Shout out to your ex… Are you never ever ever getting back together? Soz, couldn’t resist.
If lockdown has meant the end of your relationship, then you might wanna take a read at this latest service; defo filling a gap in the market.
An online delivery and removals platform is launching a new service where people can arrange to have their ex and their ex’s possessions moved out of their home following a breakup.
The online platform, Shift, decided to launch the service after discovering that 41% of 18-35-year olds in relationships are seriously considering breaking up with their partner following the easing of lockdown restrictions.
Destinations for the moving party can include their parent’s house, a friend’s house, the homewrecker’s property if applicable, or even Mars – in this instance the driver can take the moving party and their possessions as far away from the customer as possible.
A 15% ‘broken heart’ discount will also be available to any customer that seems particularly upset about the split, and will be given at the driver’s discretion.
Shift surveyed 2,460 people in relationships and discovered that a third (32%) are seriously considering breaking up with their partner. The age group most likely to break up with their partner are those between the ages of 18 and 35 (41%), followed by those aged between 36 and 50 (29%).
When asked why they were considering breaking up, the most popular answer included…
- That they could no longer tolerate their partner’s behaviours and bad habits (39%)
- Lockdown killing the spark in the bedroom (32%)
- Lack of trust (25%)
- While one in ten (11%) stated that they had developed feelings for someone else
‘Shift Your Ex’ will encompass Shift’s regular service where users can simply input their location and desired destination for a quick quote and easy move. This service will also have the added bonus of being able to request a special sign printed removals van to let everyone know that the ex-partner is being shifted out. Plus, Shift can also taxi the ex-partner along with their belongings, creating a swift and hassle-free solution for dealing with an awkward stage in any breakup.
Shift is a convenient delivery, removals and transport marketplace that allows consumers and businesses to move items using its growing UK-wide network of drivers (‘Shifters’). The company helps people move anything, anytime and anywhere around the UK – all at the touch of a button. Using its unique technology systems, the flexible platform works for anyone’s schedule, as there are thousands of Shifters available, ensuring the platform is convenient and cost-effective for customers.
