Excellent service

Would definitely use this company again, very quick and good service as feed back history plainly shows. Smooth Transaction.

Request from uShip

The only bad part of this experience is having to fill out this description for uShip before I can get my deposit back.

Great service with a tough load.

A disassembled building and a huge equipment hoist. It was not an easy load. Jeff took the time to carefully load and secure the shipment. He also communicated with me throughout the trip and was at our location exactly when he said he would arrive. Nice job!

Shipped 12000lb machine with my computer and 2 calls

I bought a huge chassis dyno on Ebay, and thought shipping would be insane for 1100 miles and 12000lbs. Well, within a day or so I had several offers bid down to ship it on uShip for <1200, which isn't bad at all. With loading costs, it arrived in one shipment for about 1500. Rapidfiretx did a great job arranging for loading this monster machine and transporting it safely, and even quickly recov ...

Great experience shippinh my welder genearator.

RDOGG and his driver were great. They were flexible and accomodating. The communication was good. And most importantly they cared for the shipment like it was their own. Great guys, great carriers.

int´l customer

I am in mex city , my shipment was moved from dallas tx to rochester mn, the supplier was at TN. everythin through the we and some phonce calls to verify... everything was perfect

Excellent service! I would recommend this service to everyone.

I was going to drive to Phoenix from Missouri to pick up a kubota excavator but a friend recommended using Uship. I gave it a try and probably saved money and for sure 3 days of my life. Thanks.

My first experience with Trans System Logistics

I accepted the bid Friday and they we're 3 hours from picking up our shipment by Monday morning. Chris was great about returning phone calls & Barb also helped facilitate an easy payment transaction. Will look for them again.

From a western ranch to a Wisconsin cowtown.

We used uShip to ship an engine from a ranch in Wyoming to a small town in Wisconsin. Northeast Logistical Solutions did a great job expediting the shipment which presented some challenges due to the pickup location (a ranch in a fairly remote part of the state). Erik at Northeast Logistical did a great job keeping me informed about the progress. Even though there was a slight snafu by one of the ...

Complex Shipment

This was my first use of U SHIP. I normally use Transport Brokers. This had a short fuse and a low area for service. The process worked great at a fair price and the shipment made it right where it needed to get to including a complicated border crossing. I will absolutely become a U Ship user in the future.

Shipping container from Texas to Nevada

Had my container in dalles,fort-worth shipping hub and needed to get it shipped out west and went on -line to u-ship, listed it and took bids and accepted a reasonable bid and had to setup the offloading on my end and had a site ready set it at.Worked very well, and very pleased to get all my stuff!!!! w.a.Nicholas

USHIP took the high cost and confusion out of shipping my large ebay purchase.

I purchased a large cabinet saw with a 50" extension table from a seller, located 1300 miles froim my home. I accepted a shipping quote and days later, my saw arrived in perfect conditon. What more could I ask? Be careful when posting your UBID request. When you submit your request, the site doesn't tell you that your ad is posted. I posted my ad 3 times before figuring out that my reques ...

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 !

Moving 100KW Genrator cross country...

I purchased a 100 KW genreator for my business via the internet. Unit was located 1300 miles from my business. Spent 3 months trying to arrange transport via commercial carriers. No reasonable quotes. I listed on Uship on a Sunday evening. 10 days later the unit was sitting in my drive way at a very reasonable rate. No hassle. No drama. Very positive first experience with Uship and with Jeffr ...

Impossible shipment delivered unbelievably fast! Shipper is freaking Awesome!

We needed a large boiler moved quick, as our baby chicks were freezing. I posted the add on the site at 9 o'clock and wagon88 shot a bid over by 10. He picked that stove up at 7am and had it in the yard before sundown, 580 miles!! Fired it up and those little peckers are toasty warm. Uship and wagon88 saved the farm, at least for another day. Thanks again for a job well done!

Peace of Mind

I shipped a 1999 Ottawa Model 30 yard tractor for the company I work with in Pennsylvania. My employer bought the piece from an on-line auction in Alabama and we were not sure when the ship date was going to be. When the item was finally purchased successfully, I had no problem going to uShip and finding an excellend service provider who got our shipment here within days on short notice. I didn ...

bobcat and backhoe atached good job

Shipped a 11000# combination of items over 1800 miles. Shipping was more cost effective than going to get the item. I probably spent about 35% more than if I had picked the item up myself but when you figure in the lost time of production plus the exposure to liability or the chance of something going wrong. Leave it to the professionals and do what you do best. I would absolutely use uShip agai ...

