Yep sometimes they pay off, always worth putting a bid on at a price worth doing, then wait and see.

Always a good idea to check with the vendor that the price Shiply has told him to expect to pay is the same as Shiply has told you - Some do not understand that the "deposit" all goes to the website and the courier has not yet received any payment - Also note that if you are VAT registered then you are bidding against others who are not.

Just thought it's worth pointing out that there's a fair amount of work going on Delivery Supermarket.
This guy is doing really well, regularly quoting and picking up work..

Unlike Shiply, Delivery Supermarket is free to use. It just introduces you to the shipper.
i'd recommend delivery supermarket i had a customer who required a over sized ebay item collecting from up north & delivering down south in to London problem was the awkward collection times as it was evenings or weekend only stuck it on delivery supermarket aswell as shiply, got it covered for a good price on delivery supermarket & got provided with a good service my customer was happy & so was i as shiply i was getting ridiculous quotes, not only that i just don't trust the site or drivers on it as alot are uninsured the company who i'd used have now joined mtvan hampson & sons they do alot of ebay stuff, i'd use em again should i get another ebay customer.

Problem with DS is that there doesn't appear to be a search facility for jobs near me, so I have to trawl through all the postings to find anything close to where I happen to be. (I've left feedback on the site to this effect but had no response). Otherwise, I'd use the site.

I put quotes in on DS not had one reply, been the only one to place a quote on some still no reply, the site needs a lot of tweeting to get it right, ie search button, be able to message people before you quote so as to get an idea of load size etc etc
