My story is bittersweet. My grandmother can no longer live alone and we had to clean out her home of 45 years. In doing so, I knew I would love to take her heirloom piano and teach my young children to play, as she taught me. However I live over 800 miles away. Once we returned home and looked into piano moving services, we found them to be generally quite pricey for something like this. Howe ...

Hiring a mover is a scary thing, especially when you don’t know them or have a referral. Pace moving is very customer oriented and their communication throughout the process was as good as a consumer could hope for. Pace is first rate and I will use them again. They moved n organ and Piano from Maine to CT and not a scratch. Their workers were professional and gentlemen. A++++++++ thank you Pace

I shipped an antique upright piano from my folks house in TN to my house in OR. This is the piano I learned to play on as a little girl. I remember my Dad taking it all apart and refinishing it when I was little. It had been black and ugly. He found solid mahogany underneath. With my Mom failing (she was the one who played), they decided to get rid of the piano. I was very fortunate to find uShip ...

Stephen is a very experienced piano mover with whom we entrusted the move of our Steinway baby grand piano. He showed up on time and moved it with true piano-mover's expertise. We highly recommend Stephen if you want a safe move for your piano!

I was apprehensive about using U-Ship, not knowing what to expect from an all "on-line" service provider. My shipper placed an extremely low bid according to the shopping I had done. To my surprise, everything went VERY smoothly. I would definitely recommend this shipper and U-Ship to anyone who has something of value to move. Thanks for all your help and your great service!

Our family includes 2 young girls with a talent for playing piano. They had been using a small keyboard for years while we were seeking a piano we could afford. We prayed real hard that God would provide us with a piano and guess what? We recieved a donated piano from nothing less than a church. We justed needed to move it on our own. I searched high and low; even googled for all the shipping ...

After spending many hours calling piano movers listed in the yellow pages (who never called me back), I came across uShip online, and in minutes I had completed a listing, and I had three bids within just a few hours. One provider had several questions to ask and options to offer, and our communication through uShip worked great--no phone calls to miss or to return. The move was completed within ...

Move was exceptionally smooth

Shipped a piano from Atlanta to Cincinnati, Piano was moved with professional care, movers were friendly. Will recommend to anyone.

We had a great experience shipping using UShip. We have already placed another bid to move our large furniture to our new home. It is a great way to get a competitive price! The rating system is a reassurance that you selecting a qualified bidder. Thank you!

My mother offered to give me my childhood piano for her grandchildren to learn to love music with. We live in different cities, and all moving quotes I got from "traditional" sources were above $1,000. At those prices, I could have bought a new piano, but I really wanted to have the piano I grew up with for sentimental reasons. I remembered reading a blurb about uShip in a magazine, so I posted ...

the mountain man did a great job moving a family heirloom piano that had been in our family for over 30 years. He was right on time and did a great job with no extra charges.

Shipper did a wonderful job moving our piano across the state. They communicated very effectively and were on time and very nice. The move could not have gone better!!! WE would use them again!!

I bought this piano for my son when he was 6 yrs old and began piano lessons. 21 yrs have passed. He has graduated from college, and moved to many cities with his work. I have held on to his piano, waiting for him to have his own home. He bought his home in Oct 2007 and we have been trying to figure out how to get his piano home to him in a practical and affordable way. UShip came thru for us. ...

My mover did a wonderful job. He was professional, stayed in contact, and he treated my shipment (which happened to be a piano, but he will do any kind of shipment) very carefully. I would use him any time!

My wife told me she wanted her Aunt's piano that was bought for her Aunt by her Grandfather. Her Aunt wished for the piano to stay in the family. As a good husband I jumped. My wife is excellent. She asks for little. I'd like to think I provide well for her and our two babies. When my wife says she wants something, I jump... out of respect. As it was, I searched online to find a piano mov ...

I needed to have my wife's piano moved from NY as her uncle was tired of housing it. I didn't want to pay an arm and a leg to do so. uShip turned out to be the answer. I quickly got several bids within my price range and was able to compare feedback for providers to make sure they were on the up and up. Howard delivered my piano going out of his way when the schedule became somewhat problemati ...

Steve from AAA Piano Services is absolutely wonderful, and I highly recommend him to anyone needing to move a piano - he moved a baby grand for me. He was on-time and made the move fast. I especially liked that he is just a nice and pleasant guy. I wish everyone I do business with would make the experience as enjoyable. If you have the opportunity to use AAA Piano Services, you will be very ha ...

mr. soards moved my piano in a timely fashion and was very easy to work with. would highly recommend!

