the online shipping marketplace

After my grandmother died in 1982, her desk went to Aunt Kay's. Now that she is gone I was offered the desk from my cousins. They are in all in San Diego, and I moved to Seattle years ago. Although the desk is not a "real antique" (1940's era), I hated to see it go to Goodwill, so I made arrangements to have it sent to me. I am now sitting at the desk typing up this note. Feels nice to be ...

We were very happy to find Uship on the internet. At first we were unsure of using an online service, but we were really desparate as no other shipper seemed to be able to handle our unique and heavy item. My husband had purchased an antique safe (3000lbs)No freight company wanted to touch the job unless we had it crated up and then the cost was nearly $3500.00 but through Uship we were able to ...

Odd, rare, fragile antique chair moved far in just a few days. Blanket wrapped, in great condition on arrival, moved just as if it had been in my own car. Better price than commercial freight forwarder or moving consolidator type company.

I was assisting a relative who had inherited a beautiful antique clock but had no place for it in her home. We had no idea how to proceed to sell it. Then, we had received the name and address of a reputable antique dealer but had to get the clock from Florida to Massachusetts! Using U-Ship saved us $250.00!!

I was a nervous wreck trying to figure out how to move a fragile antique sideboard that was being given to us by my husband's family. U-ship site gave me many options and saved us at least $600. The carrier took excellent care of the piece and we are anxiously awaiting when we can actually display it in our home after it is restored.

This was my first experience with hiring online shipper. I can't believe how easy it was. The ratings system provides useful comparisons. I would have been lost without this site.

My transporter Robert aka "STICKMAN" communicated with me all the way and his professional packing for transport ensured the safe arrival of an easily damaged and fragile item.You would have to know me to understand how anal I am when it comes to items that are damaged in transit due to poor packing.I deal in antiques that have stood the test of time and there is nothing that irks me more then hav ...

I needed to ship an antique horse cart known as an Irish Jaunting Cart from California to New York state. After reading all the positive feedbacks from Kurt of Summit Transport, I decided to hire him. He also was very competitive on his bidding. I couldn't have had a better experience. I did not know that the pick-up location was going to involve him getting his rig up a long steep driveway, but i ...

I had purchased a large two piece cupboard and a 19th century grandfather clock from a local antique house. Normally my husband and I would handle the moving ourselves, but I had foot surgery earlier in the week and was on crutches so we needed to outsource the pick up and delivery. The auction house requires pick up of any won items within 3 business days of the auction so I needed to find a sh ...

Allgood moving had great communication and service. Joe keeps his truck clean and carefully organized to be safe and efficient. Joe has a long history in moving expensive antiques and it shows in his expert handling. I will use Uship for all my moving needs from now on!

I started by checking the local shippers around S.L.C, Utah. Bids were litterly prohibitive. A friend told me about a sign 6' that he had delivered through U-ship. I signed up and listed a very expensive sign that was not crated (as most shippers wanted them crated) Griz showed up, padded the sign and shipped the sign to Texas for me. It arrived in perfect condition and my friend who received the ...

I purchased my Antique 1920's Monarch Stove thru Craigs List in Minneapolis, MN. I live in Big Bear Lake, CA. I used 'UShip.com' and within 2 days my stove was pick up at the sellers home and my stove was delivered to my home less than a week. My stove was in excellent condition and the service provider, Wade was friendly and helpful. Wade traveled over 1800 miles cross the States. The fee was wel ...

Fantastic man, very trustworthy, handicapped serving our country. He is not bitter about that. He is not giving up but keeps going with everything he can. Shippment had high value and it was handled as such. This man is polite honest and I could not have hoped to find a better person to deliver my goods. U-Ship should treasure this man and customers should demand no less than he offers.

I was VERY nervous about shipping these 4th generation fragile Newel Post lamps from rural Az to Massachussets. I didn't have the thousands of dollars the "Art" shipping companies wanted. Gus's quote wasn't cheap but is was reasonable. Gus put me at ease from the start. He asked informed questions about the items that let me know he knew what he was doing. He personally packed them up and stayed ...

I purchased a piece of furniture on eBay for what I considered to be a real deal, but I hadn't requested the shipping cost ahead of time (my error entirely). When the BAD news came back--that shipping would be 75% of the purchase price--I asked to be released from the contract (out of Christmas kindness, as it were). The seller turned a bit nasty, and it became clear that the seller had an in-hous ...

