transporting double mattress from Walsall to London

I received a quick response after contacting uShip from 6 service providers with various price offers. I accepted one and was delighted with the service given. ...kept in constant contact. ...Was considerate to my time. ...Arrived at time arranged. ...was pleasant and courteous. ...Handled my goods with care and respect. ...Treated the recipients of the delivery with the same considerat ...

Luton to London

I purchased a washing machine from ebay but was concerned about the cost of delivery as it was in Luton and had to be delivered to London. I made enquiries and found myself right to be so as the prices given were quite ridiculous. I discovered the uShip website and it drew my interest as the service put the delivery up for auction to many couriers and gave me an informed choice. Scott (the co ...

Vintage sofa and armchair

My items were collected and delivered on the arranged date and I was kept updated on the progress. The delivery was about an hour later than expected, but the driver was extremely helpful about getting the furniture into the house, even though it was heavy and awkward to move.

Good and then not so good ...

Good couriers, collected items on time and delivered on time. BUT agreed to collect another item of mine and let me down badly. Wouldn't answer calls which led to time wasting and embarrassed me as the seller needs the item collected. Caused a big delay. If you change your mind in regards to a delivery then SAY it .... playing deaf or dumb is not good business.

Toilet in 3 boxes

Bought from a private seller. Needed a courier to collect at a specific time, and deliver to a different part of the country. Uship was cheaper than all the big delivery firms, and I could deal with an individual to make arrangements that suited us both.

Harmonium

An ancient musical instrument which was transported with care from a quite new service provider to uShip. In all aspects the service was of the highest possible standards and at a very reasonable cost. I have used uShip several times and every time they have been excellent and saved me money. In this case 50% less than a courier I used to use on a regular basis and the overall service was consid ...

POOR USHIP SERVICE, GREAT COURIER

I don't understand how Uship can charge the fees that they do, when they don't provide anything for it. My courier had none of the details, I had to ring him. So, what exactly do Uship provide for the money they take from me? I await a response with interest.....

Swansea to Kent

Its a long way - and I didnt think I could cost effectively ship my rather heavy item all the way. But I found a great guy and got great service on ship. The ease with which it worked - I shall be going for more things that require collection and normally I wouldnt buy. Great idea and Great Service

Moving a double divan bed - unfairly red flagged

I received bids ranging from £300 to £50 for this shipment. I wanted to accept the £50 bid immediately as it represented very good value. Opened the uShip form, booked it and assumed I could go back in when my vendor sent through the address and contact telephone numbers. Paid the booking/auction fee to uShip. Could not re-access the uShip form and no details to contact my service provider w ...

Transporting a bed

Need to be able to get back into the booking form and not be closed out then red flagged for including telephone number in the email to service provider. One of the least user friendly data collection websites I've used as it does not allow any options and is unforgiving unless you operate it exactly as demanded

Victorian Double Bed

Excellent experience with this courier, he was polite, communicated well and took great care of my bed. Would highly recommend

Ebay garden furniture

Won lovely set of garden table and chairs on ebay but had to get them picked up from Solihull and delivered to Devon. Received a few quotes from 2 van drivers but decided on Stas as he had made the most deliveries up to this date and had very good feedback. I was not disappointed - he picked up the furniture and table very quickly and the items arrived on my doorstep before I expected. I foun ...

Just one happy customer

I have and will keep recommending UShip, I have used three times now and have no complaints, been in logistics for years, wish this had been around some years ago ....

Good experience. Will use again.

I tried to get a small chest of drawers in our BMW boot and to much laughter from my husband it wouldn't fit! So told my son sorry not to be able to bring it. Thought I would just see if there was anything on line. Saw the uShip site and couldn't believe how quickly it took to find a courier to pick up the furniture and deliver within two hours. Excellent service and it arrived safe and sound. ...

CHEST OF DRAWERS

Ian WOODY was extremely helpful, polite and courteous. He kept me informed about the collection of my chest of drawers, together with his expected time of arrival from start to finish. Ian is a thoroughly nice guy, someone in which one could place trust and I would have no hesitation in recommending/using him again in the future.

