Totally Awesome Delivery of Antique Cedar Chest

My wife asked me to build her a cedar chest for Christmas.  Right!  I did look into cost of materials and expected time to build.  Would have invested over $500 in time/materials to get it done and probably ended up with something that looked like Bob the Builder's apprentice made it.  So, I started looking for one at furniture dealers.  Except for the junk that you p ...

BAD SHIPMENT GOOD CARRIER

WE WERE UNCERTAIN OF THE ACTUAL SHIPMENT SIZE. CARRIER WENT IN AND PICKED THIS UP, AND DELIVERED ON OUR SCHEDULE SO AS TO MEET LABOR AT DESTINATION.

First time user

Had two shipments to go to two different states. Got bids immediately and shipped within 2 weeks. Both gave great service. Always available for questions. This site is incredible and haven't stopped talking about it ;and recommending it to everyone. Keep up the good work and I look forward to future shipping Linda Dickens

Great experience shipping furniture

Joe moved some old furniture (dresser, rocking chair, table&chairs) for a child's room. I posted my request on Monday and had a bid from Joe within a few hours. His bid was the middle price out of three- but the other two bids clearly came from bigger companies (where pick-up and delivery times were less firm). Joe & Son are lovely people and moved our furniture in a careful and timely manner. I w ...

Furniture arrived beautifully

This was a great experience I bought furniture on e-bay and I had to pay to ship it myself.  I heard about u-ship from the seller.  This was such an easy way to get bids and find the one that was best for me for my time line and my price range.  Thank you u-ship for a stress free experience this was fantastic.

Great Experience with small shipment

I had a small family heirloom (child's kitchen cupboard) that I needed shipped from Colorado to Iowa before the holidays.  I stumbled on uShip from a Google search, registered, and posted my request.  I got three bids and ended up connecting up with a newly registered shipper (PremoDelivery) who hauls campers out of Indiana and returns with space in his extended cab truck, truck bed, and ...

First Time User

This was my first UShip experience and the service I received from my shipper far exceeded my expectations. Uship made it easy to get quotes, choose a shipper and complete the transaction. I will definately be back.

Red solfa goes north

I bought an 8' long couch on Ebay. I thought I would be able to get it from Hollywood, Florida to my home in northern Florida. But my pickup truck had gone north with my husband. I couldn't find a reasonably priced cargo van and to rent a small truck would still be 60 cents/mile which would have been about $400, plus my time AND gas. All of my pickup truck friends were using their trucks this week ...

Great experience shipping my clock

I am a veterinarian and when I entered vet school, my father bought a grandfather clock. He even had my name put on a plaque and put on the front of the clock. He always said "someday that clock will be yours". I remember falling asleep in that house and listening to the beautiful chimes of the clock. Well,  "someday" unfortunately came and I had to figure out a way to move my favorite clock. ...

Living Room furniture delivered on time and in perfect condition

I had living room furniture (couch, love seat, corner table, lamp and swivel rocker) picked up by Earl with USAshipping4less in Kilgore, TX and shipped to Andover Twp, NJ.  The bid stated that he would pick up the furniture on or before 11/8 and was actually picked up on 11/7.  Delivery for between 11/16 and 11/23 was made on 11/17.  Despite the nasty weather and flooding that came ...

First-Class moving experience

I was moving from Fla to DC and could not be in Fla for the pick-up.  Mr. Fields adjusted his schedule, went into my apartment, took apart my furniture and stored it for me.  2 days before my furniture was to be delivered my roommate in Maryland asked if on his way to our new condo would he mind picking up her furniture and moving it.  He met us at her old apartment in Maryland and ...

Family Heirlooms

We recently moved to a new house in Tampa Florida and some of our old furniture did not fit or was not going to work out in our new space.  One piece in particular was a oak desk that had been hand crafted by my brother.  My new house had a built in desk and the piece was really too large to put into a bedroom, yet I couldn't bear to part with it.  I also couldn't bear to ...

BGW47 kept his cool, even when the cops came.

I was having a dining room table and chairs delivered to Milwaukee from just outside of Cleveland. The whole experience went very smoothly. Except, when our deliverers, BGW47 got into town early, they called to see if I would like the table delivered that night, instead of waiting til the next morning, which I thought was sweet as they knew I was excited to get it. I was downtown and wou ...

I was able to get my antique furniture thanks to UShip!

My mother had my great grandmothers furniture in her possesion.  It is a loveseat, rocking chair, and a chair bought in the early 1800's.  I always liked the set while growing up and she told me I could have it someday.  Well my parents were ready to have me take the furniture, but I live in Utah and they live in Missouri.  We couldn't fit the pieces into our car and renti ...

super job shipping my desk

Santiago did a wonderful job shipping my desk from Pennsylvania to Las Vegas!  I had been trying to get it shipped for a year.  He did it at my requested price and got it here fast and in great condition.  I would highly recommend him and I would use his services again. 

