Heirloom Sofa

pmcarr went the extra few miles to pick up my sofa, and delivered it on time. Even purchasing special equipment to transfer it across several states.

shipment from home

due to the gas prices, it was probably a bit more difficult to find shippers, but i was patient and able to wait out until i got a reasonable bit. the provider probably could've used a navigation system, but i didn't mind giving directions to him.

Awesome experience using uShip

I had an "antique" rocking horse to ship from Arizona to Florida. Although there was no monitary value to the item, it was priceless to me as I had it for 45 years. Trying to ship the item through conventional means (UPS, FedEx Ground, etc) we were quoted over $600. I placed my ad on uShip, and fairly quickly contracted with OceanstoOceans. He picked up the rocking horse and delivered it - door to ...

Nightmare about shipping something like a fiberglass pool!

I am a worry wart! I worried about the service provider showing up. (No problem) I worried about getting it loaded (No problem) I worried about a 12' wide load going down 9' highway lanes. (No problem) I worried most about straps, connecting to the pool, and breaking it while offloading. The night before it arrived, my boom truck to unload was on another job and unable to contact by phone! W ...

Large hot tub shipment

I wanted to safely get my very large hot tub transported to the east coast, about 950 miles. I accepted a very fair bid from Shofar who was courteous and delivered all that was promised. He was available whenever I tried to contact him and he returned my calls. He packed my spa in a custom crate and delivered it 950 miles in 48 hours in perfect condition. He was exceptionally professional and ...

Hectic move made easy.

Ok, so basically I was relocating from my apartment in Washington back to my home in Iowa after a year of college. I was going to go to school closer to home so I was packing it up and heading out. However, I wasn't sure where to turn. I surfed the internet and came across uShip. I wasn't too sure about it but I thought I'd give it a shot. I posted my listing a week or two before I was flying out ...

Good experience

I looked for traditional shippers to deliver my recording console and found several, but none would have given me the personalized service that Steve Mulder from uShip gave me. The bid was originally high, but he came back with a reasonable price and he committed to delivering the console in good shape and on time, actually early.

I had a HUGE playhouse shipped

We had a huge (18 ft by 8.5 ft by 7 ft)playhouse shipped from Florida to Indiana using uShip. It was the first time we have ever done something like this. After calling movers on our own, checking freight prices and just plain getting frustrated, I stumbled upon uShip online and gave it a try. GREAT experience! Was thousands of dollars under any other movers that gave us a quote (some just laughed ...

Very large Snap-On tool box

He moved it wih ease and was on time. He was a very easy person to work with. I would recomend Just4paws moving company to anyone.

Good service

Glad to use them.

Great Experience Shipping Harp

I bought a harp for my daughter in Colorado and needed to have it shipped to our home in Utah. I found uShip online and decided to try it out. Our service provider did a great job. The harp was picked up by the service provider at the residence in Colorado where it was located and delivered to our home in Utah. The provider went the extra mile and carried the harp into our home. We saved abou ...

Moving a 500 lb. Air Hockey Table

Scott did a terrific job. He could not have been more professional and careful. My air hockey table arrived without a scratch on it. Also--he was very good about communicating from the day he got the job until the final delivery. Many thanks, and I will definitely use Scott again if I ever have another move in the future.

Great experience

I have to admit, I was a skeptic. This seemed to good to be true. I bought some Pilates studio equipment which almost broke the bank so I really had to limit my shipping cost. I called a few shipping organizations and was getting quotes from $500 to $600. I found uShip via a google search and wow, I am glad I did. I ended up having my item shipped by a wonderful carrier for $175. Well worth eve ...

Did a FANTASTIC job!!!!

I had two items shipped from Mississippi, to me in Kansas: my father grandfather clock he bought 6/6/1990 and was promised to me when he passed away in 1996 and given to me when my mother passed 12/20/2006. The other item was a painting I did from them for Christmas,1995. I would rather have both my parents here with me, but these two items were special to both of us. Millers Shipping took ver ...

Great experience!

Shipped a motorized wheelchair from Sarasota, Florida, to a suburb of Buffalo, New York. Received a quick reply to my listing on "uship", and an accepatble bid. Arrangements went smoothly, thanks to great communication back & forth. Shipment received today in excellent condition.

