Shippng a crate with artwork to my galley in the US

I am a Canadian artist based in Toronto. Occasionally I need to ship my large scale oil paintings, framed, to my dealer in SF. I built this crate that was 88"x60"x16" to put 6 large painting inside. Through Uship I was able to accept a bid from Jones LTL who are brokers for several carriers. The carrier in this case was YRC inc. The driver who picked up the crate was very experienced, he was able ...

Great service

I'm so glad I came across Uship. It's a great service and you guys are doing a great job. Keep it up. Cheers.

First time using U-Ship

Loader bucket shipped from Eastern USA to Western Canada. Service provider VERY patient with a newbee and provided second to none service. Price to ship was very reasonable. The U-Ship process was slightly confuseing especially the payment part but Dave got us all sorted out. Thanks

Plasma TV from Florida to Canada.

Having heard many horror stories, on the high end audio and video sites, about the "usual suspects" in the Currier providing field, I reckoned to be worthwhile to throw in an extra $150 and get a potential safer pick up, shipping and delivery or my fragile load (class 300!). I've set my target price at a reasonable level and made a thorough, full description of the merchandise and of my expectati ...

Snomo

Bought a snomobile from the USA. Needed it shipped home, found your website and tried it. Ended up with a great shipper, reasonably priced. Great overall experience.

First time shipment

I had a skid of bulk grain to be shipped from the prairies and as a first time shipment I wasn't sure how everything was going to work out. I couldn't find dry shipment in the time frame I needed but the guys at Diamond Enterprise worked wonders. As they only provide open transport they took the extra care and time to double shrink wrap the pallet and double tarp it. All went well and the shipmen ...

2 Quads

Had 2 quads to come from Calgary to Abbotsford and had a shipper lined up who didn't show in Calgary on morning booked to pick up shipment.He then emailed that he had changed the date and wanted more money.Very bad experience.Then went to Uship and received bid from Lee , booked it and everything went smooth as could be.

Interesting Concept

The Bid system was awesome, and worth waiting a while for a price to come in that your happy with. My crate had some logistical issues, 4 foot by 4 foot by 10 feet long and I wanted it in a covered van. It didnt leave me a lot of options aside from paying someone to pick it up and deliver it alone. This was perfect all worked out as far as the timelines worked. The best advice I can say is wat ...

Niche service

John offers a unique service in that he will move things that are too big for couriers, but are the kind of one-off jobs that the big companies aren't really intetrested in taking on.

Worked great and saved me a very long drive and alot more expense

I bought a set of cultivators from 3300kms away from where I live and was able to get them home without too much expense

Successful move from toronto to pei

we shipped our household goods from Toronto to PEI (our new home). uShip was discovered while i was sourcing out quotations. I found uShip was easy to use and the accepted bid price was much less than what other movers were charging. i saved about $2000. John gave such excellent service, he arrived promptly and helped us move our stuff. he took the time to make sure everything was done ver ...

A bit of an adventure.

Using uShip is extremely easy and straight forward. I was able to list my shipment and accept a bid from a provider within a day of listing. Unfortunately, shortly after picking up my ATV, the provider was in a traffic accident and unable to continue with the shipment. After that I re-listed accepted bids and and subsequently canceled with two other providers that were either non-responsive aft ...

Large box delivered from AB to ON

A large box was delivered by the shipper as promised. No problems. They did exactly what was promised.

couch transport

This was our first time using uShip to find transportation for some furniture and it was a very positive experience. We will certainly use them again if the need arises and definitely will recommend them to friends.

Shipment to Canada

They were the least expensive (they are shipping brokers). I had to do quite a bit of phoning to get updates and PRO numbers and other information pertaining to the transport of the shipment. I would consider using them again.

Silver Lining in Cross Country Move

My partner and I were moving from Vancouver to Toronto for graduate school. We'd been living in Vancouver for six years. In that time, we'd managed to create for ourselves an expansive library and an otherwise comfortable little domestic space. We are quite attached to our belongings, so we began sourcing movers and cost estimates. Well, I very quickly became disenchanted, having read horror stori ...

