Thanks

A painless relocation of our boat.

We needed our 33' boat moved from FL. to SC and did not have a clue on who to use. I found uShip and tried it. It was so simple to get set up. Within 2 days of posting our shipment we had 4 quotes. The prices quoted from the shipping companies ran from very reasonable to excessive. The company we picked had a web site link on uShip that we looked at to determine if the shipper was reliable. With t ...

U-ship made it easy! Shiped my 28'0 boat from Ft. Myers to Georgian Bay Ontario. Great experiance!

I purchased a 28'0 fishing boat in Ft. Myers Florida for use in Georgian Bay Ontario Canada. I was to busy to fly to Ft. Myers and arrange all the details for getting it home. I went on the internet and came across U-ship. As I looked further into the role U-ship plays in connecting a shipper to a service provider and bidding for the shipment, it all made sence to me. The experience was easy, from ...

We used Ezrider to haul our boat and were really happy with Ezras service. He was professional and very accommodating to our schedule. Nice to see a young guy working hard too establish himself ! Ryan

Great experience

Boat and trailer was in bad condition and boat was full of trash and other nastiness which provider dealt with.

Uship Service

I was under the gun and found a shipper within 24 hours. Nice site!

Great job with my 35, 14,000 pound boat

I have been getting a Maxum 3200 express cruiser ready for usage on Lake Powell and needed to have it moved up to Page Arizona. I used uship to find a transportation company to move the boat. The driver was able to meet all of my requirements for my boat and time table. They did a great job moving the boat and were almost $800 less than other shipping companies that I had directly contacted. Th ...

boat

good experience, lots of bids, would use uship again.

Boat shipping

Buyed a Seadoo 200 Speedster in Bourne MA. Needed it to port Newark NJ for overseas shipping to Sweden. It was only possible to pickup the boat the same day as the cut-off date in the port. Everything worked out great even though i booked the transport two days before shippingdate. Great first time experience. Thanks to Nitro Trucking LLC.

Emergency Answered

Every one has been told many times about being in the right place at the right time.This carrier saved our boat from sinking and loosing a 900,000 Race Boat Thanks Dale..and the next rides on us anytime, Brian

Boat delivery.

My first time dealing with uship, I was fortunate to come across a great hauler. I'm sure there are many but I couldn't be more pleased with the care given to a boat delivered not to my home but to a friend's. I met the shipper there and without any excuses or problems, my boat arrived in excellent condition at the exact time promised. I would not hesitate to use uship again. Thanks, Robe ...

Express Hauling is fantastic

They did a great job and were very communicative during the process. As this was my first time to uShip, Ezpress Hauling and to the shipment of a boat it was a great experience. Delivered the boat on-time in perfect condition. Brand new truck and trailer and they very very helpful on delivery and preparing for off-load and launch. I would definetly recommend and use again.

28.5 ft Wellcraft boat

I found a company to transport my boat in less than 2 hours and the rate was excellent. Will do business on uship again!

I finally got my dream boat.

I found the boat I had always wanted but it was 350 miles away. I checked with several transporters and got prices and I was give up on buying my dream boat due to transportation costs. I was told by a friend to try Uship. I posted a listing and within a couple of hours I had several responses. Within 24 hrs I had excepted a bid and 50% less than anything I could find on my own. I ha ...

Good experience shipping my vehicle

Good Communication

Great experience shipping my boat

I was looking a shipping my boat within the USA and finally into Canada. I looked into uship and found the experince easy to use. I needed my boat to be shipped within the week and at a decent price. Larry leconnell2003ks (12) did an awesome job in delvering my boat on time and the destination with no problems and in good care. So overall my experience with uship is A+++++ and I would HIGHLY ...

Great experience shipping my boat!

I relocated to a different state and using uShip was able to move my boat in a short period of time. CWR did a great job loading and transporting the boat without a hitch. Very pleased with uShip and CWR Trans. Would certainly use again.

Lund 17' boat

I purchased a New Lund fishing boat that I found on the internet that was an excellent deal but it was located with a Dealer in the mid-West. I didn't have the time to go and get it so in another internet search I found USHIP. After posting an ad I received a number of replies and decided to go with Ship New England out of Maine due to their many positive feedbacks. My transaction with them we ...

Boat Shipment

We moved to a different state with little notice. We did not have time to coordinate shipment of the boat. Came across Uship and found the website very useful. We got a few bids and the site easily helped us determine which offer to accept. The service was great and the boat arrived a day earlier than planned. Thank you

Boat Delivery

I was Learya bout using U-Ship at first, but will never feel this way again. Matt, from Wovlerine Transport delivered my boat from Stratford Connecticut to Toronto. Kept me informed every step of the way. Totally hassle free. As a matter of fact, he treated me as though I was family, reassuring me ever step of the way. Incredible Patience, outstanding communications, bottom line he cared, a ...

Great Canadian Expeience on a Boat Shipment

We were shipping a boat from Central Falls, Rhode Island to Minot, North Dakota. We tried a few shipping sites, but Uship was by far the best. The shipper we used was SHIP NEW ENGLAND, and they represented Uship very professionally. We received daily emails on their 1950+ mile journey. We asked it to be shipped to the closest main centre from the boarder into Canada. They suggested bringing it ano ...

How Do We Get Our New Boat Home?!?

Our family decided that we had outgrown our old boat and it was time to go bigger. Our three daughters, now teenagers, need a lot more room for all of their belongings and Dad needs a bit more space away from them! Long story short, we found a great deal on eBay and in no time were flying down to Florida from Toronto in January to inspect and do the final dealing on our new boat. We stored the ...

24 ' Boat

Osborne moved my 24' Boat from California to Florida. We communicated well throughout the progress of the move. He has a nice transport trailer so my boat was safe from road hazards, throughout the 3000 mile trip. We will use Osborne again, next time we move large items.

Mastercraft x 45

Job well done.

Great job Larry!!

Larry did a great job, transporting my boat from Cape Coral Fl. to Edmonds, Wa. (3500) Miles. Called every day, and was on time!! Would hire again in a minute!! Thanks again Larry. Brian

A wonderful first experience with uShip

I decided to ship my 6 month old 2007 Yamaha AR 230 H.O. jet drive boat (Shark Racer) from our home in Miami Beach to Sag Harbor, New York. I went online and Googled "how to ship my boat" and in one of the first few links I found uShip. After shortly looking around the site, it was clear that besides the obvious reverse concept of eBay, I became quite jealous of whomever thought up the idea for th ...

260 Sea Ray Sundancer

We were coming to a deadline to have our boat launched in RI. We had the boat in NH, we went online to try to find a service that would ship our boat from NH to RI. It was very pricy and no one wanted to put their trailer into salt water. WE by some miracle found Uship. WE immediately felt at ease upon receipt of his email. He was extremely knowledgeable and flexible with his schedule to accom ...

uShip

I saved $3500.00 using uShip to find a bid for shipping my 18 foot Boston Whaler Dauntless form South Carolina to Washington State.Thanks for Helping. Good and easy experience.

key west center consul

I would have no problem using uship again, I saved money, being able to put my requirements in front of many hauliers, and selecting the best offer, which is not always the cheapest. The haulier that delivered my boat, did all that I asked, and more, and I could not be more satisfied.

a boat and trailer with a challenge

I had lined up a shipper through USHIP to pick up my boat (purchased from Ebay) from CA and deliver it to IL. The first shipper gave me a date 4 weeks after the sale. He eventually cancelled his bid and I had to find another in a hurry. I posted my request for new bids that evening, paid a little more for priority advertising and that's when Greg Marlow stepped in to help. I would have done this m ...

Awesome experience

We live up in NY and needed a boat shipped from Florida. After hearing horror stories from people about trying to ship a boat and after getting many ridiculously expensive quotes on shipping our boat, we were very discouraged. Finally, we receieved a very reasonable bid from these guys and our boat was in our driveway within three days of accepting the bid. Thank you for making this a very easy e ...

boat shipment

I never shipped a boat before, or anything else to that metter. I had to bring a boat from Knoxville, TN to New York. I thought it would be very difficult, but it was really easy. I mean, really. No brainer. The price was right, the service was good, web site was intuitive enough for me. What else can I tell you? I'll use it next time for sure without hesitation. Ilya Zak

Deck Boat

When I first found U-Ship I was leary about the trust issue, but I wanted to buy a boat 1000 miles away and this seemed like the best way to do everything. The first person that I had picked was a bad choice and I learned quickly to view the shippers feedback. This person had many cancellations and I should not have gone with them. I contacted U-Ship via email and the problem was quickly resolv ...

First UShip Experience

I must admit I was very skeptical having a complete stranger tow my boat accross the country. I was made to feel very comforatable from the start with the great communication from the driver. He called with the status throughout the trip and arrived exactly when he said he would. I had a great experience with UShip and would use the service again.

GREAT EXPERIENCE SHIPPING VEHICLE

PERFECTLY ON TIME AND CARING ABOUT THE DELIVERY.

Shipped a Boston Whaler from Florida to Newfoundland Canada

My story is short. I had a friend of a friend give me a price of $5000 who subsequently was unable to to the job. I was very anxious about finding another person. Some of the commercial quotes I received were as high as $6800. The I came across USHIP after an internet search. I listed my job and in 24 hours I had 20 bids (WOW). I chose one and had the boat delivered for $3900. I saved a $1100 Not ...

