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 job will automatically match. 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.
eBay Shipping Center
The eBay Shipping Center lets your track your eBay auctions and access uShip shipping tools and information all in one place. The eBay Shipping Center makes it easy for buyers to track the status of auction items, get instant Shipping Price Estimates for eBay items, and list eBay auction items for shipment in the uShip marketplace with single click.

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.
Online Now 
The Online Now tool aids communication in the uShip marketplace by allowing uShip members to see which other members are currently on uShip and ready to respond to Bid Requests, Questions, etc. Look for the Online Now icon next to UserIDs, and connect with the most active uShippers for fast service due to less downtime in connecting.

TerraPass Green Provider Program 
TerraPass-certified Green providers commit to balancing the global warming emissions from shipping your items by funding clean energy and efficiency projects that actually reduce carbon dioxide emissions. These transportation service providers still use trucks to move your boat or piano, but they also help fund, for example, a new wind farm in the Midwest that replaces energy from coal with clean power. By funding a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions that is directly proportional to the emissions created from their trucks, these providers balance out their contribution to global warming.
