Shipped unusual equipment - they handled it fine!

Good service. Kept in touch so I always knew what was going on. Was able to work with me through customs, etc. Product arrived on time, trucker was friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend provider and use the service again.

Crane shipment

1st time user, shipped some cranes across the country. Rates were excellent. I am recomending this site to friends and business associates.

Forklift Move from branch to branch location

Put my job up for bid and 18 hours later the job was done. Excellent service, reasonably priced and QUICK. Best thing about Uship is that the people are very professional and easy to work with!

You are innovators

Thanks for starting this service, you are the definition of innovation and efficiency. Let the free market do it's thing and get out of the way. For a small business owner who is just starting off, saving money on shipping goes a long way to getting established and maybe someday hiring employees. Thanks again

Great experience shipping our empty 40' container.

We had a couple last minute changes with pick up & delivery dates & times but JSL Family Trucking remained professional and untroubled by our changes.

1st time user--will use again!

This was my first time using uship--and I will definitely use again! Great rates, great communication, and very fast shipping! Truck drivers didn't speak English, but we managed to get it done! Thank you and I will always recommend your service!

Great Service

I have used Uship twice with the same service provider and both times it has been great.I will continue to use this service.Thank you very much.

First timer/wow

I was bidding on (ebay) a dozer blade for my skid steer and wanted an approx. shipping cost (impacts how high I would bid). Seller suggested uShip so I went to site and kept entering info (I didn't realize I would get "real bids"/now have an account). I didn't win the first bid, but was prepared for next auction and when I won, went back to my uShip account and requested bids - w/i 30 minutes I h ...

shipp9ing

We have used UShip twice now and have had a good experience both times. It saved us a lot of money. Thank you!

Great experience shipping my new engine.

Hi, Everything went great with my delivery of my new engine. My shippers name was Dannylynch, and he picked up my engine in Ohio, and delivered it to me in Philadelphia. He was very helpful through the whole process. He was in touch with me the whole way. Uship is the best site for shipping. I love to watch the bidding going on. I recommend Danny very highly for anyone wanting shipping services. T ...

They did good job shipping my machine

I purchased a large piece of gasoline powered mobile equipment. Shipper was prompt & professional in delivering. the machine was tied down & covered up like I asked them to do. When machine got to destination (my house) it would not start up. I worked several hours to git machine started. The shippers truck driver was very patient & even helpful with this. He would stand at drivers position and cr ...

The best there is on Uship!!!!!

My load was not ready when Bulldog went to pick it up. They called me right away and advised me of the situation. I live in NY and was having shingles shipped from MN. to my new home in VA. Between calls to the company from Bulldog and myself we got the load around and ready to be shipped. The driver waited 1 hour for the load and advised me when he was loaded and on his way. The people at Bulldog ...

Excellent Shipper!

Bill and his driver kept in perfect communication with me, worked with my schedule, and delivered ahead of schedule. Thanks so much.

Shippeda light tower from Tucson

I purchased a light tower from a government auction in Tucson AZ. I needed to ship it to Michigan. Tom, the shipper, picked it up from my daughter's house in Tucson as planned and delivered it to my home in Michigan. Everything went very smoothly and hassle free. This is great way to ship large items.

Very good!!!

Needed my merchindise sent for a specified amount to fit into my budget and Swift transport was able to do so.

WOMAN BEHIND THE WHEEL!

I HAVE BEEN USING TRUCK DRIVERS FOR A LONG TIME KNOW, OUTSIDE OF U-SHIP. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I COME ACCROSS A WOMAN TRUCK DRIVER. BEING A WOMAN MYSELF IN AND INDUSTRY THAT IS MALE DOMINATED, IT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD TO KNOW THAT U-SHIP IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY PROVIDER. THAT'S PRETTY COOL! THANKS MISS GERRIE

Uship frauds

There are some good deals to be found on this service, but I can not overstress the need for caution. I have been ripped off twice, to the tune of $2600.00, and there is little Uship can or will do about it. In one case Local Auto Direct booked and collected money from about 80 customers, between September and December, insisted on payment, picked up many vehicles, didn't deliver, left these v ...

