I move families and their pets thru the US & Canada. I have PARS labels for Canada & a SCAC code for the US. I wrap furniture and large items with blankets and take special care on how I place each inside the truck for the long trip. I pack tight so things don't shake and because I charge by volume it helps you, my customer. I am now an LLC in WA with a tax, DOT and MC numbers. I like driving far, meeting & helping people. Cuca, my Aussie mutt is well behaved, & great with other animals. She has her shots, & license. I am a native Spanish speaker raised in Spain & a U.S. citizen since 1981. I can't take checks. I rent 24-26ft Budget & Penske trucks, 4 wheel car trailers. I have a Dodge Grand Caravan AWD, 3.8 liter, AC, PA, with a 2" ball & 3,500 lbs pull capacity. Dark windows keep the interior cool for pets. Behind the seats, fits a flat 4’x8’ sheet; 10 ft long & thin fits between the seats if needed & the roof rack for things under 100#

Rating: Positive Left by: anglesio (1) On: 8/15/2007 For: 2 Bedroom Apartment Read Story	No Detailed Feedback Available	Did an excellent job. Personal service, very flexible, highly recommended. Please use me as a reference for future clients. Response from jdempere: Mr. Anglesio was my first accepted bid and newly wed. Knowing that I had no experience he was very concerned and demanding at first in his quest to have their things arrive in perfect condition at Swarthmore. I sweated drafting a professional contract and invoices for his approval. It was great to meet them and find them so warm and happy. I am very taken by your feedback. Thank you. I wish you great personal happiness and also success in your professional life. Jackie
Rating: Positive Left by: 061457 (0) On: 8/14/2007 For: 2 Bedroom House	No Detailed Feedback Available	Jackie was most helpful before the move, and did her best to stay in contact during the long 4 day drive accross Canada. She is very knowledgeable about how to load goods into a moving truck. Shipment was delivered in a timely matter and minor damages were compensated fairly. I highly recommend Jackie as a mover for anyone for short or long distance moving. Response from jdempere: Shirley was very brave to accept my bid being new and without feedback. I was going far into Canada with “her babies” an antique custom made canoe, expensive kayaks and lots of special books. I was surprised with a total blackout of my cell & no Internet cafés about. I was able to tell her my whereabouts thru payphones at least. I am grateful for your trust in me and wish you the very best.
Rating: Positive Left by: notsam (0) On: 8/14/2007 For: Shipping 8 boxes, approx home	No Detailed Feedback Available	I am glad I found Far and Wide Moving LLC on U-Ship. They offer great customer service and are very professional. Jackie was extremely helpful with my move making sure I had all the proper documents and kept me updated on the status of my shipment every step of the way. Far and wide Moving made my move across country an easy one. I would definitely use their service again Response from jdempere: This was my first personal encounter with a shipper. I was excited and a little nervous wanting to be and look professional. Teesha waited with a bottle of cider to celebrate the occasion and soon added a 2 litter of red when she learned I was a Spaniard. It felt great to have your support. Thanks again!
Rating: Positive Left by: jlparker928 (0) On: 8/12/2007 For: 1 Bedroom Condo	No Detailed Feedback Available	Positive Feedback: Shipment delivered in acceptable condition. (Some damage to dresser) Provider was willing to try and work within our time constraints. Neutral Feedback: Provider had difficulty with directions. Pick-up and delivery times were later than planned, but within 24 hour period. Some communication difficulties prior to shipping. Response from jdempere: Mrs. Parker gave me great advice from her view as a shipper. Her add run a month. I was the only bidder/offer for her low price. I never saw the dresser. I would have padded it with blankets. My bid was for them packing, loading/unloading. Hers was the last load, the truck was full & things tied up. I can not see how it got gauged. My mistake was to give fixed pick up dates forcing me to drop bids & drive empty to be in time. The map quest directions I carried were not the loading area wanted.
Rating: Cancellation Left by: jledbeter (0) On: 8/3/2007 For: 1 Bedroom House	No Detailed Feedback Available	I am unable to reach this Service Provider after a reasonable time period I have been trying to reach my service provider and cannot get it touch. I have to move tomorrow and cannot wait. I would like a refund of the deposit I paid to uship. Thank you, Janelle Response from jdempere: When Ms. Ledbeter accepted my bid, I told her that I was leaving for NY to move a family to Canada (my bid stated this) & that her loading date would be 8/1. She called me on 7/25 to ask me if I needed anything from her, that she had put a deposit on Uship. I told her that she still had to send me a deposit but not to worry because I did not have time to prepare a contract but will be thre on 8/1. I had no reception for my cell phone in Canada (I will now). Upon arriving home on 7/31, I called h

Response from jdempere: This was my first accepted bid and I felt very bad that I could not do it. I read the information wrong. The speakers were going to California from Oregon, I was in Nevada driving to Washington state.
