I had boxes of personal belongings that I needed to get across the country for relocation purposes. A friend told me about uShip, so I decided to give it a try, having no idea how quickly I would be able to find any bidders, or how the transit time/cost might compare to UPS/USPS/rail shipping options. With only a couple days to decide what to do, Black Bear Ent. turned out to be an excellent option for me. While I can't do an exact apples-to-apples comparison of costs since different service providers factor weight and dimensions differently, I do believe, based on estimated weights and dimensions, I ended up saving at least a couple hundred dollars. But even beyond the cost savings, I was relieved and happy about the interaction I had with George and Ingrid/Black Bear Ent. and their services -- from the standpoint of peace-of-mind under a fairly stressful time of life transition and upheaval. They really ensured a professional, timely and well-handled delivery! For this, I will remain extremely grateful!! I would definitely use them again if I find myself in need of their services again. If I have other shipping needs which arise in the future, I would also be happy to use uShip again -- it's a great service for finding out what your options are...!
