"2-day FedEx wouldn't have delivered my climbing wall faster!"

shipped from New Port Richey, Florida to Corpus Christi, Texas for $287.03

I wanted to buy a 3-panel climbing wall from Florida, but conventional shipping was turning out to be as expensive as the panels themselves. So I posted my request on U-Ship on Sunday. Donny Liles wrote saying that he was leaving the next morning from the same area in Florida and making a delivery to my town of Corpus Christi, Texas. So I purchased the panels with PayPal, accepted his bid (about half as much as the conventional shippers), and he picked them up the same day. It's only Wednesday morning and I've got the panels already. What a great thing for a shipper to be able to add another item to an existing load at the last minute - even over the weekend. Nice service, uShip! I especially liked being able to read the feedback about Donny ahead of time, and liked how easy the service was to use. I'll certainly use uShip again and recommend it to my friends.
