Amazing experience shipping antique piano!

I have moved more times than I would like to remember and it has always been a nightmare. We had been postponing shipping a priceless family piano for years (7 to be exact). We needed to move an antique piano from Oklahoma City, OK to Georgetown, TX. This piano was handmade by the Omish and was my husband's Grandmothers prized possession. Six months ago we got serious about relocating the pian ...

antique desk delivered safe

They took my desk apart in az and put it together in tx without too much trouble. The price was more than the other quote I received, but it sounded like this company was more experienced with antiques. I'd use them again.

Easy time moving my much-loved piano

Mike placed a great bid and was very prompt at following up (as was I in answering questions from various U-Ship movers). He arrived right on schedule, took care in moving my piano, and moved it from a city to my new somewhat remote house (up an incline). I was amazed at how quickly I received bids and questions, and at how easy it was to make arrangements (all via email). I'll certainly ...

My Grandmother's piano

In the fall of 2006 my uncle called me to tell me that my grandmotther's piano had been in storage since she passed away three years ago. He told me he wanted me to have it. I was so excited; I remember sitting next to my grandmother when I was a girl as she played her piano. The question was, "how was I going to get it from Tennessee to Ohio? My uncle and I checked many moving companies; all ...

Excellent experience and I saved $200.00!!

My first shipment using uShip was a breeze. I have been an EBAY member for several years, even though this was not an EBAY item, the process was very similar to an EBAY auction and I had no trouble posting my shipment. I had the need to have a piano moved over a long distance. I received a couple of quotes from traditional piano movers using the yellow pages and even 'Craig's List" but this proces ...

Excellent experience!

This was my first transaction on Uship.com and it was great! Brian did an excellent job and it couldn't have gone more smooth. He was shipping a FULL cargo van of embroidery machines, supplies, cabinets, hoops, computer, etc. and everything was delivered in top shape. The seller of the equipment in NY where Brian picked everything up even liked him so much that they gave him shirts and hats to ...

Art hits the road and survives......

I was shipping a set of paintings and prints I had lost in a divorce to my ex who was now moving to China and could not keep them anymore. (There is a God.) She wanted to get them out of her house which was up for sale ASAP. I was afraid it would prove too expensive to ship due to size and fragile nature of the pieces, but UShip came through with a provider who was affordable and in the area of ...

Television

Anson Farm Transport was absolutely terrific to deal with. They picked up my TV in Arizona and delivered it to Illinois completely within the time frame and price we agreed on. They were very trustworthy and I will definitely use this company again. Thank you.

Large Indian Carving, Sculpture

My husband and I are so Greatful both with uShip and our shipper, Mike at UshipWehaul. Using both for the first time, everything went perfectly. We started getting bids almost immediately and I LOVE the way uShip has everything layed out so that questions are easily answered. Because we sell and make our living on ebay and now know about uShip and have used uShip, we'll be selling alot more larger ...

Money saving

I saved hundreds of dollars using uship. I had a very heavy and unusual shipping request. So to use a big companies I had to spend so much money before they would even pickup the item. Let alone find one that would do it. Then I found uship where I would be able to find smaller more reliable companies that could handle what I was shipping. Where it wouldn't get lost in the shuffle. And I wa ...

uShip makes moving fun

What an easy experience. We had a piano that we wanted to donate to the YMCA but we lived 130 miles away. I kept putting off trying to locate a moving company that would work with us in pricing and be reliable. I found uShip and with just a few clicks I placed the ad and received emails and bids the same day to move the piano. Joe Aceves with All Good Moving contacted us and moved the piano fo ...

My Piano is Safe

I found the best deal and the best mover on UShip for my piano. The precious instrument is now safe, and I had a great experience.

Shipping my chair

My chair had to be brought to Asheville from Charleston. I told the driver to leave at the house and where to leave it since I was not going to be home. Chair was in excellent condition and he left it right where I asked him to. I would definitely use Tony again. Thanks.

Had a antique pie safe shipped

The seller packed the item very well for me and the shipper delivered it promptly without incident. He was very helpful in un-loading it for me and bringing it into the store. Thanks so much! Chris Lamb Mystic Ct.

I thought I would have to sell my baby!

Until Steve at "aaapianosvc" responded with the best bid to move my baby grand piano, I had given up on taking my cherished instrument to my new studio. Relieved to find utmost professionalism and easy, convenient bidding proceedures at UShip, The fear of "giving up my baby" was put to rest. The move went without a hitch and now the baby and I are happy together again!

