My husband has played the piano since he was 5 years old, but has been without one for the last 15 years or so. My parents gave us part of our inheritance early, my great-grandfather's Knabe upright piano. I decided to have it shipped to our house for my husband's birthday surprise.
Not knowing where to start in the process of shipping a piano, I turned to Google. Google then led me to UShip. I placed a shipping bid on UShip and got 3 bids right away. And then someone chose my "bid now" price and all was settled. The piano was going to arrive and for $300 less than the companies I called quoted!
It took awhile to get the shipment arranged with the shipper. He needed to fill his truck, so unfortunately the piano was a day late. But, the surprise was still as powerful. My husband woke me up this morning playing "Moonlight Sonata" and experience I might never have had without UShip.
Hopefully we will be staying in our house for awhile, but if the time comes and we need to move, I will definitely use UShip again.
