Great experience shipping our chandelier!

We purchased a vintage chandelier that is very fragile and a delicate shipping method was needed. We utilized uship.com to receive bids for this shipment and were pleasantly surprised when we were connected with Twofarout who agreed to ship our item at an incredible price. We set the shipment up and before we knew it, Ron was reaching out to us a day early to let us know that he would be arrivin ...

UShip Experience was G-R-E-A-T!

I had planned on driving my car 2600 miles round trip, which would have meant two hotel stays, excess miles on my car, and who knows how much spent on gasoline and expenses. My neighbor told me about UShip and I decided to check it out. I had heard horror stories about "private shippers" who end up absconding with the person's household goods, but with all of the feedback and ratings of shippers, ...

Randy (and his son) did an excellent job.

Randy was very professional. He contacted us when he said he would, arrived on time for the scheduled pickup, and handled our items with care. When he arrived at the delivery destination, he was accommodating and once again professional and helpful when unloading the large item(s) I had shipped. I would use his services again!! Thanks, Randy.

Perfect solution for shipping an antique cabinet

I had found a Maple Corner cabinet that matches my grandmother's set listed on Craig's list in New Hampshire. I had no idea how I would get the purchase to my home in Rochester, NY as my vehicle is small, I didn't have help, and the owner's shipping costs were very high. Uship provided an excellent opportunity for me to check shipper's feedback and select someone I had confidence in, at a reason ...

Storage Boxes to be shipped from Pompano to Tallahassee

This was my first experience with uShip, and the experience was mixed. I orginally was booked with Move-It International, and it turned out to be a very bad experience. There was a delay on my end in the beginning since it took awhile for the pick up location to have the storage boxes ready for shipment. Instead of canceling the contract Move-It International assured me they would be able to st ...

Excellent machinery move...

I shipped a pretty pricey lathe with James rather than my usual common carriers. Had a great experience. I was just tired of the extras that they tag on when dealing with the military. The lathe was well taken care of, and moved for a realistic price. I would strongly recommend this company !

Pedicab takes a 1200+ Mile Trip Safe and Sound

An eBay auction featured a unique Lightfoot Pedicab that was very interesting to me. But it was 9'long, 4' wide and over 6' tall fully assembled. So how could I get it from Montana to Southern California? Uship to the rescue. Other options were not economical but uShip provided the perfect forum for connecting with alternative carriers. One shipper, Enchantd, bid on the shipment, tying pick ...

Awesome shipping my bird cage

Was needing a 5ft long 4 ft wide 50 lb bird cage in a box shipped from AR to TX. He bid and after working out the details we booked. He picked it up on a Wednesday evening and Delivered in TX next day. We are very pleased. Very friendly, polite guy. Easy to work with as well. Any other shipments I need made I would go through him again. Will be highly recommending him to others. People on ...

moving our van seats.thank you

We moved out of state and had to leave our van seats back in Ill. No one was willing to take them to Fla. So we hired U ship. good experiance.

Great experience!

I recommend inxpensive to everyone! Best experience I ever had in my life. Prompt pickup unbelievable service and a great price to boot. Thank you so much Orlando I will definitely call you again!

No reason to go elsewhere

I found a steal on ebay, problem was the item was heavy, delicate and (originally) expensive. The seller recommended a company she had used in the past and figured I was looking at around $1000 - $1500 to ship the item. I took a look at uship and figured I would rather have companies bid on my shipment instead. What a novel concept! I found a company who was willing to do it for $400 and I cann ...

Aerator

Bought a used aerator from out West. Transit time was what I was told it would be. Cannot ask for anything else.

Timing was critical and they sure came through!

My son is moving to Texas and we needed his furniture moved out of his condo to a cousin's house in Miami area as close to his departure date as possible. Price was a definite concern. Knowing that a small shipment like ours would have to be combined with other shipments to make the trip cost effective for a mover, we knew we were going to have to be flexible on our timing but were very concerned ...

