Perfect Plum!

Ben and Sharon did a great, A+ job. I was shipping my brand new horse, Perfect Plum, from California to New York. They made a very stressful and anxious shipment, much easier for me. Thank you both!! They were easy to reach and kept me posted every step of the way. They were very accomodating, and even let me change my horse's destination mid-shipment. They made me feel totally comfortable ...

Mtn Cur

We were having a young mountain cur pup shipped from North Carolina to Pennsylvania.I have always had a good experience with uship.We saved a good bit of money over picking the pup up ourselves.Our service provider did a good job with communication although there was some confusion as to who was providing the crate but over all they did a nice job.I will continue to use uship with all my shipping ...

Zipper

We sold Zipper over two years ago, but always said if he was ever for sale we would buy back in a heart beat. Well that's just what happened!! Someone referred me to Uship as we had always done the hauling for ourselves! Michelle made a bid & after that everything went smoothly!! We had great communication & he arrived safe & sound on my 30th birthday!! One things for sure Zipper will never n ...

GREAT EXPERIENCE

Ian made this a great first time experience for me having my filly hauled. I was nervous but after dealing with Ian I was immediately put at ease.

Super shipper for live pets

A few years ago, I adopted a cat from a terminally ill friend. Last year, the cat finally died of age related problems when she was 18. I found myself looking for a cat that looked and acted the same as a sentimental reminder of my friend who had passed away. I found a perfect match at an animal shelter in Kentucky. Unfortunately, I live in Alabama and work about 80 hours per week. I was desp ...

Excellent service

I needed to transfer my dog in a hurry from Florida to North Carolina, Harold, provided great service, and transfered my Dog to a vet, in North carolina, almost as if it was his own pet.

Positive experience shipping my cat

I needed to ship a cat from Virginia to Massachusetts within a fairly tight (6-9 day) timeframe without spending a lot more money than just usiing airline cargo rates. I got several bids from uShip that met my needs. The selected bidder was responsive, friendly, cost effective and punctual. I would use uShip again.

Puppy Shipping

U-Ship has been a great asset, before U-Ship we were flying our babies to their new homes. However, since U-Ship this is my prefered method of transporting our puppies to their new families. It not only saves me time, gas and money, but it is less tramatic for the puppies as they are kept close with human contact. Thanks to all the wonderful people that have transported our puppies. Thanks U ...

Horse Shipping

Nothing terrible or great to mention, just an average tale of scheduling conflicts and needing a refund to get another carrier but both sides were amicable in the end and both carrier and shipper would be willing to give the other another try should the need arise again.

Shipping two old Friends

We shiped two old Quarter Horses from Georgia where we purchased them,to Philadelphia where we live. I was initaillly very uncertain about how to go about shipping a horse as I never even owned one before! I contacted some shippers directly, but many did not answer very quickly. The best price I got was from someone not on uship but they could not ship for another 5-6 weeks. I got lots of bid ...

My old retired horse returned home safe and sound.

Last year I gave my 28 year old horse to a woman who promised him a good home. She shipped the horse from PA to her home in MI. I had given him away (after 10 years of owning him) to someone who promised him a great life but he was not the right horse for them. A couple months ago I received an email stating that I had to find him a home or she was going to put him down. I hoped to not have to ...

my babies

chis took my dogs and got them to grandma's just as he promised. a very good man to hire to haul your presious pets.

U Ship is to cool!

I'm telling everyone I know about U Ship! It makes things so much easier and alot less time consuming! Whoever started this site...THANK YOU!!! I'm still waiting on my t-shirt and cap to help me tell everyone I see about "U SHIP"!!! Thanks so much! Stacy

Great care for my mare

I posted a shipment on UShip and am very pleased with the professionalism of the shipper I chose. They did a great job and I would definitely use UShip again for transporting my horses.

Filly moved to her new forever home!

On April 28th I was contacted by a person I know that does horse rescue and asked if I would give a 2 yr old race bred filly a good home. I agreed and set out to find a way to get her here. I placed an ad on Uship to try to find a reasonable price on shipping her here. I received several bids and chose the one closest to my target price. It was easy to use the Uship site from placi ...

2 APBT males

I have to say that after using uship.com, I was extremely impressed. The communication was great and timely. I placed an ad and before I knew it, I had numerous bids. The pricing was great. As a breeder of the American Pitbull Terrier, I would highly recommend using uship to transport all my dogs over the United States. My dogs were well taken care of and always had the attention they deserved, be ...

Shipping by van to the West Coast

We just recently shipped a little female Scottish Terrier to the West Coast from Illinois. We had fallen in love with this little girl from the moment we layed our eyes on her. She was not being well taken care of and we new if could find away to get her to our home in California at a resonable cost we would do it. The uShip web site made our efforts seemless,cost-effective,and easy to understand ...

Great experience shipping my puppy!!!

We bought a puppy in California and need some way to ship the puppy to us. We found uShip and posted our shippment and within a day, we had two bids. For us to fly the puppy here it would have been $400 but with uShip we were able to find someone for $200. We found a very nice man that took very good care of the puppy and communicated with us very well.

Great expierience shipping my 3 Miniature Horses

I had a wonderful experience dealing with Uship as well as the Shipper!

Great 1st time experience!

This was such a great experience! We tried for weeks to try and figure out how to get a puppy (Christmas gift that needed to be returned) back to my sister in Florida. One google search later and I found U-ship! It was the best on line experience I have ever had! I have every faith that I will be doing this kind of work in the future for others!

Shipping our horse

We were looking for a responsible person or company to haul our horse from TN to CO. U-Ship provided us with 3 or 4 choices, with good feedback to help us make a decision. We were very pleased with the horse hauler we chose. He not only communicated very well, but also handled "tight situations" with expertise. He actually got our horse there earlier than promised. Our horse walked off the trai ...

