Mother's Desk

My mother was downsizing and moving to a condo. She had an old desk and offered it to me. The moving company she was using was going to charge $1000.00 to ship from Mississauga, ON to Calgary, AB. I thought this price was ridiculous and happened on the uShip website. I thougt, "what do I have to lose?" I received several bids all under $500, selected one and put my faith in them.

Difficulty in the Details

We heard about UShip through a friend of a friend and thought it was a great way to save some money moving from Vancouver to Calgary. The concept of UShip is great but when it comes down to the details we could have simply booked a moving company for the same price...i think. We had only three weeks until our move and tried our very best to estimate all of our household items to move in order to ...

Our experience with uShip.

We had moved from Maui to Arizona and needed our belongings -- minus our furniture which we had sold -- to get to Saskatchewan. We were fortunate to get the goods via a friend as far as Boise, Idaho. We posted an auction on uShip.com with an estimate of dimensions and weight. Tim of MoonlightTransport sent us an email, put in a bid and brought us our goods in the time frame we had agreed on. ...

Freezer shipment

Truck was not big enough. Freezer had to be laid on its side. This made freezer inoperable for twenty four hours. Freezer has to reset. All frozen food would not be fit for sale that accompanied it.

king size bed shipment

Had a king size bed set shipped from Oakville to Edmonton. Everything went exactly as planned, no delays. Driver was very friendly and helpful, took the time to help me load the items onto my vehicle and helped me secure the load.

Family Heirlooms Find a New Home

My parents recently gave me some heirloom pieces of furniture that I looked forward to putting in my home. The only problem was, the furniture was in Ottawa and I live in Saskatoon. I found UShip online while trying to find a shipper who would bother with such a small load and it was the answer to all my problems. John's bid was the most reasonable, he was efficient and friendly, and the furnit ...

John Deere 420 Tractor

I purchased a JD 420 Tractor from a gentlemen in Connecticut and only heard about UShip after I'd won the tractor on Ebay. My brother in law told me about it, I was reluctant actually but now that I've been through my first successful shipment, I am totally impressed by how easy and professional it was. My tractor arrived on time, and it was exactly how it looked when it left Connecticut. My ...

Delivery of dining room suite

I was overwhelmed with the number of local carriers to call in order to find a reasonable rate to have my partial load shipped. Uship took away all of the effort of contacting various carriers. I merely had to describe my needs and the available carriers that met my needs came to me. Couldn't be easier!

Shipping AC and Tires

Had a great experience with sourcing different vendors and getting a variety of bids. The reviews were really helpful in choosing not only the cheapest but the best person for the job. Will definitely use this service again in the future.

Montreal to Calgary

My brother and I were shipping items from my mother's apartment in Montreal to us in Calgary. She was recently put into long term care; a very emotional time for us all. We decided we were shipping a painting, a buffet, vacuum, stemware, occasional table. Not knowing how to do this I immediately went to google to search for independent shippers while my brother was already in Montreal selling the ...

Adjustable bed from Montreal to Toronto

This was my first time using uship.I was moving a bed from 1 senior home to another and wanted to keep the costs low. The Uship website was easy and straightforward and helped us to save on the shipment. My service provider (herc68) Archie and his assistant were excellent. Archie kept in touch letting me know when the item would be delivered. He carefully wrapped the bed and also set it up upon d ...

I was shipping a kids snowmobile as a surprise for my 3yr old son....

I wanted to have the snowmobile hauled to my parents place, this was the first time I had used Uship. I recieved multiple bids after many declined bids from the service providers I requested bids from. I got a good bid from a shipper with no feedback, but a nice profile so I gave him a chance. This experiance was great for me. The shipper had a great timeline, great comminication....I would de ...

Amazing experience shipping my artwork

I'm a Canadian Artist and for the first time I had been asked by a gallery in Phoenix, AZ to ship 9 pieces of my bas-relief paintings to their gallery. Great news, until I started investigating shipping options - what a nightmare! The prices were huge and the service unexceptional, I nearly gave up and almost called the gallery back to cancel, when I stumbled upon UShip. Within minutes I had my ...

Delivery of a pair of loveseats.

Terry was on time for picking up the product and delivered on time as estimated. Unfortunately the furniture manufacturer made an error with the set and they had to go back. Terry was more than willing to supply his services again, which meant he hauled them back and was going to hold onto them over the weekend and he made arrangements with another driver to bring them to the manufacturer on Monda ...

Second time's a charm

After my first try fell through, I decided to try uship one more time. Thankfully xtremedriver63 came through for me and I got my furniture delivered safely at a reasonable price. Thanks to Ken, I am a happy customer.

Shipping furniture

The whole process from start to finish was great. We were able to ship items from Victoria to Calgary quickly and for a reasonable cost. I would use and recommend uship to anyone. It is a valuable service.