Great experience of transportation

I bought a large hifi cabinet/sideboard from an auction house in Devon. I found uShip through google and put in a bid for transportation. The transporter I accepted a bid from was marvellous, kept me informed, delivered on time and transported the furniture safely. Do check uShip fees though - they were added on to the quote by uShip when it was accepted and I went to pay! Otherwise, a handy ...

Bed shipment

This was the first time I had used you ship but Rick, my service provider was really helpful so I had no problems at all. uShip made the bed I wanted to buy affordable so couldn't be more happy. Thank you uShip and thank you Rick for making it such an enjoyable stress free experience :)

Fast connection with transporters.

I use a number of transport companies, to transport various pieces of furniture. On this occasion unhip was first off the mark high level of contacts very quickly. Thank you PFM.

Cooker delivery to Poland

Wanted a decent range cooker for my Manor House renovation in Poland. Bought a 2nd hand one on ebay. 120KGs but it was all sorted effortlessly and arrived undamaged and at a great price. Will be using the service again, Thanks!

Dining table and chairs

Dining table and chairs to be transported from Scotland to Wales after sale on Gumtree. It was easier than I thought it would be to organise shipment, very reasonable price quoted by carrier considering the distance to be covered.I would be confident to use this carrier again. Buyer in Wales was very pleased with delivery time too.

chair delivered from London to France.

The chair was delivered perfectly. But I didn't know when I accepted the bid that they were just the intermediate shipper and in fact just arranged my shipment through TNT shipping. It was confusing but everything made it there and on time. There was also a few emails sent after I accepted the bid that were a bit messy and confusing.

Good price, job done well in the end.

The chairs were delivered in good condition and the driver was very helpful when unloading and moving them. There were some communication problems - the sellers were expecting the chairs to be collected on a particular day and waited in, but they were actually collected the following day. Scott was communicative, but his messages weren't always clear.

Uship experience

I really enjoyed the fact that I didn't have to do the job myself but it was done professionally and at a good price. I would recommend uship

Lawnmower Deliverty

Courier was good and much cheaper that a regular courier. Pick up was swift but I experienced some delay with delivery. Not sure where I would stand if it never got delivered. Onus seem to be on the customer rather than uship. Uship take a large deposit that they seem to keep. Not sure the suppliers get a great deal from uship

My first U Ship Experience

Great that you link in with ebay. Makes shipping from one end of the country to the other very easy and you can select your driver based on a bidding system which is excellent. I didn't realise that my messages to my driver went on a public forum so other prospective drivers could see my comments, could you make this clearer on the website? I would also like the opportunity to remove any commen ...

dining room table

I bought a dining room table on ebay and after trying to figure out how to pick it up I posted it on uship and within a day found someone to pick up and delivery expediately.

Very satisfied

We will definitely use uship in the future. This is an ideal way to find delivery companies. Reviews go such a long way to deciding whether or not to use someone and to assess if they are able to give the best service. Thank you Uship

Edwardian Cabinet

This courier takes great care of items, he gets the job done quickly and at a competitive price. He is friendly, communicates very well and is fast. I would not hesitate to recommend him and use him again. I am really pleased with the service we have received from him. Thank you very much for all your help. Sarah.

Third time useing UShip

They say third time lucky, well used UShip three times and VERY HAPPY EVERY TIME, Will recommend - give them a try 100% Pros UShip leave you in control of how and who you would like to ship for you. Cons at this time NONE....

Conclusion: This is good.

It's a cheap system, the downside is that the guys have to carry as many things as they can to make it worthwhile. But since the deals are good, then the punter has to be patient I guess, otherwise use another service and pay three times more. Conclusion: This is good.

House move - UK to Germany

Really simple concept that helped take the stress away from our relocation to Germany. Excellent through-out !!!

Murphy fold down bed delivery from Blackburn to Hemel Hempstead

Overall a good experience using uShip. The service provider was prompt, efficient and friendly. I found the uShip site a bit confusing to use - in terms of how to look at messages sent etc. (A lot of imagery/info on one page made it difficult to navigate.) I also think uShip should make the fees payable on top of the quotation much clearer from the start. Having said all that, I would u ...

collecting e bay purchase

I have used u ship 3 times now and have had very positive experiences. This time I had purchased a rocking chair on e bay and needed it picking up in London and delivering to me in N Wales. The whole process was easy and I was able to use the e bay photo in my listing so bidders could see the item BRILLIANT. I have told lots of people about u ship and will certainly use again.

