That's not a bad price actually!

As Rich says, you may get lucky with Shiply if someone is coming this way with space on their van wink

Nice one Rich!

After getting good service from Lee Costello, I go to him direct and get a good price and we avoid Shiply fees. Worth asking for a quote but he is usually very busy - but reliable.

 Yes, that's how they work. Think of them like ebay, you advertise for the work and the shipper bids for the job.
