Great experience shipping my washer and dryer

I was in need of getting my washer and dryer transported to Florida from North Carolina. They were the only real large items I could not fit on my own for the move. I found uShip online as a method to get bids from different companies to do the "dirty" work for me. (pun intended) All I had to do was list the basic parameters of what I needed, and with in no time was getting multiple bids to ha ...

How to move a WD from SD to LA?

I looked all over the internet trying to figure out how to get our washer and dryer up to our rental house in LA without my husband and I renting a truck and doing it ourselves...found USHIP, and within 24 hours Mitch Calles at Fly Bye called and emailed me, and had picked up the washer and dryer. He delivered exactly when and where, even hooked them up and took the old ones out. I never tho ...

A piece of my childhood... delivered.

In 1977 my grandfather died and left to my care his beautifully intricate 1930 wood stove that he used to heat his home in Colorado. Now 32 years later I decided to have that stove shipped from Colorado to Philadelphia... but how? uShip was just what I needed to find the right person to deliver such a wonderful piece of my childhood. Within 6 days, my uShipper arrived at my home and reunited me wi ...

Thanks

At first I thought this was not going to work for me since many of the quotes exceeded Fedex or UPS, but the "Steve Moves" chimed in with a reasonable alternative to the high cost I was looking at. Worked out perfectly, thanks!

Moving something very heavy a long distance

I found a furnace that was described as being the size and type suitable for my mother's house for sale on eBay. I wondered how to get it approximately 200 miles down the road to where we live, before I learned that something called uShip lets you accept bids for moving jobs big or small: you can look over competitive bids and compare levels of service. The individual who accepted my job managed t ...

Great experience shipping my frozen dessert cart

Placed ad two days before I needed my frozen dessert cart shipped to my buyer. I received multiple bids that were fair. My shipping costs wer cut in half by using uship instead of ups freight.

New users, using new shipper, although worried everything worked out greate

I was shipping a 7ft tall, 4 ft wide, 700lbs fridge from Raleigh, NC to Buffalo, NY. UShip site was new to me, well designed. However the communication with the shippers is poor. Many don't respond well to communication and don't answer specific questions. You have to find the right shipper. The UShip system still makes it combersome to communicate becuase all you conversation are through mes ...

So Glad I found Uship!!

After way too many calls to shipping companies off the state's accepted list of movers and dealing with no call backs or excessively high quotes, I thankfully came across uship.com. I was able to complete my shipping need at a quarter of the price and at fraction of the time and energy it took calling around. Saving money and time equals success! Great job uship and a business well done!

Excellent

48" wide (very heavy) refrigerator arrived on time and unloaded without damage. Good 26' box truck with hydraulic lift made the job safe and easy. Reasonable price and quality service. Would not hesitate to use this company again if the opportunity arises.

Awesome

I was notified each time I received a bid and could not be more happy with your website. Great job. Keep it up!

Life made easier

When I had to return a washing machine i bought online, i had to subcontract out returning the washing machine halfway across the country, and I was away from home myself. Uship helped me find someone easily and quickly.

First Timer Here..

So far my experience with Uship has been wonderful and easy to use. At first, I was skeptical of the service and the outcome. I was ver impressed with the website and the dealings. I was more impressed when I did my first booking and turned out to be a perfect experience. I will continue using Uship with all my freights in the near future. Thank you Uship for an easy user-friendly website! F ...

Great experience shipping my fridgerator

I had a very positive experience using uship and this service providers. I saved a couple hundred dollars and my stuff was here in the time they quoted me. I couldn't ask for anything else. I would use again and recommend to other people also.

Great experience shipping my Fridge!

We have never purchased a big item off of ebay simply because we could not imagine how we would coordinate the shipping and keep the cost from killing the deal. Then I saw this beautiful, vintage Kelvinator Refridgerator for a great deal. I thought worse case I would drive the thing here myself. As luck would have it, the fridge was owned by a frequent ebayer and clued me in on Uship. I had nev ...

This is a trustworthyservice,

Freight shipping is difficult. If you are on the fence about using USHIP, don't be. It's legit as long as you have your own act together and understand what is involved in shipping large items. Also understand you will pay first for the deposit and then pay the shipper direct. But it's all good!

Wood Stove Purchase

Found a used wood stove on Craigslist from Seller in NJ 300 miles away. After contemplating picking up myself I came upon USHIP and thought I'd give it a try. After listing shipment I had 2 offers in 2 hours of what I thought was a very reasonalbe price. After reviewing feedback and asking a couple questions I accepted bid. Was contacted same day and provided Shipper with Seller's info. Shipper c ...

Great all around experience

This was one of the easiest services that I have ever used. Great prices, very professional and experienced movers. I could not have asked for a better transaction.