Great Idea

Uship works well. I've used it several times. When I heard about it, I thought it was obviously a good idea

The best service ever

I was contacted right away and ask how the price was. I didn’t agree with it and arranged a better price. Then I arranged a pick up which was not ten days or so latter it was the next day. Then my pick up wasn't a month later it was three days later. I could not believe it. I will suggest them and look for then every time I deal with a company with their expertise and attention to customer s ...

Very Easy to Work with

We are an OEM manufacturer and have been shipping products and equipment for 29 years and we have dealt with all the carriers and brokers out there. Uship and Freight 101 who moved our recent shipment, made life very easy and I can assure you we will be using them for the next shipment going out! Its nice to not have to deal with hidden hassles that others seem to throw out after the produc ...

I had a great exprience with using u-ship & will use them next shipment again

i had a harben pressure washer trailer shipped from california to north carolina coast. I was very happy with every detail

Saved $over 900.00 Using U-Ship!!!!

Well I bought a Morgan Building 14'x 32'and I called all the local building movers and the best price was $1460.00 I listed it on U-Ship just to see what kind of bids I could get and just to see how low it would go I put a $400.00 Book it Now price. Well the second day it was listed I received a bid of $350.00 I was amazed it was under the Book it now price but due to some Scheduling problems the ...

METAL CUTTING LATHE LARGE

Excellent service, great communicator. He adjusted his schedule to fit mine to avoid Mothers day. Good price. I will use him again. Ken

2nd Great experience in1st week

I used uship twice in one week and I can say how great it worked. Saved me 21 hours on the road at a small price. Loved it! Rick

Large metal lathe & Mill

My E Bay purchases were large, & heavy, but still very delicate. Combined weight was over 5000 lbs. Walter was very professional in arranging all aspects of transport, he made suggestions on type of trailor to make loading off side of trailor easy and safe. Excellent follow thru from both Walter and his driver Jeromy. It was raining during off load at my hangar on a back country small airpo ...

10,000 pound metal lathe shipped across the country.

I needed to ship a large metal lathe 1300 miles. Immediately after listing the job on u-Ship I received several quotes. I waited one day, I read the feedback listed for the quoting companies and chose the second to lowest bidder. (The price I paid was 30% lower than what I had been quoted through Freightquote.com.) I received a phone call from the shipper almost immediately. Amazingly a truck was ...

New experience...shipping freight

I was trying to ship a pallet of machineery to New York. I received a bid that was too good to refuse! They worked hard to make things happen. We did experience some problems with communication, but they worked very hard to make sure I knew exactly what they were doing and what to expect. I will use them again and would recommend that if you want a good price you look at using them as well. C ...

Gorghi Tire Machine

I could not be more pleased with the way Dave took charged of my shipment. I just won the item the day before on ebay (Tuesday) and by the second day (Thursday) it was on its way. Got here in 4 days (Tuesday) Not bad for 2500 miles, Best service and price. Thanks Dave your top notch in my book

Experience shipping large equipment

I found Uship while trying to locate a freight company out of the area. Once I listed my fish skinning machine with Uship, I immediately started getting bids to haul this machine from Seattle to Crescent City, CA. By using this site, I saved over $100.00 shipping costs and it eliminated costly and time consuming legwork on my part, thus leaving me free to do my job. Overall, Uship has been a posit ...

Great experience shipping my Machine

I had a Great experience shipping my Machine. The movers worked out great and it was easy from start to finish Plus they dropped off the machine right on time.

Large chop saw

The decision to purchase the saw on CraigsList was deeply affected by the value I got from such a resonable shipping cost. I truely could not have done it without the fine folks at USHIP. I'm very pleased with the value I got and would not be afraid to search for things I need from a great distance. The saw I purchased is for a project with the Army that involves cutting some heavy pipe to be u ...

Ebay Nightmare

I bid on a wheel balancer on ebay, and the seller had quoted me $150 for shipping. When I won the auction the seller told me the shipping was $276. At this ponit I didn't even want the balncer, which i only paid $150 for. I found uship.com and it was simply and sugnificantly cheaper, saving me over $100 on the shipping. Thanks uship.com, i will be back for future shipments! Joe from Wisconsin

Great experience shipping lab equipment

I had a complex item pick-up to do. The only company that I found in the phone book capable of doing taking care of the shipping needs for highly sensitive equipment (pick-up, packaging, shipping) was located in Suffolk, VA. To pick the equipment up, they quoted me $900 solely to pick it up and bring it to their packaging warehouse. I was able to list on uShip and get a cost-effective bid from ...

