"George" has been on our wall above the piano, watching over our family and guests for years. When my parents decided it was time to move from Winnipeg, George (the mounted moose head that my father had hunted) had to move too. His new home? My brother's new hunting/fishing outfitting store in Kelowna - a perfect fit, except, he wouldn't be walking there on his own... Where do you even begin? Our 200-pound, full rack, bearded mascot would need crating, most companies told us, and this would be a task in itself. We put up an ad on uShip and luckily got a bid from a shipper with an oversized, covered cargo van. This made our day; no crate required and George could ride comfortably protected from any snow or rain. Our shipper got George to Kelowna in record time and he now has a new view over the gun rack at Grouse River Outfitters. Thanks to uShip we managed to simplify George's travels and get him halfway across the country faster than any four legs could run.
