SHIPPING STAINED GLASS WINDOW

IT was all done in a timely prompt professional manner. No issues at either end of the process, pick-up and delivery both went flawlessly. My highest recommendations.

Great experience shipping my boss' framed picture

My boss asked me to have his framed picture shipped to his Florida home from our Boston office. He spent about $1000 to have it framed and I was very nervous using a new shipper and a bidding service that I never used before. Several bids came through and based on times, prices, etc. I found "TEDSVTFL" and through correspondence, trusted that all would go well with them. My picture was wrapped car ...

HEARLOOM CHINA

LUBEHEAD83 WAS REALLY TERRIFIC! HE LOADED MY CHINA IN THE BACK SEAT OF HIS TRUCK TO MAKE SURE IT WOULD ARRIVE SAFELY. HE UNDERSTOOD HOW IMPORTANT THE CHINA WAS TO ME. IT IS 60 YEARS OLD AND THE ONLY HEIRLOOM I HAVE TO PASS ALONG TO MY CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN. IT WAS MY MOTHER'S WEDDING CHINA AND SERVES 12 PEOPLE. THE ORIGINAL CHINA IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND THAT MAKES IT EVEN MORE PRECIOU ...

Great experience shipping my piano

My wife and I gave our beautiful Baldwin upright piano to our two young grandchildren. The only problem: the piano is EXTREMELY heavy, making it impossible to move it some 25 miles to my son's house. I needed professional help. So, first I tried checking with local movers, but they were either not interested in such a short, "small" move, or their costs were prohibitive. After two weeks of chas ...

Wonderful Piano Movers

Mary was great to deal with and kept up with events along the way during our recent piano move. Delivery once the truck got here was a snap and these guys were real pros. A joy watching someone work who knows what they are doing. Would definitely use again and recommend them to anyone anywhere wanting to move a prized piano.

RE: Pickup in Boise/Deliver to Portland

RE: "tglaser" ~ I bought 3 Indian Statues in Boise, Idaho and needed them delivered to me in Portland, Oregon. After I booked, "tglaser" arranged pickup day and time with the Seller. They arrived in Boise on time, and after they left the Seller's, the Seller immediately contacted me to let me know he was very impressed and the extra care "tglaser" took loading and packing the Indians. I then recei ...

Great experience shipping arcade game!

Rich and his team did a GREAT job getting my Dragon's Lair 2 cabinet from Michigan to California. I bought the game in late October with no real way of shipping it. Most of the prices I got were more than I paid for the item. Rich gave me a great price and great service. They were very careful with my machine and very professional and easy to work with. I would highly recommend them to anyone. ...

What a find!

I was faced with the prospect of renting a vehicle and making an 8 hour roundtrip to pick up valuable and delicate items. Before committing, I decided to check out shipping companies on line. In the course of the search I came across Uship. After checking it out, I decided it was legit and put my shipment up for bids. I was actually surprised to get real bids, most of which were ...

Four guitars from East to West

I was left four very nice guitars by my Uncle who passed away. They were in Pittsburgh, and my studio is in San Diego. I attended my Uncle's memorial, then got the guitars to Philadelphia. uShip found me the best deal, and within a week of my packing them up my guitars arrived safe and ready to play (and still in tune!). I'm happy to share these new instruments with my friends and family, and ...

Baby Grand Piano

UShip was a great way to move this piano. We had struggled with how to do it ourselves and then through an internet search found uship and tried it. Within a few days, we had several bids and made our selection. I really liked being able to track the truck although the tracking was not available between our pickup and delivery. All in all - we would use uship again.

Piano shipped well on the second take...

The first bid that I accepted did not work out. I never got the entire story, but a previously stellar mover had some significant trouble, and it ended up being a bit of a hassle for the company and for several of us who needed things moved. The second time I put my piano up for bid, the accepted bid was higher, but the mover was good at keeping me in the loop, and I got the piano on the first ...

William's Piano

The transition was awesome! These guy's are great, I would recommend their service's to anyone. Thanks again, I know who I'm going to call when I need them again!

Piano Moved

When my Grandmother passed away, her prized possession (a piano) was left to my aunt. Years later I had twin girls; one resembles my Grandmother and both LOVE the piano. My aunt wanted the girls to have "Granny's" piano. When the kids turned 5 I started thinking about how I would get a piano from CA to AZ. One night I googled "move piano from CA to AZ" and uShip was one of the hits. What an amaz ...

CueSportsWorld are the best!

