First time uShip shipper - Sailboat
We found the perfect sailboat but it was on a lake about 100 miles from us. We had names of a couple of local boat haulers. They were hard to reach - had to leave multiple messages. In the meantime, I found the uShip website and posted my boat. I got 2 bids within a day. Both bids were half what the local haulers quoted me. I chose haul4all -they were great to work with. Good communication - ...

Great experience with boat delivery
I heard about uShip from an internet search. It seemed like a leap of faith to have a transporter you connect with on the internet handle your goods. However, the rating system and feedback gave me peace of mind that the bids were coming from a good source. In the end, my boat made 700 miles without a problem, the transporter delivered everything promised. I saved at least $500 by using uShip inst ...

Chaparral 220ssi boat
After years of using another source for about a dozen collector cars, an RV and my annual boat trip, I posted with Uship at the suggestion of a marina owner in Michigan I know. I received a wide range of bids and chose the one I expected to get the most value from. It wasn't quite the cheapest; but method of transport, arrival date and feedback score were important. I will now use Uship and my tra ...

Great Experience shipping my Boat
Bought a boat on CrakyApe.com on a Monday afternoon. I went to U-Ship becuase I could not find anyone to transport my boat to northern Idaho. I Received 12 bids through U-Ship in a matter of 36 hours. Selected the shipper I felt the best about. Had the boat in my driveway Thurday night, 3 days after auction ended. U-Ship was very easy to use and the all the shippers seemed very friendly and profe ...

shipping my boat
i had to cancel my first service provider because he wanted money upfront and when i said no, i never heard from him again. with alex everything went very smooth except for problems at the border and that was the dealerships fault where i bought the boat, not alex's. the boat was bigger than i thought and am sure glad alex delivered right to my door.

Shipment
Gus was a pleasure to deal with! He was on time, very careful with my cargo and a true gentleman. You can rest assure you are in great hands with Gus!

Greatm expereince shipping my sailboat masts
I BOUGHT A SAILBOAT RIG THAT INCLUDES TWO MASTS AND TWO BOOMS THAT NEED TO BE SHIPED FROM \NORFOLK VIRGINA TO UPSTATE \NY. A FAIRLY UNIQUE SHIPPING NEED THAT WOULD ECONOMICALLY BEST BE MET BY FINDING A MARINE SHIPPER GOING MY WAY WITH AN EMPTY LOAD. \YOUR SITE MADE IT EASY TO HOOK UP WITH THE RIGHT COMPANY. THANKS

Great site
First time ever to buy this large of an item on E-Bay, so I was very nervous about finding someone to haul the boat over 500 miles. I had been looking for this kind of boat over 10 months. I had great experience with Jim's Tow. He did an excellent job of communicating where he was and when he would arrive. I would definitely recommend Uship.

almost sunk
I am so happy to have my boat in terra ferma
and I thank you for this service. My boat had a
catastrophic shaft failure and needed to be out before a possibility of sinking.
You were there, the transporter was excellent and I am so pleased of the 2 services

Great experience!!
I wish this service was around the last time I shipped a boat.. Boy, they really make this transaction as easy and honest as humanly possible. I won't hesitate to use USHIP again for any of my shipping needs..

First time uShipping - Great experience!
After the intial cancellation of a different service provider I learned what to look for in when accepting a bid and choosing a service provider- not all are created equal. However the second booking went very well and more than made up for the first round.
Thanks uShip! John

Great Service
Didn't know much about having a boat shipped. Uship found me a good transportation company that did an excellent job at an excellent price.
Thanks,

Excellent Experience
I needed to move my 22' Sea Ray cruiser from its slip, for which the lease was expiring that day. I had a trailer already at the launch ramp, and just needed their services to get the trailer in the water, get the boat on the trailer and get the whole thing home - a total of maybe 15 miles. Jim bid on my shipment almost immediately after I submitted it, and when I asked if he could do it the sam ...

