Employing Shiply to Uncover an Economical Removal Firm


Shiply simplifies the process of discovering budget-friendly removal companies that accommodate your unique needs & specifications. Merely create a listing on the Shiply platform, outlining your move, & allow the quotes to come to you, potentially reducing costs by up to 75%. Whether you necessitate a comprehensive service with all the extras or merely a bit of van space for items that won't fit in your vehicle, Shiply has you covered.


No two residential relocations are identical, so having multiple estimates to compare allows you to find the service that best suits your move. With thousands of registered firms, you'll have greater choice over the assistance you need on moving day & the price you pay. When listing your house or flat move on Shiply, be as detailed as possible so that companies can provide accurate estimates for the services you require. Once you've received several quotes, you can communicate with the removal firms using the messaging system to clarify any further details before making your final decision & accepting a quote.

The Benefits of Utilizing Shiply for Your Residential Move


Shiply boasts thousands of registered removal companies ready to provide you with an estimate for your house relocation. This means you have more options when it comes to the type of company, service, & price you pay.


Utilizing Shiply saves you time. With just one listing, removal companies come to you instead of you having to contact each company individually, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your move while the estimates arrive in your inbox.


Shiply's online form is user-friendly & straightforward. Simply answer a few questions about the specifics of your house move, such as whether you reside in a house or flat, the number of rooms, & the addresses of both your old & new home, & your listing will be live in no time.


Opting for Shiply is better for the environment. Our registered moving companies schedule their jobs around their existing work in your area or use spare space in what would otherwise be an empty or partially-filled vehicle. This means your house move will often have a lower negative impact on the environment.


Shiply typically offers lower costs compared to standard rates. As your possessions will be utilizing otherwise wasted space in vehicles, our removal companies can offer cheaper prices for the same high standards of service. Shiply users often save up to 75%, so you won't be paying an unnecessary premium.


Varieties of Removal Services Available on Shiply


A company offering a comprehensive moving service will assist you with all aspects of the move, including packing, heavy lifting at both ends, & unpacking in your new residence. This type of service is typically more expensive due to the amount of work involved. A full service is ideal for busy households with minimal time for packing & those who prefer to avoid the stress of the move & leave the bulk of the work to professionals.


A partial-service offers some of the same features as a full service, but not all. Typically, a part-service includes loading & unloading at both ends but does not include packing assistance. This type of service is best for those who are available on the day to be involved in the move but may need an extra pair of hands. A part-service also suits those who may need help with specific tasks at either end of the process, such as assembling furniture.


A self-service or self-packing move is the most basic & cost-effective option. Self-service can involve either hiring a van to drive yourself or hiring a driver with a vehicle to transport your possessions from your old house to your new one. If you have plenty of helpers ready to assist on moving day & do not require a team for packing & assembling, a self-service move is likely all you'll need.


When choosing between quotes from removal companies on Shiply, ensure you understand the service each quote includes so you know what to expect & how to prepare for moving day. Before accepting a quote, we recommend reviewing the Shiply profile of each company to check their insurances, accreditations, & feedback from other Shiply users. Once you've decided which company to use, accept your chosen quote.


In the lead-up to your moving date, inform your chosen company of any changes that may affect them.


Preparing for Your Residential Move


There are many things to do to prepare for moving day, which will help everything run more smoothly & minimize stress. Here are some tips to help you in the lead-up to your moving day:


Notify people about your move - In addition to loved ones, remember to inform companies about your move, including energy providers, your bank, & Royal Mail. Subscriptions, memberships, your TV licence, & phone bill will need to be transferred to your new address, so make a list of everyone you need to inform & work through it one by one.


Declutter - Try to get rid of items you don't want to keep, especially if your new home has less storage space. For higher-value items, consider selling them on eBay for extra money, & donate items to charity or give them away to friends & family. After decluttering, you'll have fewer boxes to pack, & it'll feel more like a fresh start in your new home, not surrounded by things you don't need or want.


Ask supermarkets for leftover cardboard boxes - Boxes don't have to be expensive. Ask friends & family for spare boxes or visit your local supermarket to see if they have any in the stockroom for you to have. If you've paid for a full moving service, cardboard boxes may be provided, but it's best to double-check what your service includes so you have everything you need on the day.


Pack your most-used items last - If you're struggling to get started with packing, begin by packing the items you use the least. If you have a loft or cupboard full of items you hardly use (but don't want to throw away), pack these first without impacting your daily life. As moving day approaches, gradually work your way towards packing items that are more regularly used. For fragile items like crockery or ornaments, use protective packaging like bubble wrap or newspaper & ensure they are tightly packed in their boxes so they can't move around or break during the journey between houses.


Label everything - Ensure boxes are clearly labeled. You don't have to list everything in each box, but even writing which room it's for (e.g., kitchen, bedroom 1) will help the removal company know where to take the box & will assist you when unpacking at your new home. Stock up on parcel tape & pens & share them out to each family member so they can pack their own bedrooms.


Try to schedule a weekday move - If possible, a weekday move is more beneficial for several reasons: There'll be less traffic on the roads, fewer people around, & there should be more removal companies to choose from by avoiding a weekend date. If you have children, moving on a weekday means they'll be at school, safely out of the way, & they'll come back to a new home after their school day.


Recruit helpers - If you think you might need it, ask for help from those close to you to ease the load on moving day. An extra person helping will get the work done faster, which will lower stress levels & give you more time to enjoy your new home. If you anticipate needing an extra pair of hands on the day, specify this on your Shiply listing so companies can source the necessary staff.


Keep in contact with your chosen company - If there are any changes that may affect how your chosen removal company can help you on the day, let them know in advance. For example, if you're not allowed in the new home until a later time than agreed or if you need more vehicle space than anticipated.


Arrange cleaning in the old house - Whether you're cleaning it yourself or hiring a professional cleaning company, leave the old house empty, clean, & tidy for the next owners to move in. If you don't want to take cleaning products to the new place, consider leaving items like cloths or bleach for the new owners to use.


Pack a moving day bag - A great idea is for everyone to have their own moving bag packed with essentials for the first few days in your new home. This will save you from having to unpack boxes prematurely or waste time desperately searching for a phone charger in a sea of boxes. Good things to include in a moving day bag would be a toothbrush, toilet roll, a change of clothes, & a toolkit.