Shipping a loom turned out to be easy!

I have moved around the world at least three times, but shipping a single large item seemed more difficult.  Then, I found uship.  I entered a description of my item and within two weeks, the loom was in my possession half way across the country.  Professional movers made a prompt bid and then a prompt delivery, it was the easiest move I've ever had.

Great experience shipping my couch

After a death in my family, my mover was very understanding and had no problem shipping at another time convenient fo me- how professional and curteous! "Erie3" aka Gary, had outstanding service, with constant phone calls prior to and at pick up location. Once he arrived in NYC with the couch, I still can't believe he was able to take that huge thing and move it up a narrow NYC apartment staircase ...

Drew finally has his bed!

My son moved to Myrtle Beach, SC from NY in May.  He could only take a few small items with him, so that meant NO BED!  I tried unsuccessfully two other times to ship his larger items down to him, but things didn't work out.  Either the shipper had vehicle trouble or they just didn't show up.  After communicating with Jessica from Uship, I decided to give it one more ...

Happy all around!

Great experience shipping old family dining room furniture from NJ to FL w/ uShip's Oasis Transport.  That says it all!  Good price, nice people, timely and no damage to anything included in the load.  Can't beat it with a stick!!  We'll use this service again!

family heirlooms passed along

It was time for a couch and overstuffed chair to make their way to another sister. This furniture was our grandparents and has lived many different upholstered lives- in any incarnation- it shows up every year in Christmas photos: from my mothers childhood to eventually her grandsons'. I live in Seattle and I needed to get the items down to San Diego with about 10 days notice. I was new to USH ...

Fast Table Shipment

Shipped drop leaf table and chairs from Phoenix to Pittsburgh.  Pick up done on time on a Saturday morning.  Did not know help would be needed, but all went well.  Items arrived Monday evening.  One chair scratched and one gouged.  Santiago handled issue very professionally.  Communicated consistently and followed through on what he said.  He should have done a b ...

Wonderful, stressfree shipping of fragile furniture items

There are furniture items that my husband inherited from his grandmother years ago (all antiques); and for years his sister has been keeping them because we have not had a way (that was not ridiculously expensive) to get them to our home.  My husband is in the military and we have never lived anywhere long enough or close e ...

Furniture Shipment

LOWCOSTMOVES gave me the best price on several pieces of furniture I purchased in Georgia and needed to have shipped to Phoenix.  They delivered it four days after they picked it up.  Everything was well protected with pads and there was no damage.  I would definitely use them again.

Our shipping experience was great!

Our shipping experience was great! On time, excellent movers, items perfect--no damage. Will definitely use again!

Got the Job Done

Todd, "the trucker guy" picked up a very expensive piece of furniture ($17,640.00) that I had borrowed for a designer show house to benefit the Audubon Society.  It needed to be returned to the NYC show room, and despite numerous problems (weather, engine failure, his daughters birthday plans) he got the job done within the time frame we had discussed.  He was professional, communicated ...

Great experience shipping my sectional

My sectional couch and two ottomons were shipped from Los Angeles to Detroit.  The price beat competitors by hundreds of dollars.   When they say door to door they mean it.  They picked up my sectional from a fourth floor apartment in LA and delivered it directly to my great room in Michigan.  It was wrapped very well and it great condition.  The delivery gu ...

Fourth time's the charm...

I found Uship online and thought it was a great idea!  People post what they need shipped and get bids from different companies.  My first experience with Uship was a very, shall we say, interesting, one, with a positive outcome in the end.  It all started when I found some furniture on Craigslist I wanted to buy.  The furniture was in San Francisco and I am in Portland. I post ...

Uship is a great find for us. We got our target price and were off to the races.

We had a loveseat and barstools we bought in IN and had to get them to CA.  We were afraid we werent going to be able to do it.  Then we found Uship and what a find.  Within a day we had a way to get our things.  Larry was great, he has a huge truck, so big that when he went to the sleepy little town in IN to pick up, his truck drew the neighbors and police.  He pulled his ...

My experience was Great!

I used UShip for the first time to resolve a problem. How to get my wife's Mother's China Cabinet from her sister's house in MD. to our house in FL. None of the over-the-road freight lines would touch it. It was too big to ship UPS or other package freight. I discovered UShip by Googling "Shipping". I'm so very glad I did. Our service provider handled the Cabinet as if it was his own, delive ...

Best shippers in the US!