Table and chairs, antique

My son wanted the furniture but I was fearful of the cost of shipping through regular channels. I was delighted that I was able to find someone willing to take the antiques very reasonably and who provided very careful packing.

WALK BEHIND AERATOR SHIPPED

Purchased an aerator sight unseen in Pittsburgh Pa, for use in my lawn care business. I wasn't quite sure of how to get it to my place in Columbus Oh. Didn't really want to drive a roundtrip, so Uship made it incredibly easy to get it delivered for less than I would have paid in gas, not to mention my time of about 6 hours saved. Shipper was very timely and professional, to top it all off. Th ...

Saved a lot

When I contacted the local shipper for my round pen (recommended by the seller) they wanted $1100 to ship it, UShip cost under $500. Great Savings!

GREAT EXPERIENCE- 1ST TIME USING U SHIP

After balking on shipping my goods via Fed ex and UPS due to very high pricing; I looked up "shipping" on Google and came accross USHIP. It looked interesting so I listed my shipment in just a few minutes. Within two days I had two bids on my shipment and by the 6 day my package was picked up and on it way to NJ from Florida. My shipment arrived in the scheduled time and everything was in tact. ...

East to work with.

Jeff did 2 moves for us. We moved a huge bulky candy cart from the Union into the mall and another huge candy cart out of that mall and into another mall in Salina. He went above and beyond. When he realized the second cart wouldn't fit on his truck he sent a buddy to get his trailer and moved it. When he needed an extra ramp due to the size of the cart he went and got one. Any other company ...

Highly recommended

I was shipping 3 household items to my daughter who is moving into an unfurnished apartment. Regular movers were much too expensive considering the value of the items. uShip gave me a way to get my daughter her furniture at a cost that was less than what it would have taken to replace the items. I believe all of us involved--my daughter, the service provider, and I--benefited from the arrangement. ...

PIANO MOVING

I very much wanted to send a piano to my two grandaughters who live near Boston. Everything I had looked into was much too expensive. The piano had belonged to my mother who passed away recently, so the idea of these beautiful kids, ages 8 and 6, getting their great grandmother's piano was much on my heart. In an earlier part of this review I expressed how great the service of The Movers ...

Shipping my atv!!

As a newcommer to Ebay and Uship I had my doubts. I recieved a few high bids which made me think I was loosing everything I saved by shopping online and along came peachie8160! She delivered my atv for a more than fair price, in a timely manner. 1300 miles and no problems. I will definitley be back in the future. THANKS AGAIN!!!!

Great Service-Would Use Again

I was shopping a giant kingsize headboard that I found on craigslist in Delaware (I live near DC). The driver contacted the seller, picked up and delivered without me dong a thing except helping unload. He informed me of the condition of headboard, kept me informed of his whereabouts and route on his way back and carefully wrapped and unwrapped the object for me. And it was incredibly reason in pr ...

Denver to Seattle

Part of the decision to buy my Piaggio MP3 was...can I afford the shipping? Bids ranged from $1200 to under $500. I would have never known who to call for such a range of bids. I am completely satisfied with the uship experience. Thanks for providing such a great and needed service! Jeff, Seattle

GREAT EXP.

WELL IT WAS GREAT EXPIERIENCE HE HELPED ME WITH A VARIOUS PROBLEMS KEPT IN CONSTANT CONTACT PUNCTUAL. MY SHIPMENT WAS NOT WHAT I ORDERED WHICH WAS NOT THE BURGESS FREIGHT'S CO. FAULT HE GAVE USEFULL INFORMATION SO THAT I CAN TAKE ACTION.AND TO ME GAVE ME SOME RE ASSURANCE AND SOME KIND OF PEACE OF MIND.

dining room chairs

Like finding money in the street, I was able to stumble upon a set of 8 very high end dining room table chairs. I needed to have them shipped but didn't want to pay the high end price. I casted a quote and within 10 min. received not only a successful bid, but a carrier with over 175 positive feedback rating. The chairs came within 2 business days, carefully wrapped and placed within their truc ...

Great experience using my classmates' creation

Kudos Matt, Jay, and Mickey from a fellow Longhorn! Jodi and I just used uShip to transport a dining room set from Atlanta to our home in NJ (we "won" it because Jodi was the first of my in-laws' kids to get married) and couldn't be happier with how it worked out. Bevo would be proud. Overall, we saved about $4,200 from the estimate from a direct mover vs. uShip. Hook 'Em!

Awesome first time experience!

It took me a little bit of time to find the right bidder but I am glad I was not in a hurry. This shipper made every effort to box up and haul my items to California. My items were left in storage on short notice when I moved from TN to CA. I will keep uShip in mind for every large item I find for sale on eBay. Thanks!

Grandfather's Pool Table

My uncle in Denver had a pool table that I used to play on with my grandfather. Since his kids are now older, I asked my uncle if I could have the table to share with my kids. He was very happy to pass it on to me; the only problem was how to move it from Denver to New Jersey. I called one of the major mailing services and got an astronomical quote, but then the representative told me about ushi ...

Mother's items

I live in FL and my mother lived in MI. She had passed away and I packed up a few boxes of things that I wanted along with a marble table, mirror and jewelry armoir. Friends said not to worry that they would get me her things as someone is always going to FL. Two years later they were still boxed and ready to go when a friend of mine suggested uShip. My sister in MI helped with the loading and ...

Great Experience Shipping Dining Chairs

This was my first time using Uship. I had called around to other shipping companies and got astronomical rates to ship my chairs for me that i had purchased out of state on craigslist.com. One of the companies told me about Uship, and although having my doubts about the service, i took a chance and tried it. I got so many rates to pick from and the rate I ended up getting was a small fraction of w ...

First time shipping with uShip to transport a TV!

I came across uShip while I was searching on Google for a form of cheap LCD TV shipping. It was one of the sponsored links, I remember, and I clicked it, looked at the home page, and gave it a try. To tell you the truth, I wasn't expecting it to turn out this great. So I listed my item, and waited overnight. Then Mike asked a question about my listing, if he could pick it up that Sunday and drop i ...

Fifth use

I recently fell in love with a unique device called a Carillon, which duplicates the sound of bells to be broadcast mostly from Church Steeples or roof tops. They weigh about 100 lbs. and have a footprint of around 2'x 2'. This would be very expensive to move across the country by a "regular moving company" because of packaging & protection when the necessary action is to just tie it up to the sid ...

Quilt chest

Uship was so easy to use. I build hand made custom furniture for people all over the country. It's always hard to find a shipper who will take proper care of my products. I listed on uship and had a carrier at the price I needed within the day. It was much easier than calling around to see who went where and for how much.

Texas to North Carolina

I had planed to move 12,000lbs of house hold goods myself but I found UShip and I was able to hire a company to move my goods for a few hundred dollars more than it would have cost me to rent the trucks and buy gas.

Great experience

Had bought a tractor on an auction that had been repossessed by a finance company. Had planned on going to pick it up and visit family on the way, but we are farmers and the time got away from us. So we listed it with uship. Liked 2 of the bids we received, communicated with the 2 individuals, then picked one and my tractor was here by the end of the week. Delivered by a very nice couple!

shipping 2 pieces of my grandmother's furniture

hi, i was nearing the end of my rope, having a small shipment of items (very small, 2 pieces of furniture) and receiving either very expensive quotes or more reasonable quotes that needed a lot of prep and a drop off. My Mom was in the middle of a huge move and couldn't do the prep or drop off, so so, what to do. it all worked out as i received a bid on this site, they picked up and dropped off my ...

My Concrete Foutain made it here!!!!!

