i was looking around and found a site called shiply and got few quotes for diffrent deliverys to see if itd work out cheaper instead of me going down there then driving back up and most of them do only work out 50 quid or so more but saves me like 6+hrs driving and getting down there anyone else used anything similar? or know anyone who does this?

I have seen some right old trolls with 'a fresh MOT' and recent service (new filter old oil). Anything over £1k is worth travelling to see.  ________________________________________ IPhase 3 Astor.

I wouldnt bother with shiply. my dad got a quote for transporting a yacht (52 feet). price was good, comms were good. then the company decided the day before to sub contract to another firm and requested another 1k ontop. by this point my dad had organised a crane etc so didnt have an option to cancel.the sub contract company were great. We took the orginal contractor to court and won. not recieved any cash off them yet so the next step is siezing their goods (court is helping with that) ________________________________________ Join Quidco the top cash back site and earn £1.25 from my referral link (once you earn £5) http://www.quidco.com/user/571859/1838 |

Honestly, would you trust a transport company to transit a car if you bought one from a distance away? I know I wouldn't. What would happen if there was some minor damage to it when it arrived? The company would just say the vehicle was like that when they collected it.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |
