CNC MACHINE TRANSPORT.

A very expensive machine had to be moved from Chicago to Naples. I purchased it from a bank sale, so the price was very good. Uship is very easy to use and it works good for me when I need to ship items. I don't have to baby sit the site. I get nice texts alerting me that someone has a question or bid. I probably saved 1000 on this load using uship. Bullseye transport did a great job s ...

Miehle Vertical shipment

Press was located in Missouri and the price from freightquote was a bit more than I could afford. Halvorsen Express was the low bid and was able to pick up and deliver the press faster than I had expected. There was absolutely no damage to the equipment and I was informed of pick up and delivery. All in all I was very please with the service they provided.

Engine Shipment

My advise is to try to find a "little guy" who can take your shipment, the freight brokers really can't guarentee anything or make anything happen. JMHO

Outstanding first experience w/ uShip

I had a truck crane shipped from Minnesota to South Carolina. I would definitely recommend this website to anyone in need of shipping services.

Lots of responses - but a clear choice

I was moving a telescoping radio tower that is 23 feet long (nested), 23 inches on a side (triangular) and weighs 750 pounds. I needed it moved from one residential location to another about 40 miles away. I received a lot of responses from people who were curious and interested in the business, but the provider I chose stood out - he responded confidently, had done this before and his pri ...

Shipped Subfloor and Overcame Hurdles

Andy got my subfloor to its destination without issues. He tolerated a couple screw-ups on my part and worked around them no problem. There was no forklift at my pickup location so he changed to UPS freight in order to make things work for me. I also had issues with my drop off location that Andy worked out as well. Sorry for being a pain Andy. I wished we could have spoke on the phone more a ...

Good Experience

I shipped some repoed sub-floor out of Alaska (www.warmboard.com). Prices were coming in steep so Tim send me a message suggesting I do two separate shipments to get my goods to their destination. He delivered my floor to a warehouse in MN where it was picked up by another shipping company. Good work Tim. I will use Tim again if I need something shipped from Alaska. Drive safe Tim! -Rudi

U-Ship Experience

U-ship provides a free-enterprise forum for interstate delivery of goods. Very useful service. We prefer U-ship to scheduled truckers because the small, privately owned companies who bid on trucking assignment are more competitive than scheduled carriers and more important, they don't damage goods like scheduled carriers.

great job

uship service providers are saving me a ton of money and getting things done very efficiently!!! I couldn't be happier!!!

Shipping large shop machine

I found a great deal on a very large bandsaw. Now the problem is to get it without the shipping costing more than the item. Uship provides a venue to do just that. A great resource for obtaining the rare, unusual or odd item that you would otherwise hesitate to get, due to shipping.

Positive experience shipping a bulky fibreglass water treatment system

Offered bids on line to ship from UK to France as the item is not manufactured in France. Received good advice and a number of competing bids on Uship. Selected a bidder and discussed the details of delivery. They were extremely helpful and co-operative. The unit was delivered ahead of schedule and in perfect order. Payment by Pay Pal added to the ease of use of this service. I'll definitely use U ...

Crate with a Super Shop

Shipper negotiated a reasonable price and Pickup and delivery where timely. Package arrived undamaged. uShip seems to get good rates.

Ive heard about it for years, but have never took the time to check it out. With the shop this busy and an online buy in KY, I had to do something.......Uship worked great, will use again and again and again. Thanks, Clarke Watts, Jr.

Good first experience shipping my welder!

He shipped my welder for me, and brought it right to my house. He stayed in contact throughout the entire process. It was a good first experience, and would use again.

bad experience, Lost big money

I listed with Uship to have my 1950 GMC shipped to me. The service provider took my money and disappeared. Uship took many weeks to block the service provider, who in the meantime ripped off many more Uship customers. Uship finally returned their portion of the shipping fee, leaving me to try and recover the rest. I also had to secure further shipping on my own. I still am out the $$$$

shower door shipment

I was holding my breath with this shipment of 13 frame-less 3/8 tempered glass shower doors and sidelights! My shipment traveled from Florida to Upstate New York SAFE and exactly when scheduled! I set up the delivery myself, and saved a lot of money using USHIP instead of the manufactures shipping. This was my 2nd USHIP and for sure there will be more!

Shipped two large water tanks with pumps

We shipped two large awkward sized fertilizer tanks from Ohio to Utah. We loved having a couple of potential shippers bidding for the lowest cost. We ended up getting a price that blew out the initial estimates. SMARTquote scheduled a same day pickup and prompt delivery. We couldn't have picked up the products cheaper even if we had driven there ourselves. I'll use uShip again for ever ...

Frontmount snowblower for John Deere 1445 Tractor

I will use uShip again should the need ar ...

Wrestling a loader

Northern lower Michigan is one place that is very difficult to get somthing delivered to. It often requires the provider to deadhead to the southern part of the state to get another cargo. On top of that I had a cumbersome loader off a tractor that would necessitate actions similar to wrestling an alligator. Uship has solved problems for me in the past . This time the cargo was only three hundred ...

It was pleasant and unstressful transaction. Got my item with no problem at all. Very convenient and safe website to ship your item from heavy stuff to the smallest item and reasonable pricing. Will use the website again and recommend to my other friends.

UShip is fabulous!

As a medium-sized contractor, 99% of our working materials are shipped to us. For the few times that we need something delivered outside our normal area, I've found UShip to be invaluable. Great pricing and easy interaction with shippers who fulfill our request. It was such a relief to find an economical way to ship. The boss is happy so I'm happy! I have mentioned UShip.com to many people and ...

Helluva Driver with one tuff ass Ford F150

Ol Dyer (and Dougie his dog), dragged a 6 ton load in the back of a f150 that had solid suspension. I cant believe the tires didn't blow, he said they were foam filled. He drove 650 miles through a damn January storm, that changed from rain to ice to a blizzard, white out w/bone chilling temps, just to get the load in on time. This guy is a real pro! Thanks.

Puts you in contact with the nation!

One simple listing puts in contact with more shippers than you could call in a week. This is the only way to go for someone that only has a few shipments a couple times a year. Jeff Johnson

Great experience shipping our acoustic wall panels

Heard about UShip from a local pastor-friend who saved $1500 transporting a 20' work trailer from FLA ro MD. I was really impressed (the first 24 hours) to see how professional this service networks itself through the bidders and customers. The online process is a no-brainer if you can peck a keyboard. Would highly recommend UShip to anyone who despises the shipping and handling gouging a ...

uShip was great. It was my first time and I expected a lot more headaches through the shipping process. It went through without a hitch. I wish I could say the same for ebay and paypal.

I Highly Recommend UShip.

I have used Uship twice. I was very satisfied with both shipments and the service UShip provides putting the two parties together. I Highly Recommend UShip as a safe and reasonable shipping connection. I will use again.

Concrete Culverts

I needed almost two dozen concrete culverts, that were over 100 miles away, delivered to my house. I posted the ad on UShip and within hours I was receiving bids. Within 48 hours I received the bid I would accepted and everything elese fell into place. I had a very positive experience with UShip and I would definitely use them again.