Professional service hauling my rare antique McCormick-Deering T35 Crawler.

I purchased a rare 1937 McCormick-Deering T35 crawler (one of only 499 total produced, and only 241 were made in 1937) that was located 350 miles away from me. I listed the unit on Uship for hauling services, due to the fact that I had no trailer at the time to haul it myself. I had several bids and accepted the one from Eric Fass (fasshotshothauling) as the time line that he was able to haul it i ...

BULLDOZER

I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT FOR A LONG TIME, BUT CHRISTINE CAME THROUGH FOR ME AVOIDING STORAGE FEES. THANKS MISS GERRIE

great experience

we had a problem getting these machines to us, since the shipper had them on 2 different locations, and the freight company worked hard for us to get the shipper combine them , greatly greatly appreciated

Just as posted!!

The guy i sold this, trans jack for semi, lived in York Pa. He bought it and never thought of how he was going to get it to him. I live in Minooka,il. and its about 700 miles away. I finally got sick of him not doing anything aboutit and listed it on U SHIP. Before the listing ended i had 7or 8 bids on the item. We settled on our guy and it was a nice feeling that someone took care in shipping thi ...

Great experience in my first shipment

As a professional licensed,bondedv and insured auction company that is a leader in online auction technology our firm occasionally runs into ebay type bidders who are ill informed and not very knowledgeable about real auctions. They will bid on items and have no idea on what it will cost to ship an item.They don't read our terms and conditions and fail to contact our 3rd party shipper prior to ...

Great experience shipping my loader

I purchased a Bobcat Skid Steer Loader over Ebay. The loader was in Florida and I live in Washington state. Brocon was the hauler I chose. Stephen stated when he would pick up the loader and when he would deliver it. He called me as soon as I accepted his bid and kept me informed though out the whole trip. Since I had never seen this loader other than the pictures on Ebay, I was pretty nervous a ...

Snow plow

Hello, I purchased a 800lb snow plow on eBay. The shop was located on the far east side of PA, i had it shipped to northeastern Ohio for only $146.00. Thank you USHIP Aaron

FORK LIFT, VERY HEAVY Indiana to Tulsa

Very satisfied. I have used U SHIP 3 times & continue to be extremely satisfied with service. Cost is low, door to door service, self reliant providers...NO telephone tag or going thru a lengthy menu of phone option menues & waiting to long to finally get to talk to a service person so common when dealing with large corporations... All have been independent business men that work hard get the jo ...

First time user

First time user, admittedly had my doubts about securing a freight service in such an arbitrary way, but Bilco transport came through for us and was a very positive experience all the way around.

VERMEER SHIPMENT

I WAS HAVING A HARD TIME FINDING RELIABLE AND REASONABLE TRUCKING. I TURNED TO USHIP AND THEY WERE ABLE TO MATCH MY NEEDS. I KNOW YOU NEVER GIVE UP...USHIP CAN HELP. THANKS EVERYONE... HAPPY CUSTOMER SINCERELY, GERRIE

What a ride!!!

Finally booked with a responsible shipping company that was fair and honest. I would use this company again for future bookings. Some mistakes and pointers I would share with people about my first exsperience, trying to book this load, 1. Don't always go with low bid! 2. Check all feedback / history about who's bidding before booking shipping.(Dishonesty comes in all walks of life.) 3. H ...

Trencher shipment

I am very satisfied with the manner in which my shipment was handled. I highly recommend this Service Provided. The service was great and the price was reasonable.

Excellent service provider!

Excellent service provider! Good communication! Very professional! They have more than 20 years of experience in the business and they can move anything! I am very happy with their service and I will recommend to everyone! Thanks for everything Dan!

Shipping Electrical Supplies

I work with a vendor who presents some challenges so working with a great freight service makes it a little less stresssful!

Logs and Lumber

Full semi of logs and lumber delivered as promised. A couple of small pieces lost in transport. Shipper to address.

Machine shop equipment

I was worried about booking and not meeting someone first, but this worked out great. Price was good, service excellent. Great experience

This was great!

