great shipper shipping my painting

He got hit by a semi truck and still made my delivery! Great person and great work.

Delivering a restored antique carousel horse

I had purchased a restored antique carousel horse, manufactured in 1911, and used uShip to transport it from New Hampshire to Missouri. This was my first experience with uShip, and found the website to be easy to use. I was apprehensive at first due to the value of the item being shipped, but the communications from the transporter helped a lot. I was more flexible on time than he was, so had t ...

Outstanding and professional service!

Outstanding and professional service!

Great art shipping

Shipped a crated and very fragile glass art piece from Atlanta to Texas. Arrived for pick up as agreed and delivered ahead of schedule. Kept us informed of his progress until the package was delivered. Nice guy and very professional. Will certainly use this service again.

As much fun as ebay!

I never would of thought that a system like this would work so well. It was great getting questions and comments from professionals, many of which I never would have thought of on my own. This has been a very rewarding experience, and I will not hesitate to recommend this to others or to use this service again. Great site, easy to navigate, and FUN! Way to go!

excellent care for my antique items.

I used Qualityvanshipper to transport and antique gas pump! This item was heavy and somewhat fragile. I met him one morning as agreed upon to take delivery. He was on time, just like clockwork! Communication was excellent, timing was great. I'm happy.

Superb job shipping my Baby Grand Piano

EmpirePianoMovers picked up and delivered my piano without a single hitch. I couldn't believe how professional Steve and his partner were on both ends of the job. He truly is a professional piano mover. I will use his company (EmpirePianoMovers) again if ever needed in the future.

Railroad Bell for Christmas

When I won an Ebay auction for a real railroad bell for a Christmas gift for my brother, I had no idea how I was going to ship it since I was responsible to pick it up. That is when I discovered uShip and found a personal service shipper that was professional and caring and delivered my bell as promised. Getting a 200 pound brass railroad bell from Minnesota to Southern California in the snow se ...

Old G E Monitor Top Refrigerator, OH to CT

An eBay win was shipped to me by RapidRunVanMan, in a very successful fashion. I have had Very Good Luck with the folks I have accepted quite reasonable bids from here on uShip. Not only would I use uShip again, but this shipper, and the other are favorites of mine. Even the Seller of the item turned out to be Extremely cooperative! Readying, Loading, Securing, Shipping and Delivering a hefty ye ...

Great Experience!

This was perfect if you are always in front of a computer like I am! James (or his wife), got back to me within a few minutes with each email and everything was delivered faster than anticipated. They were both very nice and we will definitly call them back for any more deliveries. Thank You!

Great experience shipping a piano

Easy transaction. Great communication on movers' end. Piano arrived in great condition. GREAT, GREAT, UNBEATABLE price! Thanks, Uship!

Shipping firm

While this was my first experience using uShip, I found the firm responding to my posting to be very responsive and helpful to this novice. Be patient and hopeful if you have an item to ship as I had at least 3 offers of help.

Great job by a really decent guy!

Steve's truck got held up in a nasty storm in CT, so he was delayed by a day. HOWEVER, once his boys got on the road, he had his truck here exactly when he said he would. This a a very good shipper. USE HIM! He was responsive, informative and professional.

Last second move

I needed 4 large boxes shipped out of state. I contacted all the major shipping companies; UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL. All of which were telling me that it would cost me $400-$600 to have my items shipped. Not to mention that I would not receive them for 4 days (earliest). I came to the UShip website where I was given an option to select a company that would ship my packages FOR THE PRICE I INDICATED. ...

Great shipping of odd item

We had recently purchased a driving cart that is pulled by a horse. This is an odd shaped item with two long shafts that attached to the horse and a section where you sit with two wheels. These are hard to find at a good price and we bought this one from MI and we are in SC. Gary (RapidRunVanMan) was kind enough to put our cart in his open van and secured it well for the trip. This kept it saf ...

good experience shipping my string bass

I bought my bass in 1960 when I was in high school. It helped me through high school, then thrugh college via scholarships. I haven't played in years but just didn't want to sell my bass. It was part of me. I found out my cousin's son played bass & was interested in an upright. What great timing. A good home for my baby. Melcal got the bid. Great price and they picked the bass up and too ...

Good Shipper

Thank you

Great experience with a great shipper!!!

Mike was so professional and packed and helped load the item (a 8 ft. tall English Phone booth made of cast iron and wood) more than he should have had to. Definitly could not have done this with out him and was glad that everything worked out for us. Thanks, Mike - mlp677

Positive shipping of Mother's cedar chest

My Mother had a cedar chest that she bought as a young woman. It has moved back and forth over the U.S. many times over the past 25 years. During Mom's last move to Reno, it was necessary to leave her chest with family in Minnesota, with the understanding that I was to receive it ASAP. That was seven years ago. Didn't happen! Unfortunately, my Mom died before I was able to get her chest back t ...

Great experience shipping my piano

I bought a second-hand piano from a private party. How to move the piano home is a fresh challenge for me. I ran into uship web through google, I think. Then I posted my moving request and waited to see other people bidding. 1)Bidding Phase: All the bids are with difference of $5 or $10. It is hard for me to decide which one. But this service provider, RHINONUTT, gave a much lower price. Late ...