19th Century Printing Press Brought Back to Life!

TommyB did a great job on this, had to re-schedule and arrange with two different pick-up locations. The 19th C press had been in storage for twelve years, and I thought about selling it, and actually gave it away to a college last year. The college never picked it up from the warehouse, and finally contacted me wondering if I knew anyone else that would want it! Indeed! In the interim I had final ...

Saved Money and truck cap arrived in great shape!

We needed a truck cap delivered to us from over 600 miles away. With the price of gas, this would have cost us $600 to go pick it up ourselves and be 1,200 miles roundtrip. We didn't know where to look for a delivery company until we saw USHIP advertised on EBAY. The process was simple and the bid we got was a very pleasant surprise. The company ,Strickly Business, kept good communication with em ...

Special care for special items

Recently my 88 year old uncle passed away. He was a finish carpenter by trade--a man who specialized in historic interiors in the Philadelphia area. In his spare time he built a grandfather clock (from scratch). It took him 4 years to build and two years to find the right clockworks. He actually traveled to several states to search out the clockworks. The clock is about 7 feet tall, with delic ...

Great experience in shipping my Piano

This was my first time and all went way above my expectations. This was easy to use and my mom and I were both extremely pleased with the results!!!

Great experience with the organ move.

The entire transaction from start to finish was handled very well and with care. I would surely use them again in the future. The way it was packaged to protect the organ took a lot of work and was very much appreciated. Carl

Very happy with the delivery of our cannon!

Was picked up on time from a Museum and delivered to our customer in great condition!! On time and in perfect condition too. VERY good comunications and I am 12,000 miles away! We will surly use Gary to deliver our museum pieces again.

Pinball machine delivery

I found a small delivery company that delivered a fragile (not really fragile, but because of its age could be fragile and irreplaceable) old pinball machine). It did not need to be crated and packed extra carefully because it was put in a small trailer that had lots of room and it wasn't going to be mishandled by non-caring employees which might and often does happen with big delivery companies. ...

Great experience shipping my piano

I bought an used piano from friend and it's ready to be moved to my house. I did call a local service provide named two man and an truck something like that and got an quote for about $300. And delivery time slot is not much choices, I need to take half day off waiting for delivery. Then I did search website and found uship. I said to myself why don't give it a try and it doesn't cost an peny. So ...

Received my table early

I had a high end dining room table shipped to me. I used Weship11. They were flexible with their delivery times and stayed in contact with me. When I couldn't get in touch with the person who had the table, they offered to continue calling the person to arrange the pick up. Now, I call that service. I got the most affordable cost for shipping on uShip and I will use them again without hesitation.

Greatest service for tanning beds

Doug was absolutely the greatest person I could have met in this entire episode. I never thought that I was in for such a rough ride but Doug took extreme measures and made sure that my best interests were his priority. The price that he agreed to was 1/2 what anyone else would have done. The help that he provided me alone was worth what I paid. He worked for me and it made me feel so comforta ...

Great site.

I got a much better shipping deal through uShip than I would have gotten elsewhere. The bid on uShip were about 40% less than the quotes I had gotten by myself. Very nice service. I will use it again when I have a big shipping job.

Great Experience Shipping a Piano

We contracted with Steve at AAA Piano Service to move my mother's piano from PA to IL. They did an outstanding job at a very reasonable price. The entire uShip process was convenient, easy and professional and I would definitely use the service again.

Moving my Piano made easy

These people at AAA Piano were awesome. They provided a quote and communicated right from the get go. They called and confirmed. They called before they picked it up and called after it was delivered. I was unable to be at either place and they made the whole experience care free! Awesome people! Highly recommended. When I move again, they will be who I call!

White Glove service at bare-handed prices!!! :)

Excellent communication, to the minute delivery, incredibly accomodating & to boot everything arrived in pristine cond!! After experiencing a couple of moving nightmares from hell, you got yourself a devout customer for life, THANX!!!

Large auto parts

Yellow freight could not handle this item because of size and shape. Driver did good job for me.

piano

Movers were very nice to work with.

Shipping Baby Grand Piano

We were moving from Western NY to Nashville, TN. Our shipper was suppose to pick up the piano two days before we were to leave. Unfortunately they had a truck breakdown the morning they were suppose to pick up the piano. They kept in me informed throughout the day as to their status and their attempts to repair the truck. They informed me later that day that the truck would not be ready that d ...

Excellent transport of my computer equipment.

