Household goods

Needed stuff shipped from Florida to Arizona. Shipper had a good price and was on time with my stuff. Very good communication throughout.

various furniture etc.

2 months ago i took on a shipment going from salem or to van nuys ca, then shipment turned into a nightmare due to the shipper not having arrangement set up for the drop off location etc which resulted in me storing the items in my garage. i relisted the items on uship and got a great bid and great service from this transporter. thanks again

shipment was cancelled

shipment was cancelled by me. Communication by provider was excellent despite cancellation.

Moving a Family "Heirloom" Rug

Three years ago, my brother in Minneapolis got "custody" of a large, heavy, wool rug which had been in the family for decades because he was the only one of us with a room long enough for the rug. This spring, my brother moved and no longer had space for the rug which he put in a storage shed. He gave me a month's notice that he was clearing out the storage unit and the rug needed a home. I was n ...

Fantastic Shipping Experience!

Chuck Sr. kept me informed every step of the way. He is extremely friendly, personable and professional. My belongings arrived on time and in perfect condition. I wouldn't hesitate to use these guys again! Absolutely fantastic quality of service.

Don't you hate it when you find a great deal but shipping blows the deal out of the water!

We own a small local ad paper and needed to update our magazine racks. We found a great deal on a bunch of mostly new racks from a business that closed down. Over $2000 worth of new magazine racks that we ended up getting for $40. The seller thought that he could ship them to us for $450. We were delighted to pay five or six hundred hundred dollars for over two thousand dollars worth of magazi ...

Household goods

Afino (Alex) was awesome. Everything went smoothly. He was happy to answer questions and easy to get ahold of. And all for a price, less than half of the other bids I got! (I did of course palletize and shrink wrap my own stuff, but it was definitely worth the effort!) And everything arrived safe and sound! I will definitely recommend him to others!

Shipping of Comic books

My USHIP SHIPPER was a very nice man, who showed up on time, and was very friendly, and PATIENT. I was in the middle of the kitchen remodel for my wife when he showed up to p/u the freight. He had no problems in helping me carry out the items and load them into the vehicle. He was a big help! especially after working 13 + hours on a kitchen remodel job. Thanks alot.

uShip made shipping my bird cage SO easy!

I had no idea how I was going to be able to get a 7 foot bird cage from San Diego to Seattle thank goodness for uShip. All I did was answer some questions about the cage. packaging, and locations and voila! I had three interested parties 24 hours later. I didn't even have to package the thing. Rudy was awesome, he called me about 30 minutes before he would be at my house to pick up the cage so I d ...

Came through in a bind.

I had a hot tub needing moved from one house to another but both decks it was sitting on was a challenge to get the hot tub on and off. These guys came through and was able to get it on and off the decks without much trouble. they had all the right equipment and brought all the tools needed for the job. thanks alot.

Great way to ship!

I was really impressed with uShip and their ability to get me a shipping quote at a competitive price quickly to send my father-in-laws antique snooker table to his son in Memphis. The shipper was prompt and delivered the table quickly and safely for a good price. thank you uShip!

I large box

The delivery lead time from SF to Sydney was 7 days only It was so quick and efficient I ll ship again with you guys

Strictly Business Shipping

Just a note about Tim and his service. Reminds one of 'The Mail must go through!' Tim had to endure 50 mile per hour winds, a Spring snow storm, and a deer 'suicide terrorist' that tried to impede his progress. The deer caused electrical malfunction as well as structural damage. And yet, when Tim arrived he was positive and professional. Thanks a bunch, Tom

Really Cheap and Good Experience

Before I know this website, I planned to rent a Uhaul to move my stuff from Detroit to Dallas. After estimation, I need spend $2000. It's too expensive. I then planned to rent a trailer and it may save me $1000. But my friends told me trailer is not good for my car and not safe either. So I decide to sell all my old furniture on craigslis and only deliver 16 large boxes of clothes, kids toys, bedd ...