You find great people through Uship
After buying a 1968 ski boat in CA sight unseen I posted an ad for bids to ship it to NY. I got lots of good bids and chose a shipper based on feedback left by others with schedule and price next in priority. I was not disappointed, the feedback was 100% accurate and I always felt at ease with my decision, even when some problems arose with the 40 year old trailer's wheel bearings. Tradewinds T ...

shipment
i am waiting for the form for $100 credit for my 1st shipment. I had to cancel the first agreed shiping contract when shipper called me the day before my boat was to arrive to tell me it wojuld be " a few more weeks". Where is my credit??
|
Great experience!
Never have I had a vehicle shipped but when I found uship and the prices were fair I decided to try it. The shipper was great and the whole experience went flawless. If I ever needed to ship something like this again I would come back to uship.

Stressful boat shipment
Booked it for $1200 to pick-up the following Monday. They told me there were truck problems and would be there Tuesday, then Wednesday. The finally subbed out to another guy that was able to pick it up on Friday (I could have booked it for $1000 to pick up on Friday) and they were late on Friday and missed access to the boat. It finally is picked up monday and it took five days to get to Washingto ...

four winns 325 vista transport
I expected my first experience using UShip would probably be rocky. I assumed that I would have to 'learn the ropes' and endure a couple of bumps along the way. Boy, was I wrong! This was BY FAR the easiest boat move I have ever completed. 'SuperBob' was easy to work with, punctual, had great communication and a pleasant personality. The website was easy to navigate and payment was simple. I ...

My 3000 mile away boat
I bought in California because it was a good deal, little did I think about how you get a boat from CA to FL 3000 miles away. I went through the "normal" channels for transport and was quoted over double then what I paid, and given no sense of assurance when the boat would be delivered and by whom. After going on line and doing some search engine searching I came across Uship, being that they did ...

Pleased and excited - the whole experience was great.
I heard about uShip via word of mouth over a year ago when a friend bought a boat on the east coast. When I purchased a boat in the midwest I was concerned about getting it to our home in Wyoming. I didn't have the time to go get it and remembered uShip. I was nervous about using an unknown party to haul my boat, but uShip put my fears to rest by providing feedback and comments from customers. I p ...

great experience and good price
it was great to see services providers competing for the job, see their reviews, etc... It made transporting my boat so much easier and affordable!

Good experience shipping my boat.
I needed to get a boat moved from San Jose, CA to Houston, TX because I was taking back posession of a boat that was still in my name, but payments weren't being made. While I wasn't in a big hurry, Ricky picked the boat up that day and delivered it a few days later as agreed. His price was well below all other bids, but his service was above what was expected. I recommend him to anyone.

1st Timer == good experience
No problems, shipper picked up item and delivered as promised. Good communication and good experience. would recommend the web site to others.
|
Great experience
This is our first time using UShip and it was a pleasant experience. We plan on using UShip more in the future. We ship a lot of trailers and boats and are always looking for reliable transporters and UShip seems to have access to them. The site is a little 'busy' and can be hard to navigate for first time users (which I was). I did work my way through it and was able to have a completed and booke ...

Great experience shiiping the boat
Botote did a fantastic job of moving my old Chris Craft Constellation. His hydraulic trailer eliminated yard fees at either end of the move, saving money overall.

Uship made the difference...
For that shippment, I was quoted $5000 and $4500 by local truckers (out of uship). I knew they were just trying to steal me, especially that one of them was already bringing another boat in the opposite direction and would come back empty (so why not haul my boat for a few more thousand bucks). Uship got me a price of $3000. In the end, after much negotiation, one local trucker quoted me that same ...

The Trailer from Hell
It's a heavy gooseneck trailer with oversized trailers. This makes it difficult to load onto a flatbed. With some help from the shipper's end to back up the trailer onto the flat bed, Jermiah definitely pulled this off. I took some video short clips that I will send to Jermiah so maybe he can demonstate for other shippers. I would trust this man to ship anything ever in the future.

Great experience shipping our boat
We were transferred from Virginia to Florida. We have a 24 foot Chaparral (new) that needed to go. We found uShip online and posted a request for bids. We received several bids. Ray made a late bid that fit our timeframe perfectly. He had to come through Virginia on his way back to Florida, which resulted in a lower bid than some because he had to pass through anyway. So it was win/win for b ...

Great Experience with Boat Shipment
Towmasters picked the boat up in South Carolina for me and transported it back to Rhode Island. The process was great & Jon was great. He kept me informed on the shipment & how the boat looked upon pickup. The trip went well & the delivery was done in a timely manner. Jon was very nice & we got some good laughs as he traveled with his dog.
It was a pleasure to do business with him & to have me ...