Well, what started out as a simple ebay purchase, took much longer than expected to arrive; none of which was the fault of the shipper! I bid on a concrete fountain, that said "free shipping"(on ebay), but because the seller was brand new to ebay (his 1st listing), he made a mistake-and did not want to include free shipping. So, it was up to me to find a way to get a 600 lb. 3 tier (solid concrete ...

Ease and convenience at a good price

This is our first time using uShip. We had a bunch of diverse items to ship, including fragile china, framed pictures, books, tools, furniture, mattress and a massage chair. These were all personal goods retrieved from our parents' basement, and we didn't have a big budget. Once everything was packed and measured, the uShip listing process was easy. Compared to a couple of moving company quote ...

LOBSTER TANKS FROM NT TO MAINE

IM A SHIPPER FOR U-SHIP. SOMTIMES I DONT WANT TO DO JOB THAT ARE TOO FAR AWAY. I TOOK A BID FROM CHIEF-DAVE AND THET CAME PROMPLY AND DELIVERED MY TANKS WHITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS SAME DAY. 9 HOURS AWAY!! ALL IS WELL.......

Moving 2 mattresses

Retailer wanted to charge me a lot more for delivery than the shippers on uship. uship has allowed me to buy and sell larger items over the internet. Great system, to have shippers bidding against each other.

uShip is an absolutely fantastic way to ship a scooter

I got my scooter from Utah to California quickly, convenience, and, most of all, cheaply! Thanks uShip!

Great professional shipping experience

I needed to ship a (heavy) desk from Illinois to PA and Ed is the man that could deliver on this. Punctual, great communication and reasonably priced. Recommeded!!1

I *LOVE* uShip!

Talk about Heaven on Earth. With U-ship I was able to arrange to have my small household with some unusual items (700cc motorcycle, porch swing, firepit, WOODPILE!) shipped 1800 miles from Minneapolis, MN to Portland, OR within just a few days, for $650-$1000 less than any of my other non-uShip options. (And the next cheapest option was doing it myself -- including gas & 3 motel nights & an awful, ...

Simple & excellent shipping on my giant carrot!

I saw a unique 6 ft. carrot dresser (yes, a giant fiberglass and wood carrot) on Ebay at an amazing price...the only problem was that the dresser was in NY & I live in TX and the seller stated quite clearly that this auction was for local pickup only...no shipping. I was willing to travel to NY myself, but knew there had to be another way. After "googling" shipping furniture quote, I discovere ...

Great Experience shipping my bed and stuff

Originally only shipping my queen bed for my somewhat short notice move. Declined the company that I actually used. They inquired why I had declined and what I considered paying for the service. I replied with my thoughts and added that I also had two other items that I might want shipped, if maybe he would bundle them. He said he could and gave me a great rate for them. My experience with them a ...

40 foot cargo container delivered as promised

On my star ratings I only gave "Door 2 Door" 4 stars for being on time, but that was actually not his fault. The company who had my container did not provide us with a release number soon enough. He was ready and waiting and extremely flexible. He delivered to a hard to find location off of back highways and most importantly, he was in contact with me throughout the process. He was polite and ...

Great shipping experience for my furniture

I was referred to Uship by the custom furniture maker in California. I was amazed at how nice that worked. Put my request in, and had a bid from lapackpros in about an hour. Hesitated a little to see if I wanted to rent a truck and power drive with my brother, but after calculating fuel costs, it just didn't make sense. Shortly after I accepted the bid, I believe the truck was on the r ...

Fast, competent and cost effective

With busy travel commitments I was able to arrange shipping while on the move in Vietnam and was completed across the Inland North West by the time I returned home. While One quote came in at over 5 times the accepted bid! my owner operator shipper was able to collect my shipment even though the vendor had passed away! and was able to explain/convince others at the collection point that the item w ...

Just in Time Delivery

Tim Miller and his movers pulled all the stops to make sure that my mattress got delivered to my Mom by the time we needed it there. In fact, we traveled from across the country (from VA to IA) and Tim was just delivering the mattress to my Mom when we pulled into her driveway. Amazing! Thanks Tim
