Great experience

Greg arrived on time and was very careful in removing the items for shipment. He delivered them promptly. He was very helpful on both ends of the delivery.

Shipping a gun safe

The whole UShip experience was novel to me. It was very easy to use. Just an excellent way to ship those "odd" items when you don't know to whom to turn for help. Website was easy to use. My service provider was excellent keeping me up to date with his location and ETA. UShip is just a great idea!

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 ...

worked out just as I had hoped!

Mike transported an antique bench for us and i was concerned that it be handled appropriately. It arrived in perfect condition!

bed and dresser

Wanted to get Queen size bed and dresser to just graduated from college son in another state. For the same amount he would have spent on a cheap mattress was able to shop him his bed plus dresser. Great experience with UShip. Will recommend them to others needing this type of service. FlByNight did an excellent job and set everything up for him on his end and for the first time in 2 months he slep ...

Great experience-great price

Mom is moving, so I needed to ship some furniture and a footlocker full of childhood stuff from Texas to Minnesota. The prices for shipping were insane! I called about 4 shippers in Austin and got bids in the $600-650 range. This was for curbside delivery! My U-Ship bid was $260 and they carried my stuff down to the basement. Plus, I loved using a family owned business based in a Minneapolis ...

Perfect Shipping experience with UShip!

I had a family heirloom (dining room set) to ship - no real monetary value, but priceless to my Mom. I called a moving company and they wanted $2,000 to ship. I searched Google and found UShip and decided to give it a try. Within 24 hours I had 6 bids, ranging from $700 to $1900. I decided to use a local bidder that seemed honest and trustworthy. It was a great experience from start to finish. ...

An excellent service

Thanks! I stumbled across uShip on the web, and now I am telling all my friends. I had been dreading getting a bed up to our daughter in North Carolina. Moving companies were outrageously expensive, it wouldn't fit in our car, and our Prius won't pull a trailer. Van rental, with gas, meals, and motel, was out of the question. What to do? Then I discovered uShip! The bidding process was stra ...

Fantastic

Thank you for the very easy and expedient service. Everything was in tact, on time and reliable. Definately recommend!

wooden desk draws & chair

They kept in touch with me the whole way of the pick up and delivery. Great communication scills and very professional in a frendly maner. Made me feel that I was dealing with an old friend ir a close family member. I would defenatly use them again if they are available.

toolbox transport

Purchased toolbox in Phoenix and needed it shipped to Indy. After review the uShip website decided to get it a try. Was very pleased with the process, price and company I selected (S3Logistics). Will use this service again.

yamaha rino

If I could not get the rino picked up and delivered at a reasonable rate, I would not have bought it.

AntiquePurveyor VERY HAPPY CAMPER

It was time for us to find a new carrier to help with east coast furniture deliveries. Alb, which I found on Uship, certainly made us very happy with first shipment. Only a few minutes after we submitted our shipment, ALB bid and promised delivery to and from within 7 days. It's what we needed, and there feedback was awesome. We tried albtransport and was extrememly pleased with the entire ush ...

Shipped Boxed chairs.

We had 2 chairs to ship from NY to GA. WE initially had bids that were more than the cost of UPS, but when I replied as such, one of the shippers lowered their bid to be competitive.

Shipment of craftmatic bed

I was left in a bind when the seller of my craftmatic bed said she was leaving for Fla. for 6 months in 6 days.The pickup was in a basement and at an elderly ladies home in a Chicago suberb. I am in N.C. After accepting my bid on USHIP my worries were no more. I was informed of the progress of the delivery at intervals. It was delivered to my storeage by a very nice gentleman,who made sure it was ...

Refund of Deposit

thomas1462 agreed to transport a large motorized lounge chair from Pendleton, Indiana to Hernando, Florida. I paid a deposit of $21.93 plus the Uship listing price of $12. Thomas called to say when he would be there and asked if there was anyone to help him load it. I checked with Jane in Pendleton and there was not. He said he had a van and was pulling a boat. I questioned whether or not the ...