The first time I matched to ship my piano, I contacted the carrier to confirm credentials as mentioned on the uship website. His credentials were not valid and I was able to communicate with a previous shipper who had used him and was not happy. I immediately cancelled and uship was quick to refund my deposit. When I relisted, I made sure my second shipper had lots of positive feedback (100%) a ...

I bought back an antique piano that I had sold twenty years ago and had regretted for several years. I needed it moved from Las Vegas to Auburn, California. When I started looking at piano movers, I was getting quotes of $900-1200. Mountain Transport bid the job at half the cost and after reviewing their feedback, I chose them to do the job. The piano was picked up and delivered on the same da ...

Our baby grand had to go! It was blocking the wall where I could envision a cool wide screen TV and all the toys that come with it, and besides, neither my wife nor I play the piano. We needed to ship it to our daughter, whom we had bought it for, many years ago. Now, our daughter and that piano had given us years of pleasure, so it was important to get the right company for the move. UShip provid ...

These folks did a great job at the time, the price, and the excellence that they promised. They were also polite and pleasant. Easy to recommend. Found Uship by accident and was, as usual sceptical about anything you find by accident on the internet. But I actually received several quotes from sources that looked legitimate. And our eventual experience was vry positive. Thank you.

I had the oportunity to move my Grandfather's piano from my Niece's house, she did not have room for it, to my house or have it sold. We already had a piano that my housemate had promised to her son who lives in Washington. Neither piano had a great dollar value. But Just4u was able to pick up my Grandfather's piano in North Denver, bring it to our house in South Denver, and pick up our piano f ...

Terry (on the move) was great! They moved my huge antique upright piano, and made it look easy (as easy as lifting several hundred pounds can be). This was the first time the piano has been moved without any damage, not even a scratch. Plus, the price was less than half of what I was quoted by several professional piano movers. I hope they stay in business for a long time, because I will definitel ...

Today I was thrilled to see a piano I purchased just last week delivered by a mover I found on uShip! Late last week I optimistically submitted request for bids to move the beautiful, 30-year-old piano I had purchased 85 miles from the town I bought it in to my home on the coast. After receiving a few different bids I settled on Big John's Moving, a moving company from right here in my state, b ...

I shipped my mother's piano from my nephew's home in southern New Hampshire to Northern California. I was surprised to find a mover located in that area so quickly. Before I could supply them with the street number of the house, they had already been in touch with my brother who met them and got it loaded on a Sunday morning. It arrived the following Friday! Wow!

My daughter,a college music major in Pennsylvania, was in need of a practice piano. Her late Grandmother's piano was in Arizona. Because she is her Grandmother's namesake, the piano has great sentimental value. We started collecting online estimates and found our shipper at U-ship. "Stickman" offered us the best price by far - nearly half of some of the other quotes we received! Most importantly, ...

Well, after about 20 different quotes, I came across this site and after signing up, received a bid from "Movers Unlimited" and didn't hesitate to take their offer (it was less then 50% the cost of the other carriers). Other carriers wanted to charge me the cost of the piano! I understood ahead of time that it would be delivered at the convenience of the carrier and I was ok with that. The pian ...

I bought a second-hand piano from a private party. How to move the piano home is a fresh challenge for me. I ran into uship web through google, I think. Then I posted my moving request and waited to see other people bidding. 1)Bidding Phase: All the bids are with difference of $5 or $10. It is hard for me to decide which one. But this service provider, RHINONUTT, gave a much lower price. Late ...

Steve's truck got held up in a nasty storm in CT, so he was delayed by a day. HOWEVER, once his boys got on the road, he had his truck here exactly when he said he would. This a a very good shipper. USE HIM! He was responsive, informative and professional.

Easy transaction. Great communication on movers' end. Piano arrived in great condition. GREAT, GREAT, UNBEATABLE price! Thanks, Uship!

EmpirePianoMovers picked up and delivered my piano without a single hitch. I couldn't believe how professional Steve and his partner were on both ends of the job. He truly is a professional piano mover. I will use his company (EmpirePianoMovers) again if ever needed in the future.