The shipper was completely professional in every aspect of handling my demanding shipment. Equipment was heavy and fragile. Driver took extra precautions in the loading and tranports of this equipment. Totally pleased with the entire process.

Piano Moving. Great experience.

I received my parents piano when they were down sizing to a different house. My 83 year old father kept insisting he could deliver it to my house in his pickup. I didn't want him driving to the cities and trying to help unload it. He didn't have straps or anything to secure the piano. I told him that I arranged to have it delivered. He still said he could save me money and do it himself. Finally ...

Great experience shipping embroidery machine

If you need anything shipped especially an item you are worried about being damaged use Nationwide Delivery Systems as they are the best. They packaged my item better than I would have myself and their delivery people were great. On time, polite and did everything this was the best experience I could have ever hoped for.

Piano with sentimental value move a positive experience

Used UShip to get rates to move a family piano from Arizona to Ohio. Sentimental value more than anything as my sister and I learned on this Piano. Company gave me good price and handed the piano with care as I would. They did not crate it and stick it in semi. Called 3 days prior to pick up and delivery and came within scheduled times. Piano was moved from Living Room to Living Room. Now ...

Shipping of old Upright Grand Piano

NW Delivery's bid was accepted because of their experience in piano moving, also their reasonable bid. This was an old piano built in 1916. I played it as a youth and it has been in storage for 60 years. NWdelivery gave it the care of a Stienway Grand! It arrived in great condition and once the dirt and grime of 60 years was removed it looks even greater. NWdelivery's people are very profes ...

Great experience shipping my piano

I was very skeptical of the process. Was nervous to "accept bid", without actually talking to the shipper, thinking my cc was going to get charged the full amount and not having an easy way to get a refund - always thinking the worst. The process is incredibly simple and incredibly safe. Scrappy's was absolutely awesome from the start. He is a very careful shipper who truly believes in customer s ...

Fabulous Job!!

I was worried when I had to move my grandfather's piece such a great distance, but this mover did fantastic work!

Awesome experience shipping my piano

My sister gave my kids the piano and it must be shipped from Garden Grove, CA to Charlotte, NC. Robert was the second biddet but was honest to tell me that I do not need additional insurance. He went out of his way to pick it up before 6 AM and diliver it within a week in Charlotte at the time I needed to have my wife receiving it. My wife was very impressed with Robert's professionalism and cou ...

Better than I dreamed possible - my table

My mom bought an antique table for me in McKinney, Texas. I was horrified to find out what shipping was going to cost me, but was very excited to get the table before all my family came to town for my daughter's wedding which was less than 3 weeks later. I googled shippers and got several bids. Then I found uship. Within a day, I received an email/question from mrfishaholic. He was traveling ...

Cross country shipping of piano and bench

I had a piano and bench (family heirloom)shipped from Ohio to AZ. The family member that had the piano, was moving and wouldn't have space for the piano. The service provider is AAA Piano Services. I had checked several providers on the internet and this was the best offer I found. I was contacted in a very timely period. We spoke on the telephone and was told about his business - he only shi ...

faith renewed

when originally posted my aqua massage bed to be moved by UShip my bid was matched almost immediately and i was amazed. The provider was hard to contact for first 2 days then when contact was made, he assured me everything was set and not to worry about my move. The day of the move he didn't show or call. He wouldn't even answer his cell phone. I got home from work and had a email from him wanting ...

Shipper Kept me Informed the Entire Trip

The shipper called and kept my seller and me informed the entire trip letting me know where they were and when their ETA was. This was 5 Star service. Thanks a million.

Great experience shipping my piano.

I had beening called many moving companies for piano moving. They couldn't give me a compelte fee for the final. I happened to see Uship service online. So I posted my shipping item and I got a great price and professional team to help me out.

Piano slide____!

As with any instrument, careful on the upside, pull and break on the inside, slide down on the downside. The piano was more than we thought at first, after taking the legs off, we eased it down on a dolly, but no movement; then slid it onto a smaller dolly which increased balance but took 4 MEN to manuver through the doorway. All went well until the last long step which had a corner in the middl ...

AAA Piano Services Is Great!

I inherited my grandmother's piano and needed to move it from Utah to New Mexico. I submitted my need in July. Steve (AAA Piano, which is based in Texas) said he'd be in my area in October. If I could wait that long, he could move the piano, and he gave me a bid that beat the nearest competition by over $150. However, he was able to move the piano much sooner, and I received it in early August ...