Furniture

I came upong this service by searching the internet. They bid in my price range and immediately started with an excellent level of communication. This was furniture that our son had purchased and put together for Mother's Day. It had great sentimental value for us. They communicated their every move, told us when to expect delivery and worked around our schedule. Our furniture was handle ...

Great shipping of my TV and other items

The service was excellent! My pick up and delivery was on time and they took great care of my items and the driver was very friendly and nice. I would definitely use them to ship again!

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 ...

Plesantly surprised; good experience

Did not expect it to go so smoothly, but item was promptly picked up and promptly delivered. Very professional.

irregular items delivered as promised

I had two bounce houses to ship sight unseen from FL to IN. CRLtransit connected with my buyer, loaded the items even though they were not bagged, and delivered them in a timely manner. Other carriers were bidding much higher, and standard commercial carriers couldn't come close to matching the price and service. I would use uShip again if needed, and highly recommend them if you have heavy ...

Bedframe

I was shipping a bedframe and mattress from CT to IL. and wasn't sure how to do it. I got some ridiculous bids from other companies. All I wanted was a service that could put it on a truck that could take a partial load. UShip was fabulous. I had 4 different bids and the service provider I went with was so professional and honest and actually cared that my shipment was packed right. I really ...

Great experience shipping my desk

Moved my mother in law to Phoenix from Chicago, did not have enough room to bring her desk. U-Ship saved the day. The shipper was excellent, prompt and took pride in his work. Cost was within her budget because we were able to name out price. If I ever need this service again, I will definitely use uShip. Thanks

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 ...

James was AWESOME

Two thumbs up. James was easy to communicate with, very punctual, professional and flexible. I would would definitely work with James again.

My first Time!

I am a shopper! I love Ebay and now I have a shipping family to count on when I purchase an item where the buyer is responsible to arrange shipping/packing on their own. I'm not sure I saved any money because WHO was going to collect my antique brass bed and deliver it across the country to me? Black Bear did!! My shipper was great. He was easy to trust and I'm thankful for giving him ...

Good Experience shipping my boxes

I was skeptical at first because this was my first time using Uship, but it was very easy to use and EVERY service provider who bid on my shipment was very informative and helpful with my questions and inquiries. Booking fees were cheap, will definitely use Uship in the future!!

Absolutely outstanding service with our antique.

Always nervous when you don't know a mover. But LandLift made it feel like we'd known them forever. Real, down to earth people. Steve stayed in close touch with us from the time he got the order to pick-up to delivery. Absolutely no complaints. When LandLift arrived, we had a nice chat and learned we were born and raised in the same area. A magnificant moving experience. Will choose Lan ...

Great service at a razonable cost

Shipping my brother handicaped Exercycle elerc-bike from Minnesota to Laredo Tx. long distance at a very good price, was grat to work with freigth101 SBT for their comunication and help... Thanks.

Great experience shipping 2 favorite pieces of furniture from my parents' home to mine.

uShip makes it so easy to post and comparison shop -- on price and service. I didn't have much time to scout out a mover to ship 2 pieces of furniture from my parents. And, because these were cherished family pieces, quality of service was as important to me as cost. uShip's customer comments and online bidding provided the perfect solution. I made a confident decision on the shipper, and the onli ...

Horse drawn carriage

This is the second time I've used uShip and both experiences were very good. My latest experience was with Jay at Evergreen Motorsports. He bid on the shipment of a horse drawn carriage that I purchased in New Mexico. I had other bids as well, but Jay had the best rating along with a fair price. The carriage required careful loading and tying down to ensure it would not be damaged. It a ...