Joyner buggy

Like I said, we had a few bumps along the way but Sam & I worked together & got her done!!!! I will not hesitate to use Sam's services in the future

race kart

My 14 yr old son had to attend a National level race event in Quebec, the challenge was for us to get all our racing supplies there in time. local shipping companies costed more, and could not guarantee meeting our schedule. Hugo (Cargo trax) offered a fair price and delivery date was acceptable. desopite a few setbacks on initial pick up ( it took three trucks to finally get the right one to lift ...

A very good experience

u-ship made it simple and easy to ship goods across Canada. Will use this service again when needed. Barry

Moving Furniture across the Country

This is a great site! I needed to move a furniture set across the country as inexpensively as possible. I posted my request on U-Ship and had a few offers within the week.

shipping a vintage mini bike across Canada

It was my first time using U-ship but it definetly wont be my last. It's a great way to find companies that are able to meet your shipping needs.

RTA Cabinets

RTA cabinets from the King of Prussia in the US to Ontario, Canada. Great experience getting my cabinets quickly and at a great price.

Shipment of Student Desk

This is the first time I used this service and I found it to be quite easy to use and what a great idea. We had a small student desk that we wanted to ship and found this site and gave it a try. The company we chose was amazing, the gentleman was very friendly and he took good care of the desk. I would recommend him and I would definately use USHIP again.

arcade games a success

the shipper packed the games in the 24 foot cube very accuratly and fit everythingg in when i didnt think it would work. arcade games are a challenge to move and for first timers, they did fine.

Freight Center/ U ship ROX

Bought a motor and trans and got it shipped across the country for less than $500.00. It was easy peasy, so easy a child could do it. Provided he had the money. Great communication all the way and no problems on either end. Motor arrived in perfect condition. Honestly I thought I would never be able to get this motor across the country without getting it myself. In the end it cost less than fuel c ...

2011 Snowmobile

found this shipping company through uship. first time using uship. this was a positive experience. rapidhauler got my sled to me in time through all kinds of weather. better than the postal service!!! thanks Rapidhauler

Very pleasent transaction shipping my temperpedic bed!!

I was shipping a king size temperpedic from Kelowna, BC to Surrey, BC. I purchased the mattress from Sears as a cash, as is sale, and so I wasn't able to ship it with the company. I was initially a little reserved about the uship process, but shortly after posting my shipment I started recievinh bids and it very quickly landed on the right price. I think I saved up to a couple of hundred dolla ...

2 snowmobiles

i had 2 snowmobiles to pick up in rhode island and deliver them to canada the site was a good idea to find a person to do the job i find i didnt save mutch but it was less than some big companies.the guys i found on u ship were great.i may use u ship again.

Kubota 326 diesel mower

I was considering puchasing a used mower 1600km from me, but was unsure of the cost of shipping. I received a bid through Uship that made the deal worthwhile. I don't know if I saved money, however I would not have made the purchase otherwise. Besides being very reasonably priced, AutobahnDriving did a great job, delivered right on time, and was very pleasant to deal with. I would definitely use U ...

furniture delivery to Edmonton

Ralph Price and U-Ship provided great service - cost wise and on time. We very much appreciate the service and my daughter in Edmonton received our "family heirloom" furniture which had a fair bit of sentimental value.

Shipped BMW seats from Ontario to Vancouver

First time using this u-ship website, love the concept, had a great experience, will definitely be using u-ship again next time I have large items to be shipped long distances. A++ for u-ship! Boxer2, Ontario, Canada

U ship

I buy and sell a lot of things. Wasn't sure about this site but I gave it a try. I would spend rediculous amounts of money moving things from A to B but now that I've found this site it should make my life a lot easier.

Wonderful experience

I was worried at first about getting my goods shipped across province...but i was amazed at the experience and would definitely not hesitate to use Uship again. Thanks

Shipped a Snowmobile and all worked out great with minimal effort.