Family Treasure Arrives Intact

These guys shipped a 22 foot long shuffleboard table that's been in my mom's basement for 20 years. My brothers and I have racked up countless hours on this board, from teenage years on through beer-drinking nights. Mom was ready to part with it in Maryland, and Easymovers expertly delivered it to North Carolina to my new home and set it up. Within a few minutes, my buddies and I were throwing ...

Positive shipping of Mother's cedar chest

My Mother had a cedar chest that she bought as a young woman. It has moved back and forth over the U.S. many times over the past 25 years. During Mom's last move to Reno, it was necessary to leave her chest with family in Minnesota, with the understanding that I was to receive it ASAP. That was seven years ago. Didn't happen! Unfortunately, my Mom died before I was able to get her chest back t ...

Great experience with a great shipper!!!

Mike was so professional and packed and helped load the item (a 8 ft. tall English Phone booth made of cast iron and wood) more than he should have had to. Definitly could not have done this with out him and was glad that everything worked out for us. Thanks, Mike - mlp677

good experience shipping my string bass

I bought my bass in 1960 when I was in high school. It helped me through high school, then thrugh college via scholarships. I haven't played in years but just didn't want to sell my bass. It was part of me. I found out my cousin's son played bass & was interested in an upright. What great timing. A good home for my baby. Melcal got the bid. Great price and they picked the bass up and too ...

Great shipping of odd item

We had recently purchased a driving cart that is pulled by a horse. This is an odd shaped item with two long shafts that attached to the horse and a section where you sit with two wheels. These are hard to find at a good price and we bought this one from MI and we are in SC. Gary (RapidRunVanMan) was kind enough to put our cart in his open van and secured it well for the trip. This kept it saf ...

Last second move

I needed 4 large boxes shipped out of state. I contacted all the major shipping companies; UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL. All of which were telling me that it would cost me $400-$600 to have my items shipped. Not to mention that I would not receive them for 4 days (earliest). I came to the UShip website where I was given an option to select a company that would ship my packages FOR THE PRICE I INDICATED. ...

safe arrival of hot air balloon

Good price. On time pick up and delivery. I would use these guys again if I needed anything else moved around the country.

Getting My Bass Fiddle Home

When I won this bass on eBay I thought I was going to visit my son in Dallas with the RV, so I wasn't concerned it was "pick up only".. but the trip got cancelled and I tried to arrange shipping through regular channels (ie Navis) but found it too expensive. Then I found uShip, and uShip found Gael, who personally picked up the instrument in Austin Texas, drove it all the way to North Carolina wit ...

On The Move For You did a fabulous job!

Thank you Mark for doing such a wonderful job shipping our fragile furniture. I know it was delicate, heavy and awkward. Also, thank you for being flexible with our dates. We were coordinating a photo shoot with the furniture and did not pin point a date until the week before shipment. Thanks again! We will definately use you again!

Great experience shipping my christmas sliegh from back east to CA

Gary also gave me the best price and would hand pack my christmas sliegh other shippers would not do that hand they want twice the amount I was charged.

WHAT A SYSTEM!!!

I found UShip.com in my search to ship a motorized wheelchair from Chicago to Florida. Wow, what a system. I just listed the item and waited for shippers to come to me. If anyone I know has any shipping matters, they will sure hear about you from me. The Shipper: Dothedough shipped my wheelchair. They were greatand their price fell right into my budget. They called as they were on their way and m ...

A Majestict move by Majestic Movers!

This was the best moving experience that I have had and that I could imagine. The workers were professional, courteous, and even jovial during the move. They offered Incredible, service at a incredible price and did an incredible job. I would recommend this company to anyone needing to move or needing help to move. The speed, the ease, and professionalism reveal that these men have been doing th ...

great experience shipping an outboard motor

Another great uship experience. I needed a small outboard motor I bought shipped 500 miles. Luckychucky did a great job, quick and on time. Great price and great service. I will use uship again in the near future.

I Was Expecting a Wheelchair, but Jones & Son Delivered My "Tractor" just fine!