Great service shipping my Ethan Allen furniture

Good Old Movers did a wonderful job transporting my furniture across several states. They were very professional and handled things with great care. I am keeping their number in case I have anything else come up. I would definitely recommend them to others.

great experience for a first time user

I had several boxes of household good to ship to my ex-wife across the country and did not want to spend a fortune. uShip helped me connect with shipper already heading in that direction and the shipper was able to give me a very reasonable price for adding my boxes to his partially full trailer. The service was better and much more personal than UPS or FedEx and much more reasonable in price th ...

Great Experience

Shipped furniture from Houston to Atlanta. Picked up on time, delivered on time. Great communication. Will use again. Thank you William.

My Mother's Cedar Chest

My mother passed away in August 2008. She wanted my daughter to have her cedar chest. I thought that would be a good time to move mine from the room it had been sitting in for over 30 years also. I called several shipping companies trying to find a reasonable way to get them from Illinois to California. Very few wanted to move just two items and those that would wanted an outrageous amount for mov ...

great experience

great experience. great service. wonderful and fair price and a great shipper and delivery. have already recommended to my friends.

Great experience

I have never shipped a large item. In the past, I have not made purchases because i was unsure ow to get them delivered without spending more than I paid for the item with frieghter's or postal services. This experience was excellent and it is great to know that I can have items shipped for a good price and trust who is shipping. ALSO, I like the idea of supporting the individual business owner ...

Shipping from Hawai’i to Texas with Ease!

I moved to Texas from Hawai’i a few weeks ago and needed my stuff shipped over as quickly as possible. Considering the distance and time difference I was afraid the shipping would be overly complicated and expensive. However, with uShip I quickly found the Shipping Shack, a local shipping company that had experience in transporting goods between Hawai’i and the mainland. It’s great to know that a ...

Gife from a friend in Chicago

A good friend in Chicago wanted to give us his dining room chairs and a antique wooden bench after our return to the US. We live in Portsmouth, NH, so the expense of moving the itmes was significant. We recieved a price on ubid 80% lower than the initial price I received in the yellow pages. Tony K of Greyhound, our mover, did an excellent job. He communicated with us very profesionally and I' ...

good, easy, effective!

I found a game table that I wanted to give my grandchildren (and teach them to play chess) on ebay but was not able to go after it due to health problems. Wizard brought it to me for about the cost of my going after it, had I been physically able to. Wonderfull experience, likable, friendly shipper! What more can I say? So, yes, I will, absolutely, use uship again!

Great experience finding tranportation for a piece of furniture from NH to SC.

I wanted to transport a large chair and a half from my house in NH to my neice in SC. I was having a difficult time finding a freight carrier that was resonable and would help move the chair out of my house and into my neices like a mover. uShip was a great solution to finding the right transporter, and Samples Transport Services did a greta job. Good Job!

thanks uship

My sister had furniture that was handed down from family members that we really wanted to keep in the family for sentimental value. However, the furniture wasn't working in her house, as she needed office space instead of an extra bedroom. I happen to need a bedroom set for my new apartment. So good timing and Uship made it happen. my service provider was excellent!! I'd definitely use this servic ...

LINDA

I hope you all recognize her name by now. I've been running an ad for her for at least a month. At first I didn't take the time to study how and what to do, so that I could make it work for me. Maybe, it's my age, no patience. But finally it came to me, and I started receiving questions and bids. I was asking for charity, but had no idea that (highway to help program) existed. Finally one of t ...

The Beast

I describe the piece of antique furniture I bought as The Beast. It's a big old solid secretary that was made to with stand an A bomb blast. Must have used it in Hiroshima! Anyhow, my mover somehow managed to treat it with kid gloves enough so that it will live for another 100+ years and continue to challenge future owners - The Beast lives!!!!!!!Thanks to FLYBYNIGHT!!

Great value shipping sofa

Needed to ship 8' sofa to my son. Should be easy - just an 8 hour drive up I-75. Too expensive to rent a truck or trailer (no hitch). Shipped with cdavemove - easy for him and easy for me. First time won't be last time with UShip.

Awesome job of moving furniture

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.
