If I got someone from shiply to pick it up, that would mean I wouldn't get to look at the car before I buy it?

Oh I see, my mistake. I assumed shiply works by the company closest to you would pick you up and then go and pick the car up

Least hassle way unless you have a trailer and a license etc.