I never would of thought that a system like this would work so well. It was great getting questions and comments from professionals, many of which I never would have thought of on my own. This has been a very rewarding experience, and I will not hesitate to recommend this to others or to use this service again. Great site, easy to navigate, and FUN! Way to go!

GentleKnD was my service provider. His team did a wonderful job shipping moving my piano. Great experience!

Mountaintransport did an excellent job moving our upright piano from the SF area to the LA area. They were flexible with pickup and delivery schedules and right on time. Moving a paino was no problem for them. Thanks.

The right bid came in at an excellent price and MEBS transport did an all around good job moving our piano.

We just had our piano shipped from Southern California to Northern CA yesterday by Mountain Transport. Although I did not have an extreme timeline to deliver the piano, I was very pleased with how fast and easy it was to ship through uShip. From start to finish, the whole process took about two weeks, with little effort on my part. I really like the bidding process and feedback process. This helpe ...

Wanted to send my children some family furniture but had high estimates of $1,300 from local movers for player piano and dresser/mirror. Jeff and Linda at A1moversBekins were en-route from Buffalo to New Jersey, Atlanta and Florida. They accepted id Friday night, picked up Sat morning and arrived in Macon on Tuesday morning. Great people... can't go worng if they are your movers. Almost like f ...

Marc did an excellent job at bringing my piano out from California to Kansas without any delays or unforseen problems. He kept me updated and always informed of his trip. Absolutely NO compliants and would use this service again! Also, the price was fantastic and non "greedy." As much of a love-hate relationship that I had 25+ years ago in practicing said piano,not to mention the reoccuring nigh ...

My great grandchildren expressed an interest in learning to play the piano, but they had no piano and buying one was not in the family budget. A 90 year old friend learned of this and offered his piano. The problem was that the piano was in Chestertown, Maryland and the great grands are in Newport News, Virginia. The piano in question is a beautiful instrument, in excellent condition and a ...

I had a great experience with Uship. My mother-in-law gave us their piano, so I needed to ship it cross country. I also needed it out of her house in three days because she needed her house empty for renovations. Uship was the only place where I found a shipper to come and pick it up two days after i placed my order. The shipper, Legal Transportation was very good in wrapping up the piano and ...

My shipper was Zooman33 and he was just great. I had enlisted his services to ship the piano that once belonged to my late grandmother to my house as it is my fondest memory of her. He gave me the best price and his level of professionalism and politeness made this shipment extremely stress free for such a fragile item. I was slightly reluctant to use this website as I only found it by a Google ...

I really enjoyed Uship and the shipper I did business with. My brother in California gave me the piano for my grandchildren to learn, so all I needed to do was ship it to Las Vegas. Steve worked with me on the price, and was so personable on the phone. I'm really glad I used this shipper and would not hesitate to use him again. He picked up earlier to accomodate my brother's schedule , therefo ...

My Steinway is a family heirloom, I was very nervous about having a stranger move it from one state to another! After meeting Michael of Mountain Transport, my worries were gone. Removing my baby grand was very unique and I had other people come and say it was too much for them, Michael didn't bat an eye and removed it without a hitch! Though I wasn't looking for the cheapest price, I was m ...

I live in the UK and had to organize the transport of some sentimental large items (piano and motorcycle) from my father's house after he died very suddenly following a stroke. Albert and company from Escobedo Transport Service, LLC were able to transport these items with very short notice from north of LA to San Diego, at an extremely reasonable price. This was comforting considering the distres ...

I lost my mother march of this year. I have always wanted their piano but we live 2 hours away in Illinois. No one was willing to help me get it here so I decided to give up the idea of ever getting the piano until I found uship, Mark Hippert and a great quote I could live with. They did such a great job, quick and with great care. Thanks

We moved a piano across NY state with uship for less than half of the price of a standard piano mover. This site is awesome.

I inherited a 100 year old piano but had to get it from Va. to SC. I used U ship mainly to see what it would cost, what kinds of bids I'd get, etc. Adamantine Spine seemed to really know what they were doing. They had a very good rating. I was nervous, but the shipment went great. They kept in touch with me and delivered on time. I didn't get to be there when the piano arrived, but my husban ...

My wife was a piano major in college, so ever since we were married and moved to Southern California last year we've been looking for a piano. A few weeks ago, my grandmother who lives in Northern California offered us her baby grand piano. We were thrilled. We have a Jeep Grand Charokee, so our first though was that we'd drive up, rent a uhaul, and get a local piano mover up there to load u ...
