I PURCHASED A CRANE ON EBAY.   THE BUSINESS THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM WAS IN NASHVILLE TN.  THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO PUT THE CRANE ON SKIDS SO THE LARGE CARRIERS WE NORMALLY USE WOULD NOT TAKE THE ITEM.  I CALLED ONE LARGE CARRIER AND THEY AGREED TO TAKE IT AT EIGHT TIMES THE NORMAL COST.  I STUMBLED UPON THE USHIP IT WEBSITE AND ENTERED MY ADD IN LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES.  WITHIN A FEW HOURS AFTER I ENTERED MY ADD I HAD A BID THAT WAS MUCH MORE REASONABLE THAN THE LARGE CARRIER.  HE IMEDIATELY LEFT THAT SAME DAY AND PICKED THE ITEM UP AND HAD IT IN ST LOUIS BY 9:00 AM THE NEXT DAY.  HE EVEN HELPED US GET THE ITEM OFF THE TRUCK.  I WILL DEFINETLY USE THIS WEBSITE  AGAIN.  THANKS
