Houston to Twin Bridges Montana

First of all I am pleased that a marketplace like this exist to provide a small hauler a chance to compete with the big shippers. I needed to ship two full 55 gallon barrels of liquid weighing 510 lbs. each from Spring Texas to Twin Bridges Montana. I checked with all the standard big dogs and got outrageous quotes that were all above a thousand dollars. I couldn't begin to afford that so I deci ...

Uship.com

What a great website. I can't begin to tell you how much searching, quoting, pleading I had to do to get a decent rate to ship my product. Then I stumbled upon your site and within minutes I had people on a bidding war to ship my load at the best possible rate. My product was shipped and arrive in great condition. Very smart service you guys are providing here. Jessy

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 my grain auger.

I bought a 50 foot grain auger, sight-unseen, in MO. I thought I had it arranged as to how it was going to get here to my place (in Texas), but that deal fell through, and I did not know what to do. A friend recommended U Ship, so I gave it a try. I am very satisfied. The auger got to my farm in good condition. The U Ship format is a good one, in that people are competing/bidding for my busin ...

GREAT JOB WELL DONE

Thanks for guys like You to work with people like myself . They handled my item with extreme care ...

Uship the BEST SHIP in the shipping business

I needed a piece of farm equipment shipped about 300 miles with an average shipping price of about 475.00 Uship got it shipped for me for my target price of 300.00 and without using the of the BIG money grubbing shipping companies. The guy that delivered it was just an average "Joe" small business man making a living for his family.

Took good care of perishable goods transporting through 6 states.Driver respected special requests regarding time of delivery.Very professional ,on time and communicated well.Thanks guys, I will use you again.

SHIPPED DIESEL ENGINE

I COULD WRITE A THOUSAND WORDS ABOUT ALL ASPECTS OF MY EXPERIENCE BUT I HATE TO TYPE SO AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ON EVERY DETAIL THANKS

Great experience shipping our product cross country.

Affordable solution to moving a half pallet of BBQ sauce in glass jars from Chicago to Western Montana, and as good or better than "standard" shipping in the past at 1/2 the price.

UShip is a huge help in these tough times

My wife and I started an eco entrepreneurship in our garage three years ago. Because of the unique service UShip offers as an option to conventional shipping we have been able to expand. Our whale tail shaped organic tortilla chips are now sold in three states and our chips have been donated to ocean conservation events all over the United States. UShip members have joined us by getting the chips ...

Uship is a superior shipping experience

I have shipped many different items with Uship from water heaters to very large farm tractors. Always had excellent service at very reasonable rates. I have recommended Uship to MANY people and will continue to do so.

shipping hay

Jb trucking was the first to bid and very competitve in price. On time - great communicator! I will use him fom now on! Thanks again Jay!

Great value on our donut flour shipping.

Every three months we get 200 fifty pound Bags of our custom produced donut Flour base for our bakery. In the past we let the manufacture arrange the shipping and they just billed us for the shipped price of the mix. This time when we ordered it they told us that they had been under charging us and the new corrected shipping price would be just over $1,500. That was when I suggested to the owner ...

Moving Hay...animals hungry

I have a farm in Michigan...hay prices in my area are outrageous. My horses and cows needed food, so I went search for reasonable hay prices. I found 80 round bales, weighing 800 a piece, now I needed a transporter. My schedule didn't allow me to run back and forth to deal with this. I posted on uShip and Steve made a bid...my animals are now eating and happy. What else could you ask for? Gr ...

semi load of small bales of hay

I am very pleased with this service provider on this shipment. He took very good care of the hay while in route was easy to work with and was very patient. He even purchased a larger trailer last minute before hauling my load to accomadate my needs. That was surprising. Will definitly be using and recommending him in the future. Uship put me in network with many service providers and by charg ...

Great

It was the first time that use Uship, I think that does not have seriousness, but it mistakes to me, is the advisable form to find the best transport. Thanks Uship.

U ship a must in my business

As I have become comfortable with U ship I use it more and more. We have equipment coming into our Farm Equipment dealeship from all over the country. I generaly post loads with enough time to get a very competitive bid that I can in turn pass onto my customers. I have some of the largest shippers deliver new equipment fom my suppliers. Problem is very little comunication from them. With U ship I ...

Tractor snowblower transport

I had contacted several shippers previously to globalfowarding and had failure after failure. One had promised to pickup in two days but I never heard from him again. Another said that a trip had been cancelled but get there before Christmas. I contacted them two or three times after and they said they would get back to me. I heard about uship and thought I would give them a try, all else had ...

The Killer 800lb. Bales of Alfalfa

Raising livestock without a flatbed trailer has really been a difficult experience. With the large amounts of feed we go through, I am always ordering large quantities of hay, usually at ridiculous prices because of delivery fees. Last week I found a crazy deal on some good quality HUGE alfalfa hay bales. I was ready to order away, until I learned that the supplier didn't deliver. I was about t ...

Our Largest load ever

I own a small winery in Southern California, up to this point we've been able to reant a truck and bring the grapes down on our own. As we grow we're begining to run into logistics issues. Size, time, cost all became bigger factors than in times past. We were bringing our largest shipment ever, 26,000 pounds of Gold Medal Cabernet grapes from Paso Robles. When everything is Crushed, Pressed and ...

Great experience shipping fresh grapes

I needed 9 tons of fresh grapes shipped within 24 hours of harvest, with just 72 hour notice. Uship made the4 process of finding a quality shipper easy and quick. The fruit arrived on-time and in great condition. It was a very good experience using uShip. I would use the service again.

Unique load and a great finish

I used to put up hay a long time ago, and decided to get back in it. Finding the equipment wasn't the issue, getting it here was. Never having to contract shipments before was the unknown for me. The U ship site came at a great time for me. It was easy to use, allowed a bid process and resulted in a fair rate to get the baler to me. I am not done using the uship site yet.