I don't have enough good things to say about Brent and Kristy at CueSportsWorld. If you're moving a pool, snooker or billiard table, they should be your first choice. We bought a bar billiards table off of Craigslist in Boston. (It was a bargain, and there aren't many of them in the States to begin with.) Only problem - we're in Philadelphia. Which is where UShip came in. Not only was Brent/ ...

Excellent service

pianotek moved my upright STeinway piano to my daughter's house. They were very professional. They were very careful not to scratch the piano nor my hardwood floors.

DELIVERY OF HEAVY MARBLE TOP BAR

WE WERE IN DIRE NEED OF SOMEONE TO DELIVER A HEAVY (342 LBS.) MARBLE TOP BAR THAT WE PURCHASED FROM AMERICAN FURNITURE WAREHOUSE. DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS A DISCONTINUED ITEM AND WAS ON THE AFW FLOOR THEY COULD NOT DELIVER IT FOR US. THE BAR WAS VERY HEAVY AND VERY FRAGILE. WE PURCHASED THIS ITEM AS IT WAS AT A VERY DISCOUNTED PRICE…BUT HOW WE WOULD GET IT HOME OR UP OUR STEPS TO OUR SECOND ...

shipping my precious cello!

I wanted to take my prize cello from our summer home in Bellingham WA to lower Florida keys. Pretty scarey to ship a large musical instrument. FedEx was recommend,($600.93)too late to buy an airline seat ticket,(cannot use baggage!!Airlines have been known to crush cellos,basses and harps.) There are no string instrument repair places in the keys, so a safe ship was a must.Also wanted to have a s ...

Great exprience with our Baby Grand Piano

I want to thank Ryan from Carolina Piano Movers. He and his professional team (Kevin and Justin) did a super job moving our baby grand piano from Florida to our log home 3,000 miles away. Ryan (owner) kept me informed of the pickup time and the drivers schedule all along the way. There was no delays or angst for us. When the piano arrived, there were no dents, scratches or dings despite the trek u ...

Blind ship was excellent success!

I bought a pallet of video projectors in CA, and I live in WY. These folks did everything they said they would do. Neal is an excellent communicator and when I hung up the phone it was all in his hands. The truck arrived, picked up my poorly palletized bundle and delivered it as promised. The damage to my items was not the shippers fault it was the group whom I bought the product from. The sh ...

Piano moved to another city

First time using internet. Nervous, but it worked out fine. Saved 50% over local piano mover. would have helped to let us know that once a bid was accepted we would have direct contact. Instead, worried about details until after transaction completed. almost cancelled out of lack of experience and knowing there would be direct contact before shipment.

Glad I found this site

I needed to ship my harp, which is a daunting piece of cargo, because it is massive, heavy, awkwardly shaped and very fragile. I ultimately found an excellent shipper, at an appropriate price. While researching shippers, I learned that some of them ship puppies, and next time I adopt a dog, I will definitely use uShip.

Perfect Service for shipping my piano!

I took the offer that I could aford and it turned out that I made agood choice. I had excellent service at the best price! Thanks for your help! Terri Cunkle

Piano Move

Posted an Add late Friday night, had several bid's on Saturday - had closed the deal and the piano moved by Sunday Eve. The service was smooth and efficient - Will think of them again when the situation arises..

Piano move

I was extremely apprehensive using this service but it turned out to be easy and the movers extremely reliable. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Wicker Chair

Even though the address of the pick up was off kilter, and added many, many miles to Kris' pickup he was charming when he arrived and had no complaints. A terrific, honest, caring mover. You couldn't ask for better. Virginia

Moving a player piano

I did not know how I was going to move a heavy player piano from Louisiana to TX without it costing a fortune. So glad to find uShip and get the piano moved for a reasonable price by someone who was trustworthy and easy to work with. Ann

How I got my Hottub on with Uship

I had my hot tub moved and it was fantastic. Watch out though b/c Uship charges some pretty high match fees, otherwise a great exp

Tanning Bed Shipment

I have shipped dozen of tanning beds over the last 6 months. Most of them being horror stories. I talked to John this week and he finished the job in 2 days time from Florida to Indiana. Worked with me, loaded correctly and unloaded professionally. These beds weigh 700 pounds plus and are all plastic and glass. John did an unbelievable job ! Can't say enough. Thank you.

Great Experience with shipper

These guys are awesome. It was my first time using the service and they delivered as promised. I would definitely use them again.

piano

I won an auction on eBay - a unique piano. I purchased it and wanted it to be shipped to me intact. The uship gave me opportunity to find a shipper that I trusted and within my means. Thank you. This is my story.