Chris Craft Runabout
We finally sold our Chris Craft and we had to get it from Idaho to OK. We received bids all across the board. Trying to conserve a couple hundred bucks I almost went with the lowest bidder. When I logged back in to uShip i found that these turkeys were kicked off uship and "de-ported"!
So.......thanks heavens we went with David. No micky mouse. Professional, curtious and got the job done qui ...

Another successful USHIP shipment
This is the second time I have shipped my boat using Uship and everytime it gets better and better. I have found the perfect boat movers that will be on the top of my list for any shipment I will have in the future. Thanks for this great site!

cost to cost boat transport
i used representative John from AllStateTransporters. i had secured a shipper who canceled on me last minute. in my panic i found www.uship.com leading me to john. he agreed to my terms quickly and agreed to take on the delivery of our boat from new jersey to california. while he was being delayed he would update me as needed to his progress. once he had my boat i had a comfortable feeling th ...

New user introduction
I think uShip is a good service. I think it could be more new user friendly, like 'New Users Read This' in bold on the front page. Then have a simple walk through with the dos and dont's simply spelled out and not buried in some terms of use if that's were they are. Maybe it has what I talking about and just I didn't see it.

Excellent Service
Don South did an excellent job pulling my 27' Lavey Craft boat from Phoenix Arizona. I got a good rate and 1st class service. I would recommend Don to anyone needing a real pro to pull your load.

First time user/shipper
THis was the first time i needed to ship something across long distances. I found your webpage online and then had a few reccommendations. Thanks for the great website and service.
|
Excellent service
I was very impressed with the result. My 30' boat was delivered as promised and did not have any scratches or issues to speak of. The price point of the move was well under the prices quoted of other companies I spoke with to move my boat. All in all the experience with U-Ship and the service provider Phil A Smith Development were very positive and I would gladly do this again.

U ship
I am so glad I found this site. All the other company's I could loacte on the web for quotes where so much higher than what I paid using U Ship.
I was getting prices in the 3,000 to 4,000 dollar range for the transport of my boat. I got it done thru U Ship for 1,650.00 a far cry from 3,000.
Thanks
Stuart

Great Experience
I had a great experience, I had never shipped anything long distance like this. But it was a great website and easy to manuever. I told my mom to log on because she had something that she was needing to ship. Thank you.

Great experience shipping my boat.
Needed a sailboat picked up and delivered within a time schedule. Found uShip on the internet. Received a number of bids. Eventual provider gave excellent service: timely pickup and delivery while keeping me informed along the way. Would highly recommend uShip and would use again.

Great experience
I was in a rush to get a boat shipped 800 miles and didn't know where to go. I found USHIP on the web and decided I would take a chance. I registered - not something I am normally willing to do - and posted my shipping request. Within minutes I had 5 shippers. The one I picked nolan couldn't have been better. They were coming back from a drop off nearby where the boat was located and they wer ...

Excellent Shipping by MRE
Mark and I planned for the boat to be picked up in Daytona Beach, Fl on Mon. 9/15/08. In the meantime a devastating hurricane (Ike) hit the Galveston/ Seabrook coast where The boat was to be delivered to Seabrook, Texas by Thurs. 9/18/08. The state of Texas closed highways to wide loads and Louisiana would not issue permits without a LA/TX border destination. Mark had to sit all day in Lafayette, ...

Cruisers 2660 w/ no trailer moved flawlessly!
Dave went out and loaded my boat which was on cribbing, onto his trailer in Eastern Pennsylvania. He brought the boat all the way across the state of Pennsylvania and down to my ranch. He unloaded the boat for me onto cribbing just as I requested. I would recomend Dave's service to anyone in need, and would call him if and when I need to move the boat again.

Another worry free shipment
This is now the third time I have used USHIP and I have been very pleased with the service and website. The shippers I have used were all very professional, kept me updated and timely. I love the fact that I can post the item needing shipped and within hours I start getting bids. The shipping estimator gives me a rough idea of cost and then I take it from there. I have recommended USHIP to oth ...

excellent way to ship a boat
I was able to ship my boat from Utah to Texas for about the same price it would have cost me to do it myself. By the time I paid for hotels and food it may have cost more had I done it myself! I would use Uship again for my shipping needs.
