I contacted a number of van lines about shipping my boat from Florida to New York without a response. Finally one van line told me that it would be very expensive to ship that way and recommended I use Uship. I was supprised by the low prices and most importantly having the opportunity to review the bidder's performance from other people using their service. The marina I purchased the boat from lost sales because of the transportation costs to deliver their boats. When I told them about Uship,what I was paying and the opportunity to research providers they were interested in using the site.
