Very good 1st time experience w/ uShip
Posted our request for shipping merchandise weighing 1500 lbs in the morning. By the late afternoon we received four bids. Took the lowest bid with the carrier with very good recommendations, LDM International. LDM saved us $300 by biding that much less than the sales merchant quoted us for the same service. Uship's website made it easy and efficient. After some initial difficulties with LDM in se ...

The Stove has arrived! yay!
I am happy to report that my experience with uship and Wade was very positive. I did enter the whole process very anxiously, having never done this before.
I made the arrangements, and Wade picked up my Mother-in-laws stove in Florida and delivered it to my son in Ohio. Both family members on either end of the move felt Wade had kept us informed as to schedule, arrived when he said he would, ...

CA to Kentucky 4th of July
In the end all went well. Could not reach them by phone nor could I leave any message. It was the July 4th weekend and I paniced NOT knowing if they would pick-up on time. Communication was a BIG problem but in the end they came through on time and delivered to my destination by contacting me when the driver showed up. All was well and I'm satisfied and woul;d recommend them highly.

Shipping Range
Great experience shipping range. I was out of town during the bidding & shipping process & Jared made it so easy for me to handle despite not even being around! Would use him again!!

Phoenix to Detroit
We had a number of items from an estate, items ranging from large and heavy furniture to fragile china and clocks. Royce was very helpful, courteous, prompt, responsive, and careful with our shipment. We would certainly use his services again!

queen size tempurpedic mattress, shipped cross country
I moved from Pittsburgh to San Francisco, with only what I could carry in my car, leaving my precious queen size tempurpedic mattress is the care of one of my friends.
Using uship, I was able to hire thzig to pick up the mattress from my friend in Pittsburgh and deliver it to me in San Francisco, with no problems and at a reasonable price. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

Large arcade system
Easiest shipping service I have ever delt with. No arcane entry system, no "broker" looking for an inflated commission. Just flat auction rates and open bidding.
Follow the requirements and you'll have an extremely simple time booking a shipment.
Be as exact in your description and ALWAYS include pictures of the actual item.
Great service!

Shipping of Large Screen TV

U Ship: Feedback is Critical
I have worked with UShip three times. Twice I used people who had great feedback. Once, I took a chance. Big mistake. So I have learned: UShip is a wonderful service, but it is critical to read the feedback and go with your intuition. If it feels wrong, don't do it. There are lots of very nice people who work with UShip, which is why feedback is so important.
I highly recommend this website, but ...

Not too bad for the first time.
I suppose the first time should be taken as a learning experience however in that sense the transaction was only a minor loss.
I bought a lawn mower 800+ miles from home because the price was all right and shipping it U-ship appeared to be the most cost-effective way.
I saved a little using U-ship because I was in an Ebay frame of mind when placing the order and unfortunately placed "book it now ...

1st Time for uShip
I'm a 1st time user but this site made it easy to find several possible shippers and I was able to find one that was excellent.

For a first time shipper, it couldn't have gone better
Was connected up with just the right shipper...Shlomo Ben Yaacov of Artisan Shipping Co. Inc. He was great to work with, and his price was fair.
After getting prices that I thought were outrageous from The UPS Store and others, I decided to give uShip a try. Got 3 bidders, including Artisan. Within minutes of accepting the bid, I got a call from Shlomo to set up the pick-up. He picked up ...

Robert Benedict: "uShipper" Extraordinaire!
My feedback for Robert Benedict couldn't possibly be positive enough to accurately convey what a fantastic experience we had with him.
He was incredibly professional, always punctual, very communicative, and unflappable in the face of more than a few "curve balls" we threw his way. Our shipment ended up being larger than initially described? No problem. Can you help us move some furniture ou ...

who knew it was this easy?!
We found uShip on the internet during a very stressful move that required an intermediate shipment, and were initially very skeptical of this...but desperately needed to get an odd-sized shipment from A to B. We received bids from two shippers and chose PennAntique based on price and their past feedback. They were EXCELLENT, cost-effective, and a pleasure to work with. We saved money (north of ...

1st Time
This was our 1st time using uShip.
We bought a sectional in Green Bay and we live in MN. We had no idea how to get the furniture home...until someone told us about uShip.
What a great service. I would definitely use this again!!!

MId-century antiques
Found exactly the pieces I was looking for, a dresser and credenza BUT all the way in Florida. Half the battle was to make sure the seller comes through legit, this being a craigs list buy and makes contact with the shipper.
The bids were all over the place and in the end I picked one that made most sense, since the shipper (Wayne) lived in the same town and was ready to go. I probably saved 3 ...

