Comparison
Stuart and Shippr both deliver in the UK and France, but they are not two versions of the same service. Stuart sends an on-demand courier for a small parcel across town; Shippr reserves a vehicle chosen for what you are sending, from cargo bike to refrigerated lorry, for your rounds, your chilled and frozen goods and your volumes.