My Lopi wood stove

I was looking for a wood burning stove to use on the cold winter nights in Prescott, Arizona. I found the stove I was looking for in Los Angeles, California. Before I committed to purchase this wood stove I needed to find out what my shipping cost would be to pick it up and move it to Arizona. I had heard of uShip and how you could place the weight and description of the item on their site and ...

Church Vacuum

I bought a vacuum on Ebay for a donation to our new Church. The cost to package the vacuum and ship it from Kansas to Arizona was more than the cost of the industrial Vacuum. I place an ad on uship and was contacted by Victor. (vwilke2612) within 2 days. He agreed to pick up the vacuum in Kansas and deliver it to the Church. What a blessing he was. It only took 2 days to get the vac. Victor was ve ...

Shipping of appliances

CRL is a credit to his field. We would recommend him anytime. Excellent to work with. Very nice person and did an excellent job! Went out of his way to deliver appliances to our family up North. He would receive an A+ rating from us!! UShip, you better keep this shipper around!

Great experience shipping my washer and dryer

Bill was able to get my washer and dryer delivered within 18 hours of the original bid submission. I got good service right away.

Shipment of Ice Bin

Provider called and worked out a schedule for pickup with me. He was punctual and loaded the item in his van for delivery same day. I would recommend him to others.

Florida - Ohio Stove Delivery

My sister-in-law was giving me her gently used stove - I had spent a whole day trying to expedite a shipment and couldn't find anything under $600 (that being the lowest)using the traditional carriers, i.e. UPS, DHL, etc. She then called me and told me that her friend used UShip and to give it a try. That was the best advice I had received-I settled after several competitive bids with VANMAN ...

Antique Stoves travel across the Country.

I needed two fragile, antique railroad pot belly stoves moved from Ontario to Calgary. uShip was what I chose and I'm glad I did, since I got to pick who actually brought them. There were several bidders, prices were roughly similar and based on feedbacks, I made my choice and the stoves arrived in fine shape! My shipper was flexible and accommodating when some scheduling details went awry, and ...

650lb Sub Zero

I don't know how Mike loaded this by himself! We never did meet Mike, as he dealt with the owner on the pick up end, and a relative of ours on the drop off end. It took 3 men and a special dolley to move the Sub Zero into the house! Delivered in timely fashion, stayed in communication.

Great service getting a RC AC unit shipped 1600 miles

This has got to be one of the better services I have found on the net. After looking at what it was going to cost to have something shipped with FedEX or UPS I saved a bundle. A buddy of mine in MI found me a RV AC unit for my trailer and I needed here in TX, the other guys wanted around $700.00 dollars to get it down here. With Uship.com I got it here for 130.00 dollars. The driver was very ...

Fridge move from Houston to Corpus Christi

Setting this move up was easy to do once we got used to working the website. The service vendors should be listed alphabetically as a way to easily search their database. The manner of setting up the request and bids, plus asking questions was simple and convenient. We will definitely use your site again. The service provider we found was excellent - VANSAR. They were great to work with from s ...

First time user - would use again

My grandparents in NW Arkansas recently gave us a set of GE washer and dryer. It was a great set, but getting it over here (Raleigh - 1100 miles away) would have been the problem. I looked all over and got bids from shipping companies and it would have been cheaper for us a to get a new set here. Then I found uShip. I was sceptical, but we needed a set soon. I posted on a Friday, two days lat ...

Easy and much cheaper than UPS or Fedex!!

Amazingly easy way to ship larger items at a fraction of the cost. Second time I've used Uship and I feel like my shipments are treated with care and I am treated like a person instead of just a number.

great experience

I nede to return an item that was heavy. I did not know about u-ship until a search engine took me to it. I would use it again.

averted complications

i had to change my plans several times, due to an uncooperative seller, and wetherynet was completely polite and understanding, and very flexible. i would recommend this service highly, and will definitely contact them again when i need something moved.

Very intuitive service, alleivate any concern in shipping goods

First time use was very intuitive, receive many qualified responses, the selected carrier was very responsive and reliable, and overall experience was above and beyond expectations. I intend on using service again in future without hesitation.

Good experience! Excellent Price!

My working experience with OutdoorCraftsmen was excellent. I will recommend them in the future. My delivery schedule was handled according to the plan and the refrigerator arrived in good condition. I feel I received outstanding service at a very reasonable price. I will use uShip if I need shipping services in the future.

Worry-free shipping experience

Great service including excellent communication throughout the process, accommodating special pickup and delivery circumstances, and handling the shipment with care.