Initial shipment

We rarely need to send anything above 50 pounds so I expected to spend a lot of time calling for quotes to ship 3 pallets of cable (+/- 2500#) from our warehouse. Then I found UShip.com... Not knowing what to expect, I entered all of the information requested and pressed the submit button. Within minutes, I had 2 quotes for returning the goods to the manufacturer. It was almost too good to be ...

Yurt skylight domes from Colorado to Indiana

We lost three large plexiglas yurt skylight domes to storm damage. The folks at ColoradoYurt.com fabricated and crated replacement domes and Uship.com provided the way to find a dependable carrier at the best price. Couldn't be happier.

uShip Worked for Me!

I purchased a set of French doors from a home improvement store but delivery was not included. The only service they offered was curbside delivery and that wouldn't work for me because I needed to get the doors to the backside of the house. I put my delivery job on uShip and had several good bids. The mover I picked showed up on time and handled everything for me. I even offered to help carry the ...

Cost

Using the feature of shipping for a particular cost is the way to go. No hassles and you know what price you will pay. We had the load from hell, and got the BEST man for the job to take care of it for us. You will definetly find good haulers with uship.

needed machinery shipped

This was a decent experience being new to needing trucking the use of this site made it easier for me to obtain a truck at a reasonable price

Generators

This was my first time using USHIP. Everything worked great. I will continue to use this shipping service. My products were delivered to my door below half price of regular shipping. 100% satisfation on my end. Thanks USHIP, sebrown2040

I love it when a plan comes togather.

I am not in the shipping business, so when I needed several large, heavy pieces of woodworking equipment moved from North Carolina to Arizona I was glad a friend suggested contacting U-Ship. The bid prices I received for moving my equipment was more competitive than dealing directly with the major trucking companies. Read the ratings when making your choice of which shipping bid to accept ...

Shipment went smoothly.

I was a little leary at first about using USHIP however it went very smoothly. Will use Uship again! The service providor Bob with Pacific Motor Service was great!

auction shipment

We had hoped to win more items on an internet auction, but just one pallet wasn't worth our hours on the road. Other than the first shipper backing out, this was a great way to find somebody to ship our small order.

More control to the person buying

This site is great, it allows the person purchasing the freight to have more control on what they want to spend. Also everyone seems to commnuncate wonderfully, which is a plus when you have a freight item out there on the roads, you know when to be at your shop to expect delivery.

First Time User

We found this site and it was very helpful to find shippers, evaluate bids, and ultimately saved a lot on freight costs. Being patient is important. Waiting a couple weeks saw dramatic reduction in bids. The first bids were 2-3 times higher than the later ones.

Trencher implement shipped A-okay

I bid on a trencher attachment for my tractor through eBay, but was concerned about getting it to me. I was skeptical to entrust any private party with this piece of equipment - not so much because it was so delicate, more that something would happen to it en route. Not ONLY did my shipper's bid come in nearly $600 less than the nearest commercial bid, but he was there to pick the trencher up fr ...

First Time User

Company did a great job shipping my excavator from Oregon to Az, on time, dependable, they all sounded real business like, would use them again

Uship solved our problem.

The service provider saved us a 1400 mile round trip in dangerous winter driving conditions. Our cost about $200. Our savings? .... go figure!!!!

shipping my Leister hot air welder

I appreciate having a service such as uShip. I purchase a lot of items through auction sites like ebay. Often they may be large or bulky items from sellers that do not have the facilities, tools or knowledge to pack them for shipment by a traditional freight carrier who often requires that items be palletized. uShip allows me to find a service provider that can ship those items without those type ...

Shipping a 20' Shipping Container

Great experience thanks to Jeff/Vicki, only had a little trouble when it started to snow. All worked out well.

Outstanding experience shipping a large piece of machinery

I am just starting out in the metal fabrication business and bought this piece of equipment to help me get started. I admit I was nervous at first about using your service with so much at stake. My equipment was shipped on-time and without any problems, plus I saved a lot of money (65% off quoted price from broker). I would recommend this service to anyone. Thanks Uship.
