Shipping Furniture and a Family History

I have been building and collecting antique reproduction furniture for over thirty years. I have found using eBay to be difficult, especially PayPal. Over the past year I have found a number of unique pieces on Craigslist. Normally the items would be small enough to be picked up and transported by UPS or FedEx along with any payments COD. This particular shipment was much larger and included 5 cha ...

I am so glad I found UShip

After spending hours making numerous frustrating calls to different shippers and submitting online quotes and not hearing back I finally stumbled on UShip. In less than an hour I was able to arrange shipping with I-95 TRANSPORTER. My item was carefully delivered less than two days later. Thank you UShip and I-95 TRANSPORTER!

Great experience

My son gave us some upscale furniture they no longer wanted. How to get it from San Diego to Denver without breaking the bank. Had bids ranging from $3000+ to $400. Considered flying out and driving a Uhaul back. That would still have cost to much. Then I found USHIP on the web and thought what-the-heck. Setting up my account and listing my shipment was easy. Then the bids came in ranging from $30 ...

Shipping Grandma's furniture

My grandmother passed away this past summer, and we refinished her furniture (located in NY) for use in my home in Virginia. I was anxious about trusting this delivery to someone because the furniture had both monetary and great sentimental value. I had never used USHIP before but decided to try it. I was a bit skeptical, as the move involved two different pick-up locations and some very heavy ...

Great service getting my Sofas down to Buckinghamshire.

Sadly my sister who lived in Derby passed away earlier this year. My daughter wanted her sofas as they were really nice. I was going to hire a van and drive from Slough to Derby to collect them and then I found Uship. I filled in the details of the sofas etc and the bids came in. I liked the looked of Kevin (absabs) even though they weren't the cheapest so booked them. Am I glad I did. Brilliant s ...

2 furniture pieces to the east coast

I had no idea how to ship a cedar chest and a grandfather clock out to Portland OR from Indiana. I googled the question and came up with uship. I am really glad to have found such a service and have told many of my friends about it, too. My experience was nothing but positive in every way. Thank you so much!!

Saved a bunch by shipping my desk

I left an awesome desk at my parents house in Michigan, with no way of getting it to my new house in Wisconsin. After weighing my options of renting a truck and picking it up, or shipping it freight, I thought that there had to be a more efficient way. That's when I discovered uShip. Within minutes of first finding the site, I had a shipment for my desk listed. It only took a day to have a mult ...

JALI SOLID ROSEWOOD TABLE & 6 CHAIRS

Came across Uship after having bought an item on ebay and wanted it transported. Uship site is very user friendly and any questions I had to Uship or a Service Provider were promptly and professionally answered. There are no chatches. Totally legit site and the cost of transport was value for money. So glad I found this site and my first experience with Uship was better than I could have i ...

Great Experience with Midnight Haulers

Johnthan picked up and delivered the sofa on time and with no problems. Johnthan communicates well along the way and there are no surprises. I will definitedly use Johnthan and Midnight Haulers again

antiquing just got a whole lot easier for me

I'd always hesitated to bid on antique furniture on eBay, even if when the price was right, because of the trouble & expense of crating & shipping anything that wasn't being sold nearby. Recently, I spotted a desirable, low-priced piece & decided to look into how much shipping it to me might cost if I used a UShip transporter. I was pleasantly surprised to discover the price was low enough that th ...

Great experience shipping furniture

We needed to ship baby furniture from Buffalo, NY to MPLS, MN. This involved 3 sisters. One in Buffalo, one in Mpls and one in Florida (me) that actually set up the move for the other two. The furniture is for my niece that is about to have twins in MPLS. We talked to a few carriers prior to Uship but were not satisfied we knew what we were getting into. We talked to and had messages from many ...

My two art deco chairs!!!

I found two art deco chairs in San Diego Ca. I live in florida. I had heard about Uship and signed up. I got a great price and great service!!! I now have a safe new way of getting furniture to my door!!! Thanks so much. Christina

Great experience shipping an old phonograph.

Russ Haley submitted the lowest bid for moving a floor model Brunswick phnograph--1910 era. He was very conscientious in his communication and let me know when he had picked up the item at its point of origin. He kept in touch during the entire move and had to deliver the phonograph in a torrential rain. He was careful with the item the whole time and worked with my husband to get it safely and ...

first time user.

my experience with uship was a positive one. i'd recommend uship to anyone. uship personnel were easy to deal with, website was just as dependable. will use uship next time i need something delivered. had antique bar and bar stools delivered. great experience.

Excellent experience!

Everytime I use uShip it gets better and better. My last shipper was terrific. I'll always try uShip first when shipping items. Once I got over a few hitches in my initial setup, it was a breeze. It was cheaper for me to use this shipper than renting a Uhaul, and definitely less of a headache.

first time success

I bought a large item on ebay that was for pickup only. Uship was much cheaper than UPS and just as fast.

