Why uShip? Here Are Our Top 5 Reasons

Whether it’s a piano or a pig, a pallet or a patio set, shipping big stuff can feel confusing and intimidating. After all, for most of us, it’s not every day that we need to ship something larger than what typical parcel carriers can accept.

Finding and requesting rates from individual carriers is tedious and time-consuming. Booking through uShip, even first-time larger-than-parcel shippers can get competitive rates from dozens of transporters. Check out the five uShip benefits that make shipping through uShip the smartest, safest way to go for shipping big stuff.

When you’re ready to find a carrier, just create a listing with details about your item. Whether you’re shipping a piece of furniture, a car, or something a little more unusual, carriers experienced in transporting similar shipments will submit quotes to haul your item. You get to compare those rates to make sure you’re getting the right one for you, and look into each carrier to see what past customers have to say about them.
