Delivery Quote Compare provide you with all the tools and information you need when choosing trusted transporters
Regardless of your transport needs, be it a car move or an item of furniture, you want it collected and delivered professionally, safely and on time by a Trusted Transporter.
Some websites offer a direct booking or booking calendar, these can offer you an immediate price but give you no indication of who will be transporting your items. No information on their accreditation or insurances are available and with no guarantee the job will be allocated. *
Delivery Quote Compare give consumers access to real transporters who are accredited and rated with feedback, all available for reference prior to accepting a booking.
Choosing a transporter
- List the details of you transport requirements through the Delivery Quote Compare home page, this take sonly minute or two. Size and weight need only be estimates and locations need to only be a postcode or town.
- Choose a delivery timescale:
- Economy 7-10 days, this is often the cheapest as transporters can fit this around other work and often on a return journey.
- Fixed date – Especially useful if a vendor has specific requirements or availability times
- Between dates – Again useful if specific time or date ranges are required.
- ASAP 1-3 days, If you need a job completing quickly, select ASAP, this may reduce the number of quotes and increase costs but will be completed quicker.
- Economy 7-10 days, this is often the cheapest as transporters can fit this around other work and often on a return journey.
- When you’ve received your first quotes (this can be instant or over the course of several hours) you can look at the transporters details directly from the quote:
- Check feedback from completed jobs, this is real feedback from clients like you.
- Read their profile, they will include details on payment, insurances**, details of their vehicles and of their company.
- Read any messages they have sent with the quote often offering availability.
What if they have no feedback?
Everyone has to start somewhere,
many transporters who join our site have been in the business
for years but have joined to expand their customer base.
No feedback does not mean no good,
only that they haven’t had any feedback yet.
Ask further questions about them and their experience.