Excellent experience shipping my hand crafted rocker/cradle

I built a rocker/cradle for my cousin for her first baby and was not quite sure how I was going to get it from my workshop in Florida to her baby shower in New York. I did a web search and stumbled upon the Uship website. It sounded like the perfect solution so I listed my shipment. I had the pleasure to accept a very reasonable bid from Ted Brown(I saved over $600 or more using Uship) and he deli ...

UShip is Great!

I used UShip 4 years ago when I purchased furniture in another city. The place where I purchased the furniture shipped locally only. I searched the internet and found UShip. Great service. Then I shipped furniture to my sister; UShip again, excellent service. Then, I shipped two priceless pieces of artwork to my son. This was a 2000 mile trip. Again, UShip helped me find the right person to ...

Great experience getting a sentimental cradle to my sister

I had tried for months to figure out how to ship the family cradle to my baby sister who lives in Florida - I live in Indiana. I tried boxing it - I tried all sorts of packaging but the stand just didn't allow it to be very stable in a box. It was suggested that I purchase a crate and ship it that way which was going to cost a fortune. I'm not even sure how I cam across uship but when I did I ...

Good experience

Good service that takes the work out of finding transport for heavy or large goods. Have to be careful with the haulage company though as little histiory is generaly known and little feedback. Also, ensure haulage company understand the service they have registered for. I selected blanket transport but, although available on the van, blankets weren't used.

Great experience shipping my furniture

I was shipping very heavy bedroom furniture. Wanted to have professional movers to do the job but also didn't wanted to break my wallet. So i got on uship. Here i was able to provide information about my furniture so that different movers can bid on it. Due to competition there were over 50 bids placed and i chose the best according to me. The moving experience was also very good. movers were real ...

First time shipping

Very easy. Heard about this service from my brother, had no issues signing up and listing my bid. Everything worked out as planned.

Great job shipping my mattress with uShip!

When my son, the recent college graduate, moved into his new apartment in Washington DC, I wanted to ship him my barely used mattress and boxspring from my house in Bradenton. I don't ship every day. How much would it cost? What's a fair price? How do I know if a shipper is any good? Will they take care of my mattress? Help! Finding uShip was a blessing for which we will be forever grateful ...

first experience - good experience

'Went online to look for carrier for Granny's chair. 'Noticed uShip and took a look. 'Gave it a try and got a response within minutes. Reasonable price - accepted. Luckily chair picked up next day and delivered the day after. One phone call, one e-mail - all done. Very satisfactory. A good service. JF

For my Sister..

My sister is always doing things for me, so when I visited her, a month ago, I couldn't help but notice her kitchen chairs were falling apart. I told her I had 3 chairs that would be perfect for her, but they were upholstered and I wasn't quite sure how or who I could trust to get them to her in good shape. Well the guys came, wrapped them and hand delivered! They treated the chairs, like they be ...

Excellent Shipper!!

Semper Fi Hauling is AWESOME to work with! Michael Frear is courteous, stays in touch, treated our shipment with care, & even helped carry it up a steep flight of stairs! He is an EXCELLENT shipper and deserves extra kudos for also being a dedicated member of our military! I'm a VERY HAPPY & SATISFIED customer and because of Michael, will use UShip again! Thank you!!! Tina Green

Delivery of household goods

I had a very small load - two pieces of furniture - to deliver from Delaware to Florida. I checked with the major delivery companies and their estimates were worth more than the furniture!!! I came upon UShip and found it very easy to use. I put in the items and how much i wanted to pay and received several bids within the hour. I would definitely recommend this service and will use again.

Sofa Bed from Hexham to Milton Keynes

Within only a few hours of leaving my requirements, I had fixed a deal. The collection worked well. Delivery was delayed by vehicle breakdown. However the delivery men were very helpful in carrying this heavy and large item to an upstairs room. Thank you!

Mass to Texas

My father-in-law wanted to send us some antique furniture. He called a well-known local company and got a quote. I thought I'd check online for something better. uShip was able to do it for under half the cost. They were very communicative, talking to my father-in-law in Massachusetts, my wife in Texas, and me on business overseas in order to make all of the pickup, delivery and payment arrang ...

The EBay of shipping

What a great service! I had a bookcase to ship from Miami Fl to St. Paul, MN. This bookcase had sentimental value and I was concerned about how it would be handled. However, I was more concerned about the shipping quotes I was getting for over $3000. It wasn't that sentimental!. However, uShip cam through with two different quotes for around $300 less than 2 days after I posted my request. The shi ...

UShip is the only way to go!

Honesty is what you do when nobody's looking. Unfortunately, there are many movers who will take your deposit and never show up or change your move date and never return your deposit. You can avoid all this by using UShip and checking to see if the company has insurance and proper DOT credentials. Also, if the company requires a deposit, make sure you pay it with your credit card so you are protec ...

