Stolen! The transport 'provider' did steel our material – Stolen! The transport 'provider' did steel our material. We did contact Shiply but they take no responsibility and not even any liability. On the website of Shiply I can NOT write my experience... No wonder why all the reviews on Shiply are good... Here you read the reaction of Shiply and that is saying it all...: Hi Luc, I am sorry to hear of… Read more
the poor service you have received from your chosen transport provider.
We act purely as a neutral venue through which users and transport providers can meet and enter into their own agreements. We are not involved in any of the actual transactions which take place and so are unable to get involved in any disputes or issues which may arise as a result of the contracts you choose to enter into with.
We are however, very happy to assist you with communicating with your chosen transport provider. Contact details are below and I have also sent them a message requesting they get in touch with you ASAP with a view to resolving the issues.
High quality delivery – Excellent communication, very high quality delivery vehicle and substantial fixings to keep car safe and in place. Very punctual too. First class service and I’d recommend even if marginally more expensive. You get what you pay for. Show details
CR50 delivery – Received multiple quotes. Wasn’t pressured to take any. Declined unwanted quotes. Agreed to a quote I was happy with and picked up within the week as promised Show details
DO NOT USE – I have a quote to transport car from Vic. to brisbane. on quote a big green tick against insurance, a list of conditions which my car qualified for. I paid $80 deposit then the price nearly doubled and i am told get your own insurance. I ask for refund, told by courier shiply has your money see them. have asked and asked no one will get back to… Read more
me. Quote says " this quote is the full amount there are no other extra fees" I wish i had read the reviews first.
Stay clear!!! They take your money and never complete the job!! – First of all, they have no number you can call. So any Enquiry you have needs to be through email and will take over a day to be answered. That should’ve been the first alarm bell. They are extremely cheap for a delivery service so I was really hoping this company would pull through.. they did not. I needed my car to get delivered, so I… Read more
completed all the details, paid a deposit, and had a timeframe the car would be picked up. The dates approached, and there was still no contact from a delivery driver to arrange the rest of the payment and pick up details. It reached the last day of the set pick up dates, and I emailed support to find out what was going on. This was there response:
Hi,
Thank you for your inquiry.
A transport provider has not yet been allocated to your job.
You will receive an email notification once they are.
Unfortunately there is no guarantee as the transport providers book jobs according to the routes they're taking.
So this is purely dependent on their availability.
I would suggest you try and source another transportation company to collect your vehicle in the meantime just in case we are not able to allocate your job to a transport provider.
We will issue a full refund for the deposit paid if we are unsuccessful in allocating you a transport provider.
Kind Regards, Sheryl
Safe to say, I’ve asked for a refund as there is apparently no guarantee or timeframe your vehicle can be delivered, even though I picked set dates and paid accordingly to those dates on their website. There is no communication or updates on your delivery. If it was up to them they would stay silent and just take your deposit hoping you would forget about it!
Absolute waste of time and scammers!! Don’t trust at all!!
WORST Car Transport Company EVER!!! – I would never recommend this company to anyone. Website is user friendly however there is NO service. We made the booking and the booking dates came and went without any contact from anyone, when I sent an email about this it took another 24hrs to get a reply that said "no driver has been allocated to your job, you are better off booking through… Read more
someone else". the date we needed it delivered by passed and there attitude was simply, oh well we cant do anything now!! no apology, no alternative just basically "sucks to be you" attitude. Unprofessional, Unhelpful and NO SERVICE! Should be interesting to see how long the refund takes!!
Do not use Shiply – Much like all of the other 1 star reviews on here, I have had nothing less then a disgraceful experience with using this company. I requested that my car be transported from Vic to Qld nearly 2 months ago and felt confident that my car would be delivered to Qld address around the same date that I would be moving there. Shiply of course were happy… Read more
to take on my request AND my money. Coming closer to the date of expected pick-up, I had not heard from Shiply and when I tried to make contact, realized there was no contact number, apart from an office in the UK (in which that phone number didn't work either). I then emailed and they replied to say that they could not fill my job?! I then had to re-book last minute with another transport company, which cost me $800 more than what I anticipated to pay with Shiply. I emailed Shiply and asked for a cancellation and refund and they told me they would refund me within 10 days. 20 days later!!! I still have not received my refund. I have sent them another email requesting my refund, again. It is also interesting that when I try to find their email to say they have sent me my refund.. the email is no longer in my inbox. Absolute scammers. This company needs to be reported to the news for further investigation as it is absolutely illegal to take money from a customer and not deliver any service.
Scam company! – Do not give these schysters your hard earned money. The website looks legit but it is not. Sadly i should have researched this better beforehand. I booked to have my car transported from QLD to SA, provided all information and paid the deposit. And i never heard from them again. There is no contact phone number and emails went unanswered.… Read more
Apparently it is based in the UK and they must be laughing all the way to the bank seeing all the money come in for nothing. Will be reporting them to the ACCC.
Not what it seems - Do Not Use! – I went online and requested a price for shipping a vehicle from QLD to NT, prices where displayed on the website and you are requested to pick 3 collection dates. I supplied 4 and they promptly took my deposit. The day before my last date I supplied I sent an email requesting an update. I was told that they had not yet allocated the job and that… Read more
I was encouraged to look for another company to supply the service. It is now four days on and still no contact. I have just sent them an email requesting my deposit back hopefully it is returned. This company/webiste is not what it seems be very careful. Do not waste your time with this company you will just end up having to find another company. I have just received an email back to say that they have still no allocated me a transport company and that they would process my refund but it will take 10 days!!
Terribly, unprofessional, unreliable – I needed my car transported from Melbourne to Gold Coast. Made a booking more than 1 month ago and paid deposit. Now have been waiting on the 3 dates given for pick up. Never heard back . Have been trying to ring them and also sent email but to date no response. Have not even refunded my deposit yet. Dont know what to do. Complete idiots. Worst thing ever... Show details
Not what it seems – I required two cars to be transported. Shiply Australia (run from the UK) provided me with a quoted price for each which I accepted. I then paid a deposit on both. HOWEVER. You are not guaranteed that the job will even proceed. You have not in fact booked a transport company you have merely received an 'intention'that Shiply will try and find a… Read more
transport company prepared to do it for that money. They are highly likely to leave you without transport on the day. To me it's dishonest. I accepted and paid for a service to be performed. NOT for an intention to have it performed. Fortunately I realised this before I found myself with two cars without transport and cancelled. I did get my deposit refunded promptly without question which gained them the second star. My opinion. Don't waste your time with them.
Highly unreliable , and irresponsible service. don't waste your time placing hopeless orders . Scam! – I was trying to move my car using their service and from the beginning they have implied they are not a serious business in Australian ground. Unfortunately after wasting 6 days, holding my money, for nothing, they got back to me saying they cant allocate a transport provider. .. At the very beginning they issue you unbelievable cheap quote,… Read more
just to catch you!
Ps: **** But finally they have not really refunded me the money. They just stop responding ! so I had to open a paypal dispute and got my money back! !****
Physhi scam business! ! Avoid at all costs!
STAY AWAY at all costs. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hi Ara,

