I am a motorscooter collector. I have used several large Freight companies for my more common bikes [ie: Vespa's, etc] but for my latest shipment I decided to use Uship. I really liked the feedback that you can look up before confirming who I wanted. You get to weed out the bad guys that may harm your dream ride. My 1948 Salsbury is one of a few left in the world. Salsbury only built around 1000 bikes, so 60 years later, this is a rare vehicle. Once the bidding began, I narrowed it down to 2 shippers. Both had great feedback. Pantown was insured, so that was what sealed the deal. Once I hit confirm, both Chris & Adam @ Pantown were 100% on the ball, letting me know when , where, how, ...everything I needed to know about getting my bike to me. from the date of pick to the delivery, the process was fast & painless. Once at my house, Adam could have just dropped it off & left, but he helped me securely move everything to my work area. checked & made sure nothing was left on the truck & was very helpful altogether. You don't get this type of service these days. My experience with Uship was 20 times better than going direct to a freight service, as i had done before. I will highly recommend this service & Pantown to my fellow collectors to transport their dream rides all across the US. I'll be back pretty soon to ship more bikes! Thanks, John