SHIPPED MY BOAT AND HAD A GREAT EXPERIENCE

I had contracted with a private party to move my 28 foot Sea Ray from Naples to Boston. The guy picked up the boat on a Thursday, he was to have picked it up on Monday, and called me Thursday night at 9:30pm telling me he was not going to be able to make it because he underestimated the distance and did not want to do it. He was going to be leaving the boat in Orlando and I could make arrangemen ...

a boat

shipped well thank you

GREAT JOB

Duane did a GREAT JOB. I have to admit. I was very concerned about handing my $21,000.00 boat over to a stranger. The complete trip was a little over 1800 miles one way. I spoke with Duane over the phone and when he showed up in person – all my concerns were gone. DUANE – YOU DID A GREAT JOB. THANKS AGAIN FOR PROVIDING SUCH A PROFESSIONAL SERVICE. Tom

This experience is an asset to free trade

I just purchased my biggest toy expense in my life ( 24.5 ft Eliminator Daytona Cat boat) from a person that I have never met ,paying for a boat that I have never touched or heard run, and trusting a small haul guy that I didn't know at all. I lost lots of sleep over the whole ordeal but it was all in vain. uShip introduced me to a man that I believe is a dying and rare breed of person. It is ...

Shipping boat with Yachtman is a great experience!

I was buying a boat up in Michigan for export to Europe, got a price on the marina to ship it to either Baltimore or New York for 5000$, I thought the price were a little bit stiff, so I searched the Internet for some options.. Found this U-ship site, and thought I'll give it a shot. I usually buy boats in Florida, and have my shipping company down there, so I put in the ad that I wanted trans ...

28' Carver Boat shipping experience

This shipper, EMI, was the best. I have used several shippers and have to rank them as the best so far. They communicated with me constantly letting me know the status. They did everything they said they would, when they said they would, and I could not be happier with the experience. I can highly recommend them to anyone needing a great professional shipper.

uShip = Shipping Made Easy and Affordable

Dennis and the Nitro team picked-up and delivered my Stingray 185LX from New Hampshire to Upstate NY the same day. These guys are total professionals and provided first class service at an incredible price. I would DEFINITELY use Nitro Trucking again, will recommend them to friends and family, and am thankful uShip got me in touch with them. Overall, an excellent experience all around.

Superb service from a trustworthy provider

A shipper bailed out on me due to insurance issues just a couple of days before my boat was to be picked up from the factory. Luckily Rob was able to accommodate my needs. Rob was not the lowest bid but he did have a very favorable rating history. Bottom-line is that Rob picked up and delivered my boat exactly as promised and without a scratch. Rob over-delivered on my expectations in every w ...

26 foot boat

Needed to get a boat from Virgina to southern California, used U-ship for the first time and was very nervous as what to expect, and wondering if we would find someone trustworthy with our nice boat, well we found Walker Transportation, and it was pretty much stress free from the start, Ryan was great in all areas, from calling us back right away to almost nightly calls as where he was and keep us ...

great experience shipping my boat

accepted dennis,s bid agreed shipment date great communication great guy exellent service will use again on next shipment uship is also a great service regards mark

Uship is Da Bomb Baby !!

I am so glad I stumbled across this site! I was a little aprehensive at first, but I learned a lot when fielding the bids. The transporter I chose was rock solid. My boat made it 2000 miles without so much as a bug stain! I saved a pile of money and made a good connection for future shipments. My advice to first time Ushippers, dont just take the cheapest bid, do your homework, make sure the pr ...

Great experience shipping my boat

I had a mover all set up who wouldn't call me back or return my emails for 3 weeks, so when I cancelled the shipment he was very unkind and slammed me pretty bad. I was really shook up and nervous about posting the boat again, but I'm really glad I did because these guys at Marine Services were absolutely wonderful!! They were very professional and kind and prompt. They did a great job shipping ou ...

Boat in Blizzard

We found our dream boat online, in Idaho. We live in Wisconsin. After finding a trustworthy dealership to look over the boat, we had to figure out how to get it shipped here. The first place we found was U Ship. It was easy to use, and we had immediate bids. We looked at driving out to Idaho to get the boat, and then we started receiving bids that were lower than we could have driven out to g ...

Boat delivery

My boat came to me in perfect condition. Well taken care of and he made sure everything was working on his trip. He was on time and has a great personality and I will not go to anyone else but Brad in the future. I'm from Iowa and he hauled a boat from Florida Give him a chance. He is priced fair and will not let you down. Thanks Brad for what you did for me. Dave
