If you drive a van for a living, you already know the maths: every percent a platform takes is a percent off your wage. Shiply has long been a go-to for finding removal and delivery work — but the commission and membership costs add up fast. Here's a zero-commission alternative built around drivers keeping what they earn.
What Shiply costs drivers
Shiply charges drivers a commission on every job they win — typically 12.5% to 17.5% depending on your membership tier — and the lower commission tiers come with monthly subscription fees. So you're often paying twice: a monthly cost to be on the platform, plus a slice of every job you win.
On a £300 job at 15% commission, that's £45 gone — before fuel, before tax. Do four of those a week and you're handing over the best part of £180 every week just to access the work.
How We Got The Move works for drivers
We Got The Move charges drivers zero commission and zero subscription. The only fee in the whole transaction is a £9.99 introduction fee — and the customer pays that, not you. When you win a job, your full quoted price is yours.
It's free to join, free to browse live jobs, and free to bid. You set your own prices, choose which jobs to take, and keep 100% of every penny you quote.
What you keep — side by side
| We Got The Move | Shiply | |
|---|---|---|
| Commission per job | £0 | 12.5–17.5% |
| Monthly subscription | None | On lower-commission tiers |
| You keep on a £300 job | £300 | ~£247–£262 |
| Who pays the platform fee | The customer (£9.99) | You |
| Set your own prices | Yes | Yes |
| Free to join & bid | Yes | Free to join, paid to win |
How much more you actually keep
Say you win four £300 jobs a week. On Shiply at 15% you lose roughly £180 a week in commission — about £9,000 a year. On We Got The Move that £9,000 stays in your pocket. Even allowing for the customer-paid £9.99 fee (which isn't your cost), the gap is enormous over a year.
Getting started takes two minutes