2 cats

I needed to take my cats to my daughter in out of state and wasn't sure how I was going to do it easily. I found U Ship.com What a great idea! I submitted my request and a few weeks later my cats are happy in their new home. Thanks

very great experience shipping my dog

i perchased an adult female pit bull and was faced to either drive and pick her up or use air shipping, luckily i ran accrossed another uship customer on a message board and decided to check it out. At first i was alittle scared of using a ground shipper but i looke past that and went ahead and tried it out. It was sooo hassle free and the best experience in shipping that i had. Southpaw couriers ...

Caring driver got my cats to PA for $250, despite his van problems!

When my growing health problems caused me to consider moving from Florida to Pennsylvania, my major concern was how to get my 3 rescue cats there in way that would cause as little stress on them as possible. Moving is never fun or hassle-free for anyone, and the increasing costs of fuel coupled with the other hassles make it even less appealing. I could have cared less about my furniture, it was ...

Dog needed ship from Florida to NC.

I had a break up with my ex-girlfriend and she was going to keep the dog. Someone reported her saying that she wasn't taking care of him, humane society got involved and I told the Humane Society that I would get him. They said they would drop all issues if I did. (He wasn't miss treated)(Don't hate her). I got on line with todays gas prices and I found uship.com The site was very easy to navi ...

Great Horse haulers

this hauler,literally, did the snow, rain, hail and high winds to meet his time schedule provided to us, Cheryl, his partner and wife, kept us updated by phone calls regularly. All the way from Montana, through the tornado's and storms in Missouri, Illinois,Indiana on down to Kentucky, where we were again having terrible and dangerous storms. The hauler was always concerned about the schedule a ...

happy

great service

My horse had a happy and safe ride home.

I had my horse, Ky shipped from north carolina to me in Hahira, Ga. She was here right when Guy said she would be, and he took great care of her. I had peace of mind because Guy let me know where they were and when to expect her at all times. I could tell he was very honest and reliable. He also gave me a good price. I would definatley recommend Guy!

Great experience shipping my horse.

I had Keith at JandKFarms ship my mare Libby to me. When he arrived to pick her up she was very skinny, and he called to let us know. He did an excellent job at taking care of her, on the 1200+ mile trip to Minnesota. She arrived sound, and healthy despite her weight. Keith gave me great energy. I could just tell he was the best person to ship my Libby girl. I'm sure he'll be happy to know that sh ...

Wonderful experience shipping 2 9week old puppies.

At Easter, I arranged to get 2 pitbull puppies for myself and a buddy from my sister's neighbor in southern Illinois. I live north of Chicago but would be going back to visit for Memorial so thought I would pick up the puppies then. However, we miss calculated when the puppies would be ready to go. So now I had to find some way to get them from Harrisburg IL to Waukegan IL at the end of April. ...

3yr old mule shipped from KY to FL

I bought this mule online and did not know the area he was coming from at all. Living in FL it would have cost me alot more than Joe charged me to get him down here. As it worked out, thank the Lord that I did not try to get my rig there. It wouldn't have happened. This was my first time using U-ship and I will definately reccommend it to anyone looking to ship something.

Great experience shipping my horse.

Horse named Jake

We shipped our new horse, Jake from New Jersey to Savannah, Ga. We shipped him for the ovious reason, it was a long haul. The uShip site was very helpful and the people resonded very quick. I don't know how much I saved, but I know there were bids that were higher and lower with a $300.00 difference. Our service provider, Kyle with Pine Valley Acres was great, we had no problems he kept us up ...

Puppy Shipped

I needed to get a puppy to his new home. I used uship to find BullyHillbullies they did a great job for me and I could not have asked for anything better.

Mare to Montana

I really appreciated the attention and care that my horse got on her journey to her new home. Because I was local to the shipper, Keith met with me and my mare ahead of time, it helped to have the get to know you time. He took great care of her on the road and phoned me every day with an update on their journey. Mare arrived a bit bewildered, but in great condition.

First time uShip user

I heard about uShip from my Aunt who moved from the South to Oregon and had her things and her 3 pets shipped by a uShip service provider. She said it worked out wonderfully and saved her some money at the same time. I needed to get my 2 kittens to Oregon thought that sounded perfect but was a little nervous about sending them with someone I didn't know. But I did some looking around the site ...

Perian Kitten goes to Tallahasse!

My cats are my family and I love them dearly, but I had to send one of my kittens to my relatives in Tallahassee because 4 cats in one house is wayyyy to much! I kept mom, dad and the smallest baby because she needs lots of attention. My Marie had to go and I was very scared to send her alone, I even thought about driving her myself but work is heavy and I do not have much time. Airlines do not tr ...

Uship, very handy

I used Uship to send my dog to a trainer 400 miles away. I found Uship very handy in trying to ship my dog, it saved us from having to drive the 400 miles ourselves. My shipper did a great job. They drove through horrible weather and went the extra mile to be sure the job was done right. I would use Uship again.

Horses

I was on the hunt to find a hauler to ship two horses I purchased from Missouri needing to end up in Las Vegas, Nevada. I checked with a few haulers I had previously used and the quote came in at $2000.00 for both. I started searching the internet and saw the UShip website. I entered all the information and a I saved over $1000.00. What a savings! The hauler was a horsey person and well educa ...

Comfortable experience shipping our kitty

Ours is a tale of sadness. My daughter and her fiance had adoped two kittens into their lives. Tragically, he was in a fatal motorcycle accident late last summer. She had to move out of their rented townhouse and back in with us bringing the two cats with her. We already had two older cats. My husband is highly allergic to cats but could tolerate the older ones since they stayed in their own ...