This was perfect if you are always in front of a computer like I am! James (or his wife), got back to me within a few minutes with each email and everything was delivered faster than anticipated. They were both very nice and we will definitly call them back for any more deliveries. Thank You!

I used Qualityvanshipper to transport and antique gas pump! This item was heavy and somewhat fragile. I met him one morning as agreed upon to take delivery. He was on time, just like clockwork! Communication was excellent, timing was great. I'm happy.

I had purchased a restored antique carousel horse, manufactured in 1911, and used uShip to transport it from New Hampshire to Missouri. This was my first experience with uShip, and found the website to be easy to use. I was apprehensive at first due to the value of the item being shipped, but the communications from the transporter helped a lot. I was more flexible on time than he was, so had t ...

We have a small antique shop in Rome, GA and sold a table to a couple from Ohio who were passing through town. They really wanted the table but couldn't take it with them. They thought that shipping could be arranged later; we had doubts. Well, after many quotes and many calls, it was becoming apparent that the cost and time frame were just not going to work. We were at the point of refunding ...

I had 3 wind-up record player cabinets shipped to me in New England...these are antique wood cabinets with delicate gears inside. Mike at UShipWeHaul was amazing, working around MY schedule for delivery and very professional. The price beat the other LTL companies I had contacted, and the service can't be beat. I'll use UShip again, and Mike if I can!

My mom bought an antique table for me in McKinney, Texas. I was horrified to find out what shipping was going to cost me, but was very excited to get the table before all my family came to town for my daughter's wedding which was less than 3 weeks later. I googled shippers and got several bids. Then I found uship. Within a day, I received an email/question from mrfishaholic. He was traveling ...

The seller packed the item very well for me and the shipper delivered it promptly without incident. He was very helpful in un-loading it for me and bringing it into the store. Thanks so much! Chris Lamb Mystic Ct.

They took my desk apart in az and put it together in tx without too much trouble. The price was more than the other quote I received, but it sounded like this company was more experienced with antiques. I'd use them again.

I shipped an old toy pedal tractor that I had as a kid down to Tn. from Ohio. I didn't want to take it myself because of the investment in time and miney. I contacted U-Ship, and in a very short period of time, I had a bid from DavidNHecht. He had a very good offer for me, and his feedback from previous jobs was perfect. It still is perfect, because he did a wonderful job for me. He picked up my s ...

Within hours of listing a shipping request on uship, I received an acceptable offer from Rick Knight of Knight Moves Transport. I had purchased an antique fire host cart from a gentleman in Pennsylvania (I live in Tennessee). Rick picked the cart up in PA the very next day and delivered it to me several days later (far quicker than I had ever expected). He telephoned me at least once each day givi ...

Our shipment of Nana's Stuff was very special because it included delicate antiques that are not only irreplacable but meant so much to us, the shippers, and our son, the recipient. The price and service were superb! We will ALWAYS use USHIP! Shipment travelled from the snow in PA to the beach of Miami, FL. Perfect!

Furniture Man was wonderful and carefully packed my Dad's antique dresser.  The dresser meant a lot to me as he recently  passed away and this was the only thing I wanted from his estate.  It belonged to my great Grandmother and Dad was 91 whe he died.  So transporting this was was an important issue.  And the price was great!! Tommy did a great job and I would highly recc ...

My mother in law passed away a while back and one of the pieces she left me was an Antique Cherry Secretary.  I shipped it to my son in North Carolina - upon receiving it he called and told me it brought back memories of his childhood - he could see it at Grandma's house!!  Thanks for handling childhood memories with care!

Don " TheToolman" provided great service! He was Polite and sensitive to our time restraints! He made every effort to accomodate our time sensitive delivery of a very large and heavy crate.  We would call Don again should the need arrive for another shipment.  He helped us move and complete a  sale item from MA. to TX. without batting an eye!  He had all the proper eq ...

Mountain Transport shipped my piano, quickly and efficiently.  The price was phenominal and the service outstanding.  I would use UShip again.  However, after my experience with Mountain Transport - I really don't need to look any further.  Thank you Mike for a job well done!