Farm equipment

i needed to get a hammer mill wood chipper item that i won on ebay. the item was very heavy so no one but me bidded on the item, uship cut my cost by more than half and it was so easy to link the ebay item number to uship all the information was right there for the shippers to bid on the item. i will never ship any other way

IT was just awesome

The shipper saved me about 300-400 dollars in freight cost. Made the purchase for the buyer a lot more affordable. UShip is definately the way to go as far as shipping freight.

just a big new rear tractor tire, OHIO/CONN

I bought 2 large rear ag tractor tires form a farmer in Cleveland area. I drove out to Terra Haute, Indiana to visit friends; thinking I'd haul the tires back on the roof of my car. Probably could have, but the farmer talked me out of it. Instead, I took just one on the roof. Now I needed to have the other one shipped. Another trucker from CT told me about uShip.com. ; I punched in my needs and B ...

grain and seed drill

Roger was very helpful, and patient with me in making this shipment. This was the first time I have ever used uship and I am extreamly pleased with the service I received. I never knew I could be so easy to have something shipped from Ohio to Georgia in such a quick and efficient manner and the price was great. I will definately use USHIP for future shipping needs. Thank you USHIP for your help ...

Specialized Horse Feed

This is the second time I've used uShip to transport a specialized equine feed. In both instances the service provider provided impeccable communication and service. uShip provides a much needed and valuable service. I'd recommend uShip to those that are in need for such services...

Great experience with uShip

Working with uShip has been great. I received several competitive bids and was able to get my shipment here on time and at a fair price. The company that did the hauling was flexable and helpful in completing the shipment. Good communication. Thanks for everything. Paul

Easy, fast, accurate experience!

First time user of UShip. Was set up and had a posted listing in 10-15 minutes. Had two bids on my offer within the first hour. Had two additional bids within the next 12 hours. Accepted (not the lowest) one of the 4 bids and my product was picked up in Michigan within 3 hrs. and in North Carolina the next day. Unbelievable service and turnaround time given by the carrier. Not to mention the ...

Good experience with food shippment

Jerry went over and beyond and help load and unload our food cargo. When all was said and done, he even gave me a check for our animal rescue. Good shipper. Donna

Excellent experience shipping our freight

We were able to easily arrange transport of oru CPG freight in a timely manner. The carrier we worked with provided excellent customer service and professional support. Our company will look to use uShip again and again.

Incredible experience shipping 2 pallets of spelt berries

We finally got the customer to decide how many bags of spelt (whole grain) she wanted. It took her a while to decide - almost a month! When we did, and as soon as we accepted the bid on uship, the contact person called me within 3-5 minutes of pushing the "accept bid" button to confirm the information, make arrangements (next day) to pickup the shipment and get it where it needed to go. He was v ...

Safe Ostrich Egg Delivery

I had a shipment of packed ostrich eggs to be delivered to a hatchery in Iowa. Dan was able to pick up the eggs here in Tucumcari and deliver them safely in a timely manner. I was able to get these eggs delivered for a reasonable price. I appreciate uShip and would definitely use them again. Thanks again to Dan at wildhorse for the transport.

Price was right and shipment was picked up and arrived on time

I needed my shipment to stay below a certain cost to maintain my margins on resale. I also needed my product picked up at a very specific time and to arrive at a certain time to accomodate warehouse schedules. Shipments were on time on both ends. Also, I was shipping glass bottles of juice, so I needed my product to be handled with kid gloves. I'm happy to report not one bottle was broken. Communi ...

Shipping Done Right

I could only wish it was as simple as saying these guys are highly recommended and great to do business with. The only problem with that would be, it simply wouldn't be fair to them or you. You see when everything goes as planned, it is very simple for a company like UShip to carry out their end of the shipping bargin. They have the experience and a proven track record. But here's what s ...

An Honest Outfit

The whole experience was so positive I am continuing to do business with this Company.

Wonderful experience having my tractor shipped.

Great experience, Ken and Kathy are great to work with. I really enjoyed meeting them and they got my tractor here safe, sound, and on time. I would highly recommend them.

Super delivery of my Arena groomer!

Purchased an arena groomer- heavy circular tractor attachment used to smooth riding arena footing- sight unseen from Craigslist 7 hours from my home. Used UShip for the first time and found Ken to pick it up for me. Great website and excellent shipper. Ken picked up my machine on time and delivered it the same way! Kept me in contact the whole trip. Helped load and unload. Definately would use ...

uShip trucker delivers.

Fantastic experience shipping Specimen Ornamental Trees

Three months ago we were contacted by a customer who wanted to order trees from our farm located in SC. Her needs were simple and the trees were to be planted in a memorial garden dedicated to her mother whom had recently passed in OH. This was a wonderful order for us and we greatly touched by her story. We then put a listing on Uship as this was way out of our delivery area. After several bids ...

Great experience shipping my coffee

All around excellent experience. Goods arrived on time with no damage at all.

Good Experence

I will most likely use uShip again in the future.

Bulk ag lime hauling is an experience

Luckily, I found USHIP on line. I have been trying to find a hauler to bring lime from York,Pa to my farm for several years. Crops grows so much better with the right nutients which are enhanced by proper and timely lime applications. Over the years, I found Baker lime to have high quality lime I needed but no one to haul. NSTrucking was there to fill the gap, haul the lime I wanted, reasonable, ...

Hay

This shipper was right on the job, on time, worked hard to accomplish a good shipping. We shipped approx. 18 tons of hay. Very satisfied with speed of contact, shipping speed, information about where load was, and every aspect of the shipping. Great job! Would highly recommend and will use again.