Considered shipping my Snowmobile via a regular shipper then realized the cost would be prohibative and the sled would be transferred from truck to truck which would increase the risk of dammage. With UShip, I had several bids with independent shippers which would load and unload only once. I hired ECMoving, had my sled combined with another load (to lower the cost), shipped from Alberta to Queb ...

Pleasantly surprised with how easy this was

After seeing Shipping Wars on TV, I thought what the hell, let's try this. It works, and it works very well. How cool is that?

Shipping cabinet across country

When my mom died in Ontario, I picked one item from her estate--a curved-front china cabinet. The challenge was getting it to to my home in Surrey BC without paying more than the piece is worth. I posted the shipment with uShip and within a week received a very reasonable bid from DPR Trucking. Less than a week after that, the cabinet was safely in my home. Using uShip has been a suprising ...

great service for small loads. The auction fee was a surprise but fair.

Pu the items on for a bid, recieved 3 bids in 2 days. selected the shipper after reading the feedback. all went well. I would use this service again.

Excellent service shipping an old generaL store counter

We ordered a counter from eBay. Jackie came in with a great bid, provided excellent communication and delivered on time and as advertised.

Shipper was the best!

Allen not only shipped with cooperation, service and efficiency, but he went beyond. The item had a broken piece that I know absolutely was done by seller, NOT shipper. Yet this shipper still offered to pay the cost of repair which I refused because I know seller was at fault. I got paypal involved to force seller to pay for damage since he refused at first. But I will not forget that Allen our sh ...

Transport Trailer and ATV

I purchased a trailer and ATV in the states. I placed an add on USHip and within 1 day I had a few bids. I was able to come to a decent price and the trailer and ATV arrived without any issues. I will be using U-Ship in the future.

Shipped my apartment full of stuff across Canada

I moved from Ontario to BC to upgrade my Paramedic skills and after a year And a half i decided to stay in BC. I thought it would be impossible to ship my things, cost effectively but this company made it possible! My things were shipped the day before my birthday, what a fantastic birthday gift! The gentleman who shipped my things was sulking and considerate. Personable company's like this just d ...

Moving to Calgary

Thought it was going to be a huge headache and a tonne of dough. This worked out so well. Happy I found Uship.

You were my only hope!

Having purchased a cute antique couch on eBay I found to my horror that having it shipped from an obscure little town, thousands of miles across the plains & the CAN-USA border, to my place, was not going to be easy. I'm lucky I heard about UShip because none of the big shippers wanted to help. Some said they had no-antiques policies (?maybe because the risk of breakage is too high?) and others on ...

Sausage stuffer shipment

1st time using UShip. This is the best tool available that I have come across. Freight charges ended up being one quarter of the normal cost. Awsome

Great first time experience

When my regular freight broker quoted me a simple job between provinces I almost dropped my purchase. I had seen uShip on Shipping Wars so decided to try it. While I found that the sign-up process took a little while, I appreciated the detail they asked for in order to get a proper quote. The bidding was great and the communication was fantastic. Got an amazing price on the shipment and I couldn't ...

shipping across country

had to send a large amount of boxes economically from ontario to ab.several companies responded to my auction on uship. i picked the guy with the best ratings and communication. everything was picked up on time and efficiently, and delivered in good time. very satisfied.

Easy furniture shipping

We recently used UShip and Classic Transport to move a kitchen table with 5 chairs, a coat rack and a small antique end table from Calgary AB to Victoria BC. We were very impressed with the entire process. We would definitely use their services again and would be happy to recommend both Uship and Classic Transport as a reliable, affordable alternative to traditional shipping methods. Thank you!

First time user

As a first time user I was a little skepticle, but that quickly changed to impressed. The whole process was easy and simple and enjoyed every part of it. I'd gladly recommend the service to anybody and will be using it again. I know that I saved money and the whole pickup and drop off was done within 24hrs of accepting a bid. The shipping company Tricor was also great...Thanks to everyone invo ...