My Grandmother was recently moved out of the small-town Iowa home she'd been in for 63 years into a nursing home. As you can imagine, that house held not only thousands of wonder-filled memories for me & my entire family, but also tons of furniture. I left Iowa twenty (*cough*)-some years ago and just set down permanent roots in California.  Getting some of her pieces ...

Great experience shipping my piano and mattress

We had a great experience working with a U-Ship provider.  His price was half to one-third of anything else we found.  He was professional, timely, and everything arrived in perfect condition.

Good job keeping me up to date with the goods being on its way

Outstanding delivery time. Appreciate the extra effort placed during bad weather in making the delivery on time.

Spine Moving: A pleasure to do business with!!!

Spine Moving did a fabulous job! I posted a bid request for moving an antique bed with U-ship on a very last minute basis. Spine Moving replied a mere 12 hours later and presented a very inexpensive bid including a thorough detailing of options available for the move. Not only did they come through on extremely short notice, they followed through with friendly commmunication. Did I mention the ...

Great Carrier

I think I said it all in my feedback. This carrier is great. Adamantine Spine Moving from, Iowa City, IA did the finest job at th ...

This was my 2nd shipping experience with American Freight. Price was right both times.

I would use American Freight again.

Small job treated like a full-load customer

We were shipping a very small load - just a TV and dresser. Our shipper treated us like we were paying for an entire truck load. The msolutions person could not have been more helpful. He had another customer change an order on his trip, affecting his schedule, but he still accommodated us without a misstep. He made his pick-up right on schedule and arrived ahead of schedule at ...

His word was good.

Delivering our tall clock from Indiana to Washington, his truck hit 2 deer in the dark roads, yet he managed to have his truck repaired and still worried about being on time. He called to say he would be one day late. We are just thrilled with this kind of honesty and character in a person. Clock arrived in perfect condition and he handled it as he would a gold plated one. thanks Tim.

Love Seat Sofa

I easily found the uship website upon completing a google search for companies that ship large items.  I had a small loveseat that I wished to ship to a family member, weighing only about 40#.  I had called local trucking a ...

Cheaper than U Haul without the hassle.

Cheaper than U Haul, Ryder, Budget.

What a Wonderful Service!

Bill and Bob, retired military, moved my houshold goods for me last week that had been in storage for over 4 years.   They were fast, efficiant, and did it for less then half what other shippers were quoting.  They even made the smart decision and left a couch behind that a rat had been living in!! We appreciated it, since we didn't really need a new family member at this time :)&nb ...

Great experience

Moving our bookcases with Moving Solutions was a very pleasant experience. Greg Howard, the owner was in touch with us every step of the way, and despite some unforseen delays, was able to meet our deadline. We recommended him to a friend the day of our delivery.

Good reliable job shipping

Shipper was easy to access, did everything he said he would, exactly when he said he would.  Furniture arrived in pristine condition.  Great job and headache-free.

Great service shines with good problem recovery

Everything about the service seemed too good to be true ...the friendly communication, the price, the additional items included at the original price, the prompt pickup, the scheduled delivery. Then the delivery crew complained they needed an extra man to carry the sofa up the flight of stairs, resulting in a return delivery a week later and an extra charge. My son had to again cut out of work to ...

Knight moves says the day

We were having a terrible time finding someone to bring our bed from GA to NM.  We made a match and then the people were not upholding there end of the deal which made it seem that we would never find someone who would actually bring us the bed.  We lost out on money to the first try due to them not wanting to keep contact or follow through.  Mr. Knight came in and bid and saved the ...

First Time Use, Great Experience!

I purchased a watchmaker's bench, about a 100 lb piece of furniture from Palm Beach FL and had no idea how to get it to the Tampa area when I ran across uShip.  With in 2 hours after listing the item I had 3 contacts with a very low bid for transporting the item.  My experience with the shipper was great; quality shipping at a great price.  Thanks uShip.  George Mandalou

Great Driver -- Great Experience

At first I was reluctant to use this service, but let me tell you, if you are considering it........the driver who delivered my shipment from Stanfordville ...

Great uShip Experience

I want to encourage the use of not only uShip, but the contact BUFFALOPACKANDSHIP and the driver that was used to transport an heirloom rug. The search overwhelmed me as to how I would get this accomplished - but thanks to a search and finding uShip I was able to accomplish my goal.

Every step was awesome and I got my rug shipped with expertise and in the most t ...

2 Items for transport

My family was cleaning out our parents' home and the only things let were a piano and desk that belonged to me, 350 miles away. My brother told me about uShip after I reserved a rental truck. I promptly got bids on uShip and cancelled the truck. The move worked out beautifully. Ted Nachbar delivered both pieces to me within days of the bid, at the exact time scheduled, and for a very reasonabl ...