Great experience shipping my cabinet.
My grandmother passed away and left me her china cabinet 2000+ miles away. This cabinet is priceless to me, so I had an extremely difficult time trying to figure out how to get it to me in one piece. I was a little leery on using uShip, but the experience was amazing. The price, the care and the quickness of the company helped put my mind at ease. Thanks!

Shipping 15 boxes of household goods
Enjoyed the personal service and didn't worry about my boxes getting thrown around, as I would have with UPS...saved about 30% and will use uShip again.

new experience
U ship was a new experience that i found by searching for a local mover for my daughter to her first job. I loved the experience and the mover we hired was awesome. Since this was my first experience they answered all my questions and were very patient. They kept the lines of communication open and were very efficient. We were shipping a stored 1 bedroom apt in an indoor storage facility. I w ...

terrific!
First time user, and felt like I got a great price and terrific service from an indepedent, family-owned mover that I'd never have found on my own.

moving
in the past i have had very bad experiences with movers. they give you one rate - then when they have your things - they announce that there will be an additional charge , for whatever reason they decide. you are stuck because they hold your possessions hostage.-- not the case here, i would not hesitate to use this service again.

Novice mover loves uShip
I won a lovely old server on e-bay for a very nice price. I had never shipped anything heavy or oversized like it before. Problem was, I live in Texas and the server was in New Jersey! I got on uShip, read about the carriers in the area, and decided to go with the guy that all his customers were raving about. It arrived just fine, packed like nothing I've ever witnessed before and in a timely m ...

Moved a Vintage Skeeball machine from TN to MD
After not knowing how I could possibly ship a vintage Skeeball arcade game that I had won on eBay, I stumbled upon uShip site. Wow -- what a phenomenal service! In less than 24 hours I had a commitment from someone who would pick up my game outside Nashville and deliver it to my home in Maryland. I found his price fair, and he was very punctual. I have already told a few people about uShip... ...

1959 Refrigerator
I was working in Iraq when I found a vintage refrigerator on Craigslist located near San Franciso, Ca. I inquired about it and found it something that I wished to buy and the price was reasonable. I began to look for a way to have it shipped to Tampa, florida. Mos of the conventional shippers/freight companies were very expensive. I thought I would give UShip.com a try even though I have read some ...

completely satisfactory experience, could not have been better or easier (except for my screwup involving paying him!)

Excellent resource
This site is an excellent tool for any shipping needs. I heard about it through word of mouth and will definitely recommend to anyone.

finally found a mover
i had a small shipment so it was hard to find a good mover. the first was beligerent, rude, uncommunicative (no email, no fax, no cell) AND a no-show. the second took a deposit and was still a no show and i had to get it reversed through my credit card company after repeated promises they would refund. the third was a no-show.
then someone told me about UShip. I couldn';t have been happier. i got ...

Our uShip Experience
We had never tried this service before but would definitely use the bidding system on uShip if we need to move again. It was great to be able to compare prices and levels of service. Plus, it was good to be able to see ratings and comments from previous customers. uShip is WONDERFUL! We had a great experience and the mover that we used was fantastic. Have to admit that we were skeptical at fi ...

Pinball 2000 machine
Had a shipment for a Pinball 2000 machine from FL all the way up the East coast.
Now the Pinball 2000 is not like any pinball you've seen before. This was the last versions made before all the pinball companies went out of business. It has a video display monitor that plays an arcade game in conjunction with the pinball and with the added weight and head unit requires good packing and handlin ...

VW Engine
They picked up the engine a few days after payment just as described. And had it to me within a few days. Every time I emailed I got a quick response. And the engine looks like they took good care loading and unloading.

new experience.
I bought a sofa at a department store that does not offer delivery except by referring to a moving company. The moving company wanted 500 dollars for an 85 mile trip for one sofa. I then remembered reading about Uship and decided to give it a try. Worked smoothly and i got it done for literally 1/2 price. Will definately use again whenever i need something moved/shipped.

Grandmother's Things
My grandmother moved into an assisted living community and left a few pieces of furniture to me. It wasn't enough for a standard moving van, but too much to "mail" across the country to me.
I struggled to find a trustworthy way to get my grandmother's kitchen table, chairs, and antique dresser out to me, and after trying Uship, I am convinced that this is the way to go!
The price was reason ...