An Aga cooker from Exminster to York

Buying large items on e-bay is OK if you have a reliable courier like Automate 1. I shall be buying more items on ebay with the knowledge that size, weight or distance isnt a problem

Scottsrus

First class service, couldn't fault Scott in any way, polite, curteous, punctual, communication excellent. I am new to U ship, I didn't understand how Scott could book the job, without me choosing him, but nevertheless, it was excellent service. Your help section is not very explanatory, there is no contact number to ring for advice. Scott did his best to explain things, said that it was ...

sofa & chair pick-up & delivery.

Pick-up & delivery about 102 miles. Items needed to be picked up at an established time and Mike ensured that this was prompt. Everything went well despite it being a difficult sofa to negotiate into my home. Very pleased

Timely delivery

I bought what I thought was a double mattress topper of ebay, it was a bargain, £40 when the magnetic mattresses retail at nearly £1000. The only problem was that the seller was leaving the country in a week and in that time I was on holiday. I could nto collect and could not work out how to solve the problem. The seller mentioned uship and I set it up and got lots of quotes but my intuitio ...

Chest of Drawers

I had been seeking such an item for the past 5 years and not found it in London. There was no doubt that it would be expensive to transport it, but worth the time and expense. The person at UShip contacted me within 5 minutes and arrangements were made. He was pleasant and reassuring, especially because it was the first time I had successfully bid for the item at Ebay and was using Paypal for the ...

An ancient reed organ

After experiencing one of the worst experiences ever with another service provider who did not turn up and refused to communicate with any of us including UShip. I urgently had to find someone else to do the job as the seller of the item was moving house. At very short notice I had a new quote from one of the best and most helpful couriers in the country. From the outset of accepting his quote ...

Furniture in Kent

Bought large and heavy chest of draws that I had to have delivered over 100 miles. After looking at several sites, went on Uship.and started an auction. I was pleasantly surprised at how user friendly the site was. It took me only 5 minutes, certainly a much better, quicker and smoother experience than your main stream courier firms. I use the auction service as needed a good quote. Once aga ...

An item of furniture

We had been let down by another transporter from another website who, after over two weeks, eventually refused to deliver our Edwardian tea trolley. We changed web site and Barry contacted us straight away with a very reasonable bid. He promised to deliver it in just over two days and he certainly kept his word. He maintained contact throughout, answering all our enquiries in record time in a poli ...

Great Experience

We are a furniture shop that delivers all over the world, so instead of having to contact several companies ourselves it was very easy to sign up, put out a request, then sit back and wait for the quotes to come back, the service was hassle free, convenient, and most of all worth while. Wayne

Red Sofa

Wanted surprise for my son as he was on holiday in France with school, came across red reclining sofa by chance on ebay, not at all what I was looking for, but we just had his room decorated partly red. I was looking for a Lazyboy (like my son) but the red 1 was in London I in Barnsley, rang local chap quoted £180 but he said a courier would be cheaper, some how uship came up on ebay & I was sorte ...

Bicycle Delivery

Hi, very please with service. Originally only bicycle was supposed to be delivered, but seller of the bike throw in some accessories. Spoke with Mick who was very happy to accommodate the delivery of this as well. Happy punter.

POSITIVE EXPERIENCE

FIRST TIME OF USING THIS SERVICE AND WAS IN NEED FOR A QUICK QUOTE TO DELIVER AN ITEM BEING BID ON EBAY. SO PROMPT AND EASY. FELT VERY SECURE TOO

Would definitely use again:)

I won an exercise machine on Ebay and had that dreadful thought of "how the heck is that going to fit in my Fiesta?". My friend recommended USHIP so I thought I would give it a go. I had in mind the amount that I was willing to pay a courier and I'm pleased to say that after a couple of very expensive quotes I finally found one that was within my price range. I had to wait a little while for de ...