Bedroom furniture shipped to naples, Florida

The story started off on USHIP. we began the bid process, but I did not take the others as LOU for some reason had the best feedbacks. We negotiated back and forth I think three times and then I accepted the bid. Everything else was easy - an email, followed by a telephone call, arrangements as to when to pick up the goods - very punctual and professional - all the goods were wrapped with blank ...

Great way to get anything you need on time and at the price you want!!

I had a couch and chair I needed quickly. Johnny Express and many other shipping companies bid on my shipment a few minutes after I posted the need.Finally was able to narrow down the shipper and had a very positive experience. Would highly highly recommend U Ship and especially Johnny Express.Bid today and you practically can get what you need in 48hrs.Greats ervice. Will use again!

small dresser from my grandmother

I inherited a small dresser from my grandmother and needed it moved. Everything went fine with the bidding and aggrement. The dresser was delivered in a timely manner and I found him to be a reliable person, very friendly. I would use uShip again.

Furniture

Needed to ship furniture that we saved for our daughter from Chicago to San Diego. Too big and fragile for shippers like UPS. Large freight carriers that can be easily found would charge more than the furniture itself is worth. uShip enables carriers to combine small loads like ours in a manner that can result in charges 80% or more LESS than the charges of the large freight carriers.

Our Couch

We had a great experience with uShip because we found the most reasonable, reliable, trustworthy crew out there. They bid an offer 5 minutes after posting on uShip and 24 hours later and 300 miles our couch is now in our home.Very Thankful to have our new beautiful couch that came to us in perfect condition!!!

What a difference!!

I had previosly bought and antique sofa and chair on ebay and the person i bought it from made the shipping arrangement with people they use. I asked the [total]cost in advance to have the items , wrapped and prepared to ship. i also stated clearly that i needed these items delivered inside my home as i am disabled single woman and could not help carry anything. they gave me the price, whic ...

Shipping an ebay purchase

I bought a vintage 5 pc sectional on ebay and needed it shipped from CA to OH. I've never had to do this before so asked my best friend, a veteran ebayer, for advice. She said to sign up on uShip and let people bid on the job. It was so easy to do. The instructions were very simple to follow and within minutes, I was receiving bids. It's great because you not only can compare prices but you can re ...

shipped six chairs

would use this service again. very helpful and easy to maneuver. able to chose among a number of bids. good experience overall.

cheap and easy

Uship turned out to be a great solution to our shipping needs. We needed to get a mattress and bed frame out of our cramped apartment and we ended up with a very competitive bid for our shipping. We paid 20% of the listed "average" shipping for our items. The next time we move or need to ship anything, Uship will be my first stop.

Great experience shipping furniture.

My Dad sold his house & we had to move the furniture quickly. 1st Choice Deliveries did a great job... took good care of the furniture, good communication & fast pick up. Great job! Thanks!

Antique delivery

Ted was awesome. I needed an antique item picked up from the seller within a certain time frame. Ted happened to be in that area simultaneous with the seller. Timing for pickup could not have been more perfect. The item was a very large, heavy antique dresser to maneuver down 4 flights of stairs (no elevator) on a narrow stairwell (Brownstone in New York) - very precarious situation. Ted and ...

Thankful to U-SHIP!

I had to move some furniture and misc. items from Florida to New York and was in a bind with regard to timing, little experience with a physical move and most of all low funds. After researching the large well known named moving companies and looking into doing it myself - renting a truck, I found U-Ship online and decided to give it a shot on the bidding forum. I was a bit apprehensive of having ...

Furniture

Picked up and delivered my items very timely and I also added few items while he was there...very patient and helpful on last minute request. Would recommend and use again!

Extremely positive Uship experience

I had bedroom furniture shipped from Arizona to Washington State. Investigated several different options, all of which were too expensive (would have been cheaper to sell and buy new). Was very lucky to find UShip website. Entire experience was positive. Denes and his partners were flexible, professional and picked up and delivered my items in a timely and secure manner. I am completely satisfi ...

Chest of drawers...added to my set

I was able to add to dresser to my bedroom set that is no longer being made, uship made that possible by putting me in touch with a great shipper who charged a reasonable price and completed the transaction in record time. Thanks

Successful Shipping of buffet chest

Our father recently passed away and my sister wanted a kind of battered buffet cedar chest sent from LA to Texas. The rate she found to ship was probably way more expensive than the chest was worth. On uship we found a man driving to Texas who delivered the chest at less than half our original estimate. We were very happy that this service was available to us.

Shipped a queen bed, worked great

Thank you U-Ship! I appreciate making the connection between me and H&D. Their services worked out great. I received a few competitive bids and your service was set up well and positioned me to be successful. Thanks! Ken