Shipping auto interior parts
I won some large items on ebay, including seats and other interior panels for an old car I'm restoring. Tony Lincoln of 1XTRACARE picked up and delivered the items for me. He took care to protect the parts and made the process easy and secure. Remember that ebay items listed as "local pickup only" are not out of reach even if over a thousand miles away. Just contact Tony Lincoln of 1XTRACARE thr ...

Great first-time experience - shipped furniture
I needed to ship 2 chairs and an end table to my mother-in-law's. We had no use for these pieces but they were in excellent condition and knew that my mother-in-law would enjoy them for years to come.
I had heard about uShip as the founders were from my MBA alma mater. I was impressed with their story when I was in school and this was the first time I had a need and wanted to try out the servic ...

Shipment of 8 Ft. Antique Rolling Library Ladder and Rail
I purchased an antique ladder on Ebay, and needed to have the ladder picked up and shipped from Brooklyn, NY to Alabama. This was my first time using uShip, and I am very pleased with the service. The shipping price was much lower that UPS and FedEx, and I felt comfortable with the fact that I knew who was picking up and delivering my antique ladder. The ladder was picked up and delivered by Simo ...

I like this service
This has been an overall very good experience. The original bidder (cottinham) left me hold the bag with trying to get my stuff moved, however after working with knightrunner (wayne and team), they have restored my faith that this system works. Please remove cottinham from your list of service providers as they will ruin your business if you keep them around. Just a word of warning!!
Thanks,

shipping my antique chaise
I have an antique chaise that was recovered from the Chicago fire in 1871 by my grandmother. I needed someone who would recognise both the historical and sentimental value of this piece. I have been afraid to leaving this up to a mover as I was concerned it would get lost with another big load. I sent Bill several questions about his operation and found out that he is a small businessman who is ...

Moving our son
We were very concerned how to get our son moved from Washington, D.C. back to Texas. Time and expense was an issue, as we were leaving on vacation. Our son was not at all sure what to do on his end. We put in bids on Uship and found some very high. Also we weren't sure exactly what our son had to ship and when we should ship it. Bill worked with up with several revisions, and then accommodated our ...

2 upright windup phonoghraphs.
I was fortunate. Both of the people from whom I purchased a phonograph packed my phonos well. Shipper took care of them too. Read the feedback of shippers before you accept a bid. I learned the cheapest is not always the best choice. The only negative aspect is that you do not get their phone number until after you have booked and charged the booking fee. So read the feedback carefully. All in all ...

UShip Saved The Day
I had a need to get some family items to my sister across the Country after we divided up my mother's estate, but I had no idea how to accomplish the task. I found UShip on the internet and was amazed at how quickly bids came rolling in, how reasonable they were and how the job would be completed in a minimal amount of time and off my list of things to do.
I guess you could say UShip is a stre ...

Never thought shipping a washer/dryer could be so easy.
Needed a washer and dryer shipped from Dallas to Austin. Listed my shipment on uShip.com and started getting bids within minutes. I had originally considered going to pick it up myself in the bed of my truck ...but uShip saved me time and money! The competitive bids and ability for truckers to fill excess capacity along their route enable me to save so much money that the cost of shipping ended u ...

Superb service shipping my pressure washer
My son was shipping a pressure washer from Texas to me in North Carolina. I am so glad that I found uShip and Lacy. She did a great job in getting me from point A to point B with any question I had about the shipping box, pallet or weight, that kind of thing. I would have accepted the bid much sooner if we had been ready with the double-walled box for the John Deere pressure washer. We just wa ...

Good positive experience
We were relocating from Southern California to Oklahoma. Had a large load (45 foot personally owned dry van) of personal items and household goods. Lots of tools and a small garden tractor with attachments.
We ran into complications due to our new home not being ready and had to change the schedule several times. Fred was great and always was happy to make changes. We worked out his schedul ...

Overall Good Experience
Our move involved a table and 6 chairs. The bid was very reasonable the movers were courteous the timing for delivery was a little choppy due to mechanical issues. The pieces were received in perfect condition.

Got an arcade game shipped for less than I would have spent on gas!
Within a couple hours of posting my request for transportation of an arcade game here, I got a quote of $250 from Evildanes, which I thought was a mistake. I'd planned to make the trip to pick up the game myself until hearing about this site, and had figured my costs just for gas and tolls would be at least $260, not to mention I was a bit unnerved about borrowing a truck from a buddy to get from ...