Your transport provider has not yet been allocated.

If you are going to try them , All I have to say is Good luck !
POOR SERVICE – Booked for a car to be transported, no contact until I ask why the transport isn't booked yet, was advised to look elswhere, poor service and lack of care factor. Show details

Know better, choose better.
worst transport company I've ever used. Stay away form them – A very misleading website that should be investigated by fair trading in my opinion. Same experiance as the other 1 star reviews. I paid a deposit and booked a car to be transported from Newcastle to Cairns, was told the transporter would be in contact 24hrs before pick up. Turns out my booking wasn't a booking, they only put my booking out… Read more
there for quotes, there were none in over two weeks. They say the deposit will be refunded but the wasted time is gone. Not happy. So basically they take your money to give you a "quote" that never happens
Go somewhere else – I paid a deposit and booked a car to be transported from Brisbane to Cairns, was told the transporter would be in contact 24hrs before pick up. Glad I didn't hold my breath! Turns out my booking wasn't a booking, they only put my booking out there for quotes, there were none in over two weeks. Was really suss by then and dug a little deeper and… Read more
found that there were over 100 others who had also made "bookings" and none of them had had any quotes either, how is that possible? Have since relisted my car transport job on another site and had many quotes in the first 24 hours. These guys must be doing something really wrong, even people looking to quote on jobs don't go near them and I suggest you don't either. Only gave them one star because I had to give something, no minuses were available. They say the deposit will be refunded but the wasted time is gone. Not happy.
Stupid Service That Doesn't Deliver – I booked a car pickup from Shiply to go from Pickles to Morisset and they were a quarter of the price of everyone else. I paid a deposit and the site stated I had made a booking so, naturally, I expected the pickup to go ahead. Turns out a "booking" on Shiply isn't a booking and it wasn't until the day after the last choice of dates I selected… Read more
that I found out it wasn't a booking at all. It was an expression of interest which no towing company bothered to take up. So I was left with a stranded car and a 24 hour delay before Shiply could get back to me to confirm the non pick up. They refunded the deposit but the service is completely useless and Shiply is not easily contacted, as per usual with internet based so called "service" companies. Don't waste your time!