My first uShip experience

We finally located the china hutch we had been looking for after searching for 5 years - one problem - it was in California and we were in Indiana. Thanks to uShip, we got several bids, viewed the various shippers' feedback and chose Rob with The Moving Company. We were still a little skeptical due to the glass shelves and doors, but decided to go for it - Well, Rob made us believers! He handle ...

Great service, communication and price!

No complains. They not only were the cheapest but also provided a great service. Excellent work! I am a satisfied customer.

very good experience shipping two large pieces of oak furniture with glass doors.

I had no idea how to get two pieces of furniture to my home location from 12 hours away. A friend told me he had shipped a waverunner across country at a good price by using Uship.com. I gave it a try and have been very pleased with the results. I could not have driven, picked up the pieces and back for the price paid thry Uship.com Very good deal.

Shipping the Piano went well

uShip provided an excellent format for doing something we had never done before--ship a piano from Pennsylvania to Virginia. We received a number of bids, one that was absurdly high and then a number of others that all were within the parameters we found reasonable. These bids were all lower than any we had found searching in other places. Carolina Piano Movers did an excellent job. The timing ...

great experience with U ship

I bought a 100 lb. aluminum carousel horse on ebay and contacted u ship as soon as the auction ended. BGS Delivery sent an offer that day, I accepted and they picked up my treasure the NEXT day. 4 days later I had my item delvered, set up and by an extremely nice and courteous man. Overall it was a GREAT experience. I HIGHLY recommend uship and especially BGSDelivery!!!!

Very good white glove service for my art.

The communication was good and the service was prompt. I required white glove service for very large and small wood and stone sculptures and they delivered it all in perfect condition. The cost of the shipping was very reasonable. I highly recommend this company.

Good experience shipping our piano

We found the bidding system a bit confusing at first, and when we first accepted a bid, it did not report to us that the bid had been sent. After we finally got connected with a shipper, all went well.

Shipped large Pizza Oven

The services provided exceeded all expectations,especially when I was very anxious to get this product for my new business adventure. Steve Metzger

Shipping of old film equipment

My father had lots of old film equipment; when he died, I did not want to throw them away and I could not find anyone who wanted to buy them. My sister had expressed an interest in them but she lives in Alaska. Finally, we agreed to ship them to her boyfriend's friend's home in Washington. I waited a month for the first Uship bidder - the day he was to pick them up, his trailer was in an accide ...

Great experience shipping my art prints

I was looking for a better alternative to FedEx and UPS for shipping large fine art prints on canvas, both of which are expensive and have size limitations. I went online and Googled "shipping" and found uShip, and decided to give it a try. Within a day I was surprised to receive a half dozen bids all from qualified small shippers, all at about half the cost of FedEx or UPS. I chose one experience ...

Good experience shipping my piano.

I was shocked at the level of service and timeliness I received from Denes at such an affordable price! Very nice. Thanks again.

Worked out great!

Great communication and shipment arrived quickly and in the same condition as it left... at a very reasonable price. Would not think twice about using Kevin and his wife again.

piano move

What a great concept! I saved $100 moving my piano w/uShip. I would never have found such an excellent moving company, otherwise! Thank you, again!

Seashell Mirror

Pottery Barn discontinued selling a mirror that my wife had asked me to get for her as a birthday gift. I found one left in the country in an outlet store in Georgia (I live in NY). The store would not ship it because they thought it would get destroyed by UPS plus it was no longer in its carton. I turned to Uship for help and the mirror is now hanging in my home. Great service!!! And 5 Stars ...

Antique Piano

The piano was given to my Dad by his mother, so it is very old and precious. Carolina Piano Movers has no contract or paperwork which was a shock to me. Ryan, was very cooperative; but, according to him, my request was very unusual. (I guess the rest of the world is much more trusting than I am.) I asked them to email me some information about their company, but all I got after a almost a ...

Shipped my 9x4 mirror

Damn they are good! Even tho' the freight elevator was too small, loading zone unavailable, and apartment on 9th floor the mirror was delivered as promised. I have only praise for this group whose complete service exceed my expectations. Don't miss out on a good thing!

500 lb piece of shop equipment

A top-heavy and cast iron piece of equipment needed to be moved from a narrow congested residential street and ground floor with limited access, and then delivered 3 states away. Shipper used smaller box truck given access limitations, and arranged for 4 men to handle loading. Machine had to remain upright and protected during transport. Pickup was on time, and shipper gave me a courtesy call j ...

Thanks

I found uship doing a search, and I was very happy with the service. I would definitely leverage it again.