Wonderful Experience

Intelligent Shipping picked up and delivered 100 cases of diapers, on 2 pallets, weighing 800lbs. Dave was intouch and kept me updated. The truck would not fit into the driveway, so Larry broke down the pallets for us to load on to the dollies for storage. He was patient and polite.

Fantastic Service

Bought item at auction and was not able to personally pick it up. Ran across Uship which is great idea and Chris bid on my shipment. He did such an excellent job I am now willing to purchase other items knowing Chris is able to handle the shipments. If he bids on your shipment it will be well taken care of. He is a true professional.

Uship saved my bacon!

I recently moved a customer from Raleigh to Akron Ohio. At the end of the unload, the customer noticed that a custom-made area rug was not on the truck. It turned out that someone had moved it to one side while loading the truck, and had not remembered to put it back. So - I was stuck trying to figure out how to get a rug moved 500 miles, without eating up all of the profits from the move. I p ...

small load of possessions

I was helping a senior citizen friend ship her many boxes of her most treasured possessions. uShip helped out so much . Thank you.

House hold items

I was shipping house hold items to Arizona and uship made my transaction so easy. I am a flight and I am never in one place for very long. I love the online method for communication. Our shipper was the greatest and delivered our things on time and intact. I would recommend us to anyone and I plan to use uship in the future.

Great experince

To Whom it may concern I bought a Gazebo off of ebay, The company I purcased the gazebo from is located in Topenka, Kansas. I searced the internet to ship my item from Kansas to Indiana. I ran across UShip and I posted my shipment. I recieved several offers for my shipment. I accepted an offer from BigTex. His offer was very reasonable and my gazebo was delivered in great condition and on tim ...

Amazing

I was left helpless with items in 2 other states, and stuck in the 3rd state. I would have to drive probably 36 hours straight to get all my stuff in my new home. I searched online, to find my solution! Uship! I had no idea such thing existed. I was willing to pay $700 for my items to be delivered, only to find out someone would do it for $550. I told this to my hairstylist, and she was shocked to ...

First-timer, saved a lot

I used uShip to send household goods to a city 1500 miles away. I packed 18 boxes, weighed them and priced what it would cost if I did it myself. It would have cost about $30 a box to use UPS,USPS, or FedEx; much more if I rented a vehicle or trailer to do move it. The best uShip bid came in at about $16 per box. I went with this shipper not only for the price but because of his good feedback. ...

The best experience

I had originally went with a company from USHIP that ended up being a nightmare. Their service agreement was suspended and after that they continued to email and call me requesting my business outside of USHIP.Through all of that they had delayed my pick up approximately 3 times, when they were still with USHIP. Once I told them NO they sent me a very nasty and hateful email. I am glad I did not g ...

Everything went well

Thanks

Three times a charm

I've had to use Uship three times in the past sixteen months. But I've shipped my belongings four. Well wouldn't you know it. The one time that I didn't use Uship, everything that could go wrong, did. The shipper was negligent and careless and there was a lot of damage. He left many of my things behind and didn't tell me until he got to my desintation. What do you think I did? I went right to Ushi ...

We had 10 boxes of personal items.

My husband and I are 64 and 74 without much income. We needed 10 boxes of personal items brought from my sister's house in Florida to our home in Des Moines, Ia. Uship matched us with Mark Bradford. Mark picked up the day after he called us and delivered our things 3 days later. It was a price we could afford and we are extremely grateful. Please use Mark's service, you will not be sorry.

household goods

We moved back to Oregon from Alaska and had trouble finding an affordable shipper, then we found uShip and used the accept bids option and found a shipper the same day. I used CODUSA and had a totally worry free move.

Entry door shipment

I was refered to Uship by some friends who shipped an entire household of appliances from FL to MI. I logged on, described my item to be shipped, and received a quote the next morning. We spoke to set a pickup date, Vic arrived when he said he would, carefully stored my item, and it arrived in 1.5 days to it's destination. It was that easy! Uship is now my method of choice for all shipments in ...

