I bought a 1948 Willys truck on Ebay and needed it shipped from Kansas to North Carolina. I had a deadline to have the vehicle arrive before I was leaving on a business trip. I contacted Dependable Auto Shippers (DAS) advertised on Ebay. They informed me the truck would arrive by the deadline. When I first checked on the status at DAS I discovered that they failed to process my credit card delaying everthing by one week. They don't do anything until payment is received. Then I noticed they had both the origin and destination addresses wrong. After contacting them 3 times by phone and e-mail they finally corrected the addresses. Two weeks into it I contacted them for an update and was told because the truck was inoperable nobody wanted the job and it could take a month or more to find a carrier. When I wanted a refund nobody would talk to me on the phone, they just kept sending me back to the recording. After finally getting a refund I discovered U Ship on the Internet. I followed the instructions and within 30 minutes of posting my job had 2 bids already. Sid Hassen with FiveStar was one of the bidders. I felt extremely comfortable with Sid and his wife and accepted the bid. The truck arrived within 3 days, which I never expected, in great shape. Sid and his wife were professional, polite and very nice people to deal with. I plan to include U Ship on our website www.rveducation101 and in my e-newsletter with a circulation of 22,000 readers. I would not hesitate to recommend U Ship and Sid to anybody in need of this service
