DroppingBy.com is an online shipping marketplace where you can post a free listing of items you need shipping,
particularly if they are large or heavy, and receive bids from licensed and insured Shipping Providers. These
Shipping Providers are already dropping by on the same route and can deliver your stuff for a fraction of the
normal cost.
Not only are you saving money and time by no longer having to ring around for various quotes, you're actually
helping to reduce Climate Change! This is because Shipping Providers are using your items to fill up empty
space in their vehicles. By filling this space it will mean thousands less trips and millions less miles are
travelled every year, reducing carbon emissions dramatically and helping to reduce Climate Change.
List your stuff
If you haven't already done so, the first thing to do is register on DroppingBy.com. It's easy and FREE! Just click the
'Register' link at the top right of any page.
You're now ready to submit your free listing to DroppingBy.com! By clicking on the 'List Your Stuff' link at the top
of any page, a simple form will appear prompting you to fill in details of your shipment. This will include information
such as pick-up & drop-off locations and dates, a description of the items including dimensions and weights,
optional images and how long you want the listing to display for.
Now that your listing is visible on the website, our community of fully Licensed & Insured Shipping Providers who
are travelling along the same route will view your listing and place a bid with details of the service they can offer you.
You are never under any obligation to accept any bids and can even re-list your listing once it's expired should you not
receive a suitable bid.
Should you receive a bid that you want to accept, you can do this at any time regardless of whether the listing still has
time left to run or has already ended.
Choose a bid
To accept a bid you simply log in to your account by clicking on the 'My Account' link at the top of any page and entering
your username and password. Once logged in, click the 'View / Accept Bids' button on the right-hand-side and click
to accept your favorite bid. You will then be asked to confirm the details of the delivery and to pay a small
refundable 5% deposit. This deposit will be paid to DroppingBy.com using PayPal either using your PayPal
account or using a Credit Card. Should there be a problem and the Shipping Provider is unable to ship your
item then this deposit we be refunded to you.
Your contact details will then be exchanged and you will be free to contact each other to discuss the delivery.
The remaining payment will be paid directly to the Shipping Provider and they should have given you their terms for
this within their bid. Alternatively their terms of business should be stated within their profile which can be accessed
by clicking on their username.
Leave feedback
Once the delivery is made you are able to leave feedback for your Shipping Provider, giving details of your experience
which will help other Shippers when considering using this Provider in the future. The Shipper Provider will leave
feedback in return for you.
