The moves this is built for
Not every move needs a moving company. When it is too big for your car but nowhere near a full house, the traditional options don't fit: a removals firm quotes a half-day minimum, and a self-drive rental leaves you doing all the lifting. SHIMI sits exactly in that gap, with a right-sized bakkie or truck, a driver who helps load and offload, and a price fixed upfront from the distance and vehicle class.
It is built for the everyday move. A student shifting a room between res and home. A single bed and a couch to a new flat. A Marketplace bargain that will not fit a hatchback. A box run to a storage unit. You describe what you are moving, we suggest the smallest vehicle that fits, and you pay only for that: no padding for space you don't use, no hourly meter running while you find parking.
Everything is online and quick: enter your pickup and drop-off, get the quote, pick a window, pay by card. You follow the trip on a live link and get a photo when it is delivered. Most local Gauteng moves happen the same day, so a small move doesn't have to eat your weekend.

From the delivery note
“I went to the Rosebank store at 08h30 for a shower door. They didn't have stock so they called the Randburg store. They said I'd have the door delivered by 11am, and true to their word it arrived at 11am! Plus a super communication tool that kept me up to date with the delivery progress. Very impressed, well done.”
“The delivery guys were very friendly, helpful and took care whilst offloading. Well done. Very good service!”
“Quick, timely and efficient delivery. My item arrived in perfect condition. They notified me as to what time they'd deliver, and they arrived on time.”