Excellent cross-border experience

I shipped various household goods and a couple of high-end bikes from Vancouver, BC to SE Florida. The price was very good and the cross-border aspect went flawlessly. Will definitely use UShip in the future for all such needs.

Helped me find the mover I was looking for!

Just when I was getting frustrated with all the big-box moving companies with their big-box quotes, I stumbled upon UShip after a google search. UShip has a great interface, and it was easy for me to not only receive offers on my move, but to seek out and find a mover I KNEW I wanted to work with. Their rating system works great, and you're pretty much guaranteed a good experience. Thanks f ...

Jetsai68 was professional and trustworthy.

I was shipping a family heirloom rocking chair from a relatives storage in Victoria to Calgary. The ad I posted on uship generated a quote within 48 hours. Even though jetsai68 was a vehicle carrier, they offered to wrap and protect the chair as part of their quote. The communication level was exceptional and I felt comfortable trusting James with this important (to me) item. I could not have bee ...

We use uShip to move a rocking chair to Calgary for my Granddaughter. The service was excellent and cost effective. Would use uShip again.

Excellent experience shipping furniture and boxes to Whitehorse

My daughter and her husband recently moved to Whitehorse and I wanted to ship them some furniture and household items from Toronto.

Fast No Hassle Service

My mom sold her condo and needed us to clear out her things in a short time frame to meet a tight closing date. I was able to find someone to move her things quickly and with a lot less hassle than if I had tried to move things myself. Ross Berglund handled my things with care and delivered them quickly. I was pleased with the service. Rebecca

I had a great experience shipping my atv. Nice smooth transaction and I will let everyone know that uship is the way to ship!

I have restored muscle cars in the past and now into equipment at least you can save a lot of work turning a key and pushing some leavers I like the rundown stuff mines well rip it all apart and start fresh after it's money in the bank I call it forced inflation.

Great Experience shipping our MGO Panels

UShip is a great resource for our Company to access competitive freight quotes for new destinations.

I was shipping a large baptismal tank for our new church. Using uShip was alot easier than I thought, and I saved ALOT of money doing it that way! My service provider was fantastic - he was helpful, courteous, friendly, prompt and went out of his way to deliver my item at a low cost to me. I would definitely use uShip again! Thanks for the great service!

A perfect shipping experience

I was new to uShip but figured I'd post my household goods just to get a quote. In the process I met Rick from Mr. T's Moving. He charged me a fair price and gave me way better service than I could have ever hoped for.

Uship

Easy to use, would use again, great if you have no idea how to ship a personal item or piece of furniture between cities because it saves you the hours it would take to get quotes from all different moving companies and gives you access to movers who may not have websites otherwise.

TO - MTL Household furnitue

The driver was great! very fast, efficient and friendly! Items were intact, including 2 glass tables. Was a great experience in the end :) Note that, although it is listed under the "moving company" category, the company does not provide moving services, but rather shipping services. So only one driver is sent with the truck. If you have a few heavier items, better get some help with getting ...

Shipped a large leather chair and ottoman

Had a just these two items to move from Calgary to Vancouver. Weather through the mountains was very bad but inspite of that they arrived safe and sound within the timeframe expected. The cost was competitive against other alternatives, even after we left a modest gratuity.

Shipping a combination safe over the border

Ive been trying to get a safe shipped over the border fro 3 months now. With Sal123 it was very easy. as soon as I accepted the bid I received a call to arrange the details of the shipping.

Moving across the country

This was such a great and affordable way to ship my entire household from Windsor ontario to Edmonton Alberta. I'm so glad I stumbled across this site. Moving companies were quoting me $6000! I had my entire household items shipped for $2800!

One hiccup

Unfortunately I was speedy in my communication while holding my baby and accidentally left my contact number that raised a red flag. Sorry.

Excellent experience

I can only give a rave review for John from Sunshine Acres. Everything from a to z went smoothly including getting my furniture over a huge snowbank and nary a scratch on anything. I highly and happily would and will recommend his services to anyone. Thanks to U-ship otherwise I would have never had the pleasure to deal with such a caring and honest company!

2 Large Aquariums

I saved hundreds of dollars booking my move through uShip. I needed to move 2 large and very heavy aquariums (150G and 225G with matching stands) to my home that I had purchased from a seller 2 hours away. Every quote I had received prior to trying uShip was between $500-$1200. Through uShip I was able to secure a Service Provider for $140, saving me great deal of money. I found the site and s ...

My Jeep was in the bodyshop to repair damage that was done to it when I rolled it. One item I needed was a new hardtop.

My first u-ship experience

I purchased a commercial vacuum on ebay. I had no idea how to get it from Calgary to Toronto. I remembered watching shipping wars and logged into u-ship. Overall I had a great experience and would recommend u-ship to others. My only advice to u-ship is this: when I logged in with my pc I had to lower my security settings to its lowest level to do business there. This was a cookie based problem ...