I had never heard of USHIP before, but am delighted that I found this. Not only did I have several options from bidders to choose from, but I saved a few hundred dollars off of the price that was being quoted by the major carrier lines. I have already started telling my friends about this great service.

cheap price ,great service

I needed a 6 foot high- 8 foot wide- 2000 lb tool box delivered from florida to new york .the cheapest price I was able to get was $525.0 and I was going to have hire a flatbed tow truck to load and unload the box which was an additional $130.0. rolando was able to deliver the tool box for $350.0 out the door with no towtruck needed.I wish I new about u-ship sooner I would have saved alot of mone ...

john deere 450c

I bought this machine about a year and a half ago from a friend in Va. and was making quarterly payments.We had an agreement that while I was paying it off, he could continue to use it for personal use and small local jobs to pay for the upkeep. He put over 100 hrs on it and no upkeep at all. When I paid it off in August, it was out of fuel,low on oil and wouldn't start.I decided then I had to br ...

Excellent shipper

Needed loader moved from Michigan to Minnesota. Brocon moved it and kept me informed about times and delivery. Had no problems at all will be using him again.

1st timer

This was the first time I used this service and I will use it again.The service provider was prompt with great communication.

Great Service

We shipped a Pettibone Telehandler from Nashville TN to Florida. The price quoted was the most competitive and communication with the company was quick and efficient. We made payment on Monday and the equipment arrived at our site on Tuesday afternoon. The driver, Kevin was courteous and friendly, and called when he was close to his destination. Theresa, who we communicated with by e-mail and pho ...

Just empty containers

We had a couple of empty containers ex Atlanta but needed them urgently in Houston, Tx. All rates we received from the rail, trucking companies, etc. were blowing up our budget so we turned to UShip and hoped, that a provider would hear our call for help and move the units down to Texas in time. Within a couple of days we were able to receive a great rate from a UShip provider and they hauled our ...

Shipping my machine

the first truck cancelled out, but my shipper said they would still do it for the same price. The next ruck hauled it to the Canadian border, then was not allowd into Canada, so that company had to send a another driver, so it took a little longer to get here, but best of all is that it was all taken care of and I did not need to be chasing it around.

uShip has provided excellenct service and walked me through the shipment of which I knew nothing b4.

I have never shipped a large package before. I needed to ship a fifth wheel hitch back east from AZ to ME. It weighed 180lbs and I was not sure what the best way to ship. Uship assisted me and helped me understand what I would be up against. I was so thankful for their help. They allowed me to obtain bids that I could afford and basically pointed me in the right direction without being taken ...

td8c dozer international

The dozer was not running , burried in the ground ,had to get a large truck with a winch to pull it out . It was a lot of trouble to get it loaded on the step deck trailer but alliance trans. got it done .Those people do not give up ,they will get your job complete no matter what it takes!!!!!!!!

excellent shipping experience

Uship is a fantastic way to ship. Especially for small or new companies, where shipping costs are hurting the budgets. Smartshipping.com was excellent in quick pick up and reasonable price. saved a 150.00 I will use uship all the time. we ship water heaters light but bulky. This is the service for us.

Excellent freight service for 3000# machine

Although there was difficulty in using the uShip service the "help dept" tried it's best to help. They were professional however not quite capable to resolve some issues. The freight company's bidding for the job were more than helpful. The freight company selected, arrived on time for the shipment and much to our chagrin the fork truck that would load the 3000# machine had a break in t ...

Great first experience

I live in the Netherlands and the best underfloor insualtion I could find was made in the states. I spent weeks trying to find an economical way of getting it to europe. I thought sea frieght was the only viable option but still the quotes I got were more than my insualtion was worth. I stumbled across uship and put up my post. Within a week I had several offers including one that was half of some ...

request bid

the site needs a search engine to find vendors by their screen name to send them bid request. if the site has one already where is it?

My first uShip deal really worked! My big Dodge tanker was hauled 1,300 miles with no problems.

I needed to find a trucker to haul a big Dodge D800 tandem tanker (not running) bought from the Forestry Service (GSA)from Oklahoma to Virginia, some 1,300 miles and it needed to be moved in less than one week. I established my profile and listed my shipment. In less than an hour I had my first quote and 24 hours later I had done the deal with one of three good quotes. The truck was picked up t ...
