I purchased 2 very large farm dogs from a lady in Pennsylvania.  We could not figure out how to ship them to Georgia.  Plane fare would have been $1,000.00 a piece plus I had to buy 2 crates.  My son said that he would drive to Pennsylvania, but that would have been our last resort.  I searched on the internet for a way to ship the dogs.  I entered my information into Uship.  The next day I had a bid posted saying that he would pick up the dogs, have water, a large van to transport them and he would stop and walk them when necessary.  He gave me a very reasonable price.  I contacted him to let him know that they were farm dogs and not very used to humans.  No problem.  He also had 2 crates to put them in so I did not have to purchase crates.  He said that he would pick them up on Monday and I would have the dogs on Tuesday morning early.  He arrived with the dogs around 6:15 am.  We went to the barn and let the dogs out.  It could not have been a better experience.  I knew when to expect him and the dogs arrived safe and my son was saved a trip to Pennsylvania.  Thank you for your service.  I am singing your praises.
