I intially attempted to utilize a transport service not affliated with uShip but when they saw the item they refused to even consider moving it because of it's odd shape! Obviously they will never get any future business from me! On the other hand, I went out and entered the information on the portable manlift I needed moved and soon had several bids and inquiries about the shipment. In fact, I had a really hard time deciding which bid to accept because there were many quality bids submitted. It made me wish that I had more items to ship! This was my first experience using uShip and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. My shipment was delivered to me without incident, the Provider was very personable and easy going and the cost was reasonable ... what else can you ask for? :-) I'll definitely use uShip again!! Thanks for providing a great service and Richard, Thanks again for a great job with my shipment!