I had won an eBay auction for a very heavy-duty power wheelchair. I needed one to replace the not-so-heavy-duty one which had belonged to my father. I had managed to mangle it mercilessly along with all of the kitchen appliance surfaces, door bottoms and edges along with the door jambs. A less hardy house would have been knocked off of its foundation by now. In any case, it took a little while, bu ...

Awesome experience shipping my hot tub

My wife and I were getting her sister's hot tub but we had to get it here from north of Chicago. We looked into what it would cost to rent a truck and gas and thought we should look for someone to do it for us. We came up with a price we throught would be good. We heard about uShip from one of the local hot tub dealers and gave it a try. When we posted our shipment the first time we got good respo ...

vintage pinball machine

great experience, thanks

faith renewed

when originally posted my aqua massage bed to be moved by UShip my bid was matched almost immediately and i was amazed. The provider was hard to contact for first 2 days then when contact was made, he assured me everything was set and not to worry about my move. The day of the move he didn't show or call. He wouldn't even answer his cell phone. I got home from work and had a email from him wanting ...

Great experience shipping embroidery machine

If you need anything shipped especially an item you are worried about being damaged use Nationwide Delivery Systems as they are the best. They packaged my item better than I would have myself and their delivery people were great. On time, polite and did everything this was the best experience I could have ever hoped for.

Excellent transport of my computer equipment.

The shipper was completely professional in every aspect of handling my demanding shipment. Equipment was heavy and fragile. Driver took extra precautions in the loading and tranports of this equipment. Totally pleased with the entire process.

White Glove service at bare-handed prices!!! :)

Excellent communication, to the minute delivery, incredibly accomodating & to boot everything arrived in pristine cond!! After experiencing a couple of moving nightmares from hell, you got yourself a devout customer for life, THANX!!!

Greatest service for tanning beds

Doug was absolutely the greatest person I could have met in this entire episode. I never thought that I was in for such a rough ride but Doug took extreme measures and made sure that my best interests were his priority. The price that he agreed to was 1/2 what anyone else would have done. The help that he provided me alone was worth what I paid. He worked for me and it made me feel so comforta ...

Pinball machine delivery

I found a small delivery company that delivered a fragile (not really fragile, but because of its age could be fragile and irreplaceable) old pinball machine). It did not need to be crated and packed extra carefully because it was put in a small trailer that had lots of room and it wasn't going to be mishandled by non-caring employees which might and often does happen with big delivery companies. ...

Very happy with the delivery of our cannon!

Was picked up on time from a Museum and delivered to our customer in great condition!! On time and in perfect condition too. VERY good comunications and I am 12,000 miles away! We will surly use Gary to deliver our museum pieces again.

Special care for special items

Recently my 88 year old uncle passed away. He was a finish carpenter by trade--a man who specialized in historic interiors in the Philadelphia area. In his spare time he built a grandfather clock (from scratch). It took him 4 years to build and two years to find the right clockworks. He actually traveled to several states to search out the clockworks. The clock is about 7 feet tall, with delic ...

19th Century Printing Press Brought Back to Life!

TommyB did a great job on this, had to re-schedule and arrange with two different pick-up locations. The 19th C press had been in storage for twelve years, and I thought about selling it, and actually gave it away to a college last year. The college never picked it up from the warehouse, and finally contacted me wondering if I knew anyone else that would want it! Indeed! In the interim I had final ...

Shipping my chair

My chair had to be brought to Asheville from Charleston. I told the driver to leave at the house and where to leave it since I was not going to be home. Chair was in excellent condition and he left it right where I asked him to. I would definitely use Tony again. Thanks.

Large Indian Carving, Sculpture

My husband and I are so Greatful both with uShip and our shipper, Mike at UshipWehaul. Using both for the first time, everything went perfectly. We started getting bids almost immediately and I LOVE the way uShip has everything layed out so that questions are easily answered. Because we sell and make our living on ebay and now know about uShip and have used uShip, we'll be selling alot more larger ...

Television

Anson Farm Transport was absolutely terrific to deal with. They picked up my TV in Arizona and delivered it to Illinois completely within the time frame and price we agreed on. They were very trustworthy and I will definitely use this company again. Thank you.