Shipped 7' SS sink from East Bay to San Francisco

Although the shipper was not able to deliver on the dates I had requested prior to contract, the delivery was handled proffessionally and very punctual.

Extemely easy and secure!

After delaying my shipment to my Mom for more than a year, I finally decided to bite the bullet. I gathered up a few of my old freight company quotes and called them up to see if they were still "good". Nope, in fact they were almost 3 x's last years quote. I found uship, posted my shipment, and I had a response that day. It was much cheaper than the freight company quotes, and all of my shipp ...

Good experience

Yes I would use this again. Please read feedback of a carrier before you select them.

Story?

NO thanks. I'm not going to feed into the misleading advertisement of this site.

Quick experience shipping household items

I have a pallet of boxes from an old roomate to ship. Kyle got them and shipped them for me. The whole process was very quick AND economical! I highly recommend ConlonKyle!!!

Great Experience

The shipped item was a painting done by my daughter; it is priceless to me and I was fortunate to find the shipper as national shipping companies and US mail would not deliver the painting from Georgia to Louisiana. The shipper was very professional and ready to properly protect and insure the painting. The delivery was very prompt. The communication could not have been better.

Great experience shipping my baby wears and furniture

I moved to Georgia recently and could not move my stuff immediately.A friend recommended uship to me and though i thought it would not work out,i ended up getting a very good bid from Triple S who moved my stuff at a price lower than even greyhound offered. He not only gave me an affordable price but did a highly proffessional job of the shipment. Also,he even voluntered to help take my stuff in ...

shipping boxes

I found a good deal for shipping just a few boxes and a bed- Really enjoyed and appreciate this service.

I was about to give up!

I was trying to get a large painting (52" X 57", acrylic on canvas)from Sachse, TX to Palm Harbor, FL. UPS wanted from $400 to $500 to ship via freight. It was too large for Greyhound and regular Postal Service to transport. I placed an ad on craigslist, and received a good number of responses but weren't within a reasonable cost. Then, someone took the time to send an email telling me about US ...

Great experience shipping my tile

I had over 600 square feet of tile that we ordered and was the wrong color. It sat in our garage for 3 months and we needed to get rid of it so we could park in the garage again. My Dad said he would take the tile we just needed to find a way to get it there. I searched several sites: UPS, Fed Ex, etc and it was going to cost more to ship than the tile was worth. Then I ran across Uship. Wit ...

Bath tub

Fantastic. Highly recomended

Uship Rules...

Tell a friend!

Moving halfway across the country got a little less stressful

I had 12 boxes that I needed to get shipped from Boston, MA to Madison, WI as I was moving back home. The cost to ship those boxes via UPS would have been ridiculous, so I decided to try UShip. I was matched with Kselr, who gave me an awesome price. The night before the scheduled pick-up, I had a bit of a family crises and was forced to call the shipper and cancel his pick-up the next morning. ...

great experience shipping my motor

ship my motor for a good price and in a quick manner

GREAT SHIPPER,, WELL DONE!!!!

I've had good luck using this site, unfortunately, they've changed so many rules, it hardly seems worth my while to use this site any longer. Uship now degrades your feedback rating for a cancelation, even when the other party cancels the shipment. They now collect a deposit upfront, and I guess that's why they knock the feedback of the payor since they have to issue a refund if the shipment is ...

Could I trust someone to bring my boxes across country at such a low asking price?

Christmas came and left me and with 5 boxes of toys that I needed shipped from grandma's in New Mexico, to home in South Carolina. UPS wanted $349! Upon my quest to seek out a more reasonable price (most of the toys were garage sales items) I found a company that wanted $187. That sounded fair and I almost set aside the request I had put on UShip.com. But I decided to take a chance and put my ...

Shipper took the pressure and worries away!

I am so thankful for this uship.com website. I had one week to pack and ship my things across the country, set up a new home, get married to my husband who's in the army, make arrangements to travel with a large dog and get my new home set up for guests. The shipper I used gave me a fair price, picked my things up on my schedule and got them to me within 5 days across the country! Thank you uship. ...
