Shipping Price Estimator

The Shipping Pricing Estimator tool allows you to estimate the cost of shipping without listing your shipment in the marketplace, or, see if your latest bid is a good one by comparing it to what other uShippers paid. Shipping Price Estimates are an average of prices paid by other uShip members for comparable shipments. Comparable shipments are shipments in the same category that start and end near in the same zip codes.

Book it Now

Book it Now is a tool that all shippers can choose to use to ship items quickly for the best prices. If a shipper chooses to enable Book it Now they are naming a fixed price at which they will automatically accept the first bid from a qualified service provider. While all shipments can still be bid on in the traditional way, if a qualified service provider bids at the Book it Now price, the shipment will automatically be booked. Service providers must have a feedback rating of at least 10 with 90% or greater positive feedback to bid via this tool.

Ship it Now

The Ship it Now tool queries Transportation Service Providers' pricing databases to provide an instant bid, which you are free to accept (or not) any time. Once requested, these bids will be available to you while you wait to receive other bids from any of our feedback rated Service Providers. This is a great option for when you need your shipment transported right away.

Listing Upgrades

uShip offers two optional upgrades, Featured Listings and Urgent Listings, for members who list a shipment in the uShip marketplace. Upgrading your shipment to “urgent” or “featured” gives your shipment more visibility in the uShip marketplace, making it one of the first shipments Service Providers see. On average, featured listings get 49% more bids.

Bid Price Evaluator

The Bid Price Evaluator tool answers the question, "Is this the lowest priced bid I will receive?" by comparing each bid received to the price and number of bids on similar shipments. It allows shippers to know how the prices of their bids compare across the entire marketplace and also know the chances they have of getting lower priced bids.

Message Center

The uShip Message Center tool allows one to manage all uShip communications in one place. By giving you a personalized tool to manage uShip communications, important messages will not get mixed in or lost in your email account. From My uShip just click on My Messages - you can sort messages by type, date, viewed, and much more.

Phone Alerts

Phone Alerts are automated phone calls that let you know about uShip activity that requires your attention. uShip has partnered with Unwired Nation to bring uShip members this exciting new service. Now you can be notified via phone when a new bid has been placed on your shipment, including amount and expiration date, or when an answer to a question you asked about a bid has been posted.