Positive experience shipping my new range

We got a great deal on a sleek range for our kitchen renovation - the only catch was that it was at an outlet store 180 miles away that didn't offer delivery. We looked at renting a truck and picking it up ourselves, but for convenience we also decided to see what we could find using freight shipping. We were very pleasantly surprised to find that a bid we received on U-Ship - the more conve ...

First time using U-Ship and you changed the way I do business !!!

This was my First time using U-Ship and I didn't know how it worked or what to do. I took a few minutes to read the web-site and followed the easy instructions and thought what the heck .. lets give it a try and see what happens. I had done some research on what the shipping cost would be to go with the big carriers and I know I didn't have that kind of budget to work with on this deal. After I ...

kitchen appliances

I am so please with Uship this is the 2nd times that I have used Uship and I love it, I will continue to used this service any times I have need for shipment.

Move of a seriously heavy refrigerator...

I found ITS on UShip it when it came time to purchase a 2nd hand refrigerator....I knew I was not going to be able to move a 800lbs unit without assistance from movers. I put the listing out and found several providers offer to move the unit. ITS had good recommendations and were very competitive in price. Overall great experience and service. Thanks

Great experience shipping my washer

I wanted to ship my washer from Boise, ID to a new residence in Garden City, Kansas but had no idea where to begin or how to do that. Then I found U-ship. It was a wonderful site! I just filled out the info once and all of the shippers came to ME with bids. I loved that! After getting a wide range of bids and offers of types of service, I decided on Valleyfleet shipping (John McKinley). I had the ...

Great Service. Very Easy to Use.

I purchased a very, very heavy, vintage stove from a lady on Craigslist. There was no way I could have moved it myself. I posted my item on Uship and, within minutes, I had several bidders. Fortunately, I chose Lukasz's bid. He had terrific feedback scores and a reasonable bid. The seller needed to get the stove out of her garage right away. However, the hardwood floors in my house were be ...

GREAT EXPERIENCE WITH MY GOODS!

I PURCHASED AN ANTIQUE STOVE THAT WAS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE AND VERY HEAVY, I HAD NO IDEA HOW I WAS GOING TO GET IT DOWN TO NORTH CAROLINA FROM NEW YORK AND TRUST THAT IT WOULD ARRIVE IN ONE PIECE AND NOT DAMAGED. I WENT TO USHIP AND PUT IN MY REQUIREMENTS FOR BIDS, ALTHOUGH SEVERAL WERE THE SAME PRICE RANGE, ALB TRANSPORTATION WAS THE ONE I CHOSE BECAUSE OF THEIR PROFESSIONALISM, THEY WERE THERE ...

Great experience shipping my washer & dryer

This is my first time using uShip, and at first, I was a bit wary. I didn't recognize any big-name movers, and I wasn't sure how trustworthy the service providers are. But next time I move, I'm definitely going to keep uShip in mind. I was able to move a full-size washer and dryer for less thatn $80 without having to do any heavy lifting myself! Love this site; I'm definitely going to recomm ...

My story

I really had very bad experience with the UShip in 2007. I stopped using them but I gave them another opportuntity this month and finally I was to find a good mover.

Shipping very heavy table saw

I had a very heavy table saw - over 350 pounds - sitting in my basement for several years. My fathter-in-law recently retired and during a visit he spotted the saw and expressed interest in it. We live in Ohio, he lives in NH. He agreed to pay for the shipping if we could find someone to haul it out to him for less than it cost to buy a new one. While I had several offers on USHIP, Jeff Peters' ...

My dream stove delivered to my door

For years I have looked through pages and pages of eBay listings for antique gas stoves. I live in NC and all the best stoves seem to be in California. Usually when I would seriously consider purchasing a particular stove on the West Coast, the problem of crating and shipping would rear its ugly head. If I could find a shipper willing to work with me, the price was exorbitant. So I shelved the ide ...

Great experience shipping my washer and dryer

This was my first time using U-Ship and was a great experience we would recommend to others. Also recommend that U-ship seeks advertisement with military one-source.

Great experience !

Compressor was very large and hard to handle. He did everything possible to get it here the way we agreed even if it was not the size he would normally take. We received the compressor and he did assisted at the pick up and at destination to take it off without any damage. Great person to deal with ! Thank You!

Wine Cabinet

this was a 600# beast that Leonard somehow loaded himself without scratching it...amazing. He then helped me move it into my house and went above and beyond his call to hlep rearrange it several times.

Great job moving my refrigerator!

I was selling my first house and needed some quick transportation for a refrigerator before closing. uShip was a very convenient way to get bids and book shipping quickly. This is my first time using this service, so I didn't really know what to expect. I was delighted and impressed! The movers were friendly, helpful, and efficient. I would definitely recommend to others!!

Great experience shipping my washing machine

The shipper was great, this was my first time using Uship and I will definitely use it again with the same shipper because he was wonderful.