1890 flag divery

will use again if needed. Delivered 1day early,Paul did a grear job

Uship was the answer to an unpleasant eBay seller!

I purchased a piece of furniture on eBay for what I considered to be a real deal, but I hadn't requested the shipping cost ahead of time (my error entirely). When the BAD news came back--that shipping would be 75% of the purchase price--I asked to be released from the contract (out of Christmas kindness, as it were). The seller turned a bit nasty, and it became clear that the seller had an in-hous ...

He took care of my pool table like it was his own.

Mike knew how to ship my pool table in a manner that prevented any damage. His truck was well equipped and clean. He was very happy and seems to really enjoy his work. He was very busy but had time to provide friendly service. Good first time experience with UShip.

A miracle: Affordable piano shipping!

Well, after about 20 different quotes, I came across this site and after signing up, received a bid from "Movers Unlimited" and didn't hesitate to take their offer (it was less then 50% the cost of the other carriers). Other carriers wanted to charge me the cost of the piano! I understood ahead of time that it would be delivered at the convenience of the carrier and I was ok with that. The pian ...

Shipping Grandmother's Piano

My daughter,a college music major in Pennsylvania, was in need of a practice piano. Her late Grandmother's piano was in Arizona. Because she is her Grandmother's namesake, the piano has great sentimental value. We started collecting online estimates and found our shipper at U-ship. "Stickman" offered us the best price by far - nearly half of some of the other quotes we received! Most importantly, ...

Very good experience

I shipped my mother's piano from my nephew's home in southern New Hampshire to Northern California. I was surprised to find a mover located in that area so quickly. Before I could supply them with the street number of the house, they had already been in touch with my brother who met them and got it loaded on a Sunday morning. It arrived the following Friday! Wow!

opens new opportunities

I am a painter in Los Angeles and thanks to Uship I am able to show my work all over the country. My paintings arrive safely, soundly and affordably!

First time using uShip - Moved a piano!

Today I was thrilled to see a piano I purchased just last week delivered by a mover I found on uShip! Late last week I optimistically submitted request for bids to move the beautiful, 30-year-old piano I had purchased 85 miles from the town I bought it in to my home on the coast. After receiving a few different bids I settled on Big John's Moving, a moving company from right here in my state, b ...

Family Treasure Arrives Intact

These guys shipped a 22 foot long shuffleboard table that's been in my mom's basement for 20 years. My brothers and I have racked up countless hours on this board, from teenage years on through beer-drinking nights. Mom was ready to part with it in Maryland, and Easymovers expertly delivered it to North Carolina to my new home and set it up. Within a few minutes, my buddies and I were throwing ...

I got my dream sofa!

I am planning on opening a boutique in New Jersey selling fine jewelry and designer clothing. I had seen an antique sofa that I loved, but could not seem to track it down to buy for the store. After weeks of pricing out antiques and antique replicas, I took the advice of a salesperson in a high end furniture store and shopped on Ebay. I was hesitant to shop on Ebay because I did not want to hav ...

Shipping delicate item

Excellent communication, care and handling of shipment. Came when they said they would with a box specifically made for my shipment, packed with care. Everything arrived safe. Everything handled courteously and professionally. Would definitely recommend.

Feed-back about uShip.

My service provider moved a studio piano from Maryland to Indiana for me,( jqueensnyc ) is his ID on uShip & his name is Eric. He's a VERY honest guy & definitely a Christian man, not only in name BUT in practice! I would pick again him even if his bid were to be a little higher than other bids. Just to know that he is a man of his word in every way is worth paying extra dollars!!! A true professi ...

Best Movers Ever!!

Terry (on the move) was great! They moved my huge antique upright piano, and made it look easy (as easy as lifting several hundred pounds can be). This was the first time the piano has been moved without any damage, not even a scratch. Plus, the price was less than half of what I was quoted by several professional piano movers. I hope they stay in business for a long time, because I will definitel ...

UShip is a great service

My mother passed away in July, and I needed to have some of her things and quite of bit of my father's art work (he was an artist who passed away over 25 years ago) shipped to me from Chicago to Atlanta. The items didn't have much monetary value, but they meant the world to me. I have to admit, I was extremely anxious about having a stranger 'roaming around the country' with my parents memories. ...

Why would you ship a $800 piano to Washington state from Colorado?

I had the oportunity to move my Grandfather's piano from my Niece's house, she did not have room for it, to my house or have it sold. We already had a piano that my housemate had promised to her son who lives in Washington. Neither piano had a great dollar value. But Just4u was able to pick up my Grandfather's piano in North Denver, bring it to our house in South Denver, and pick up our piano f ...

Bob Haynes Piano Moving

These folks did a great job at the time, the price, and the excellence that they promised. They were also polite and pleasant. Easy to recommend. Found Uship by accident and was, as usual sceptical about anything you find by accident on the internet. But I actually received several quotes from sources that looked legitimate. And our eventual experience was vry positive. Thank you.

Great Job Picking up and Deliverying My Doors

8'X6' Oval Wrought Iron Front Entry Door was picked up in Casa Grande , Az and delivered to Spring, Texas 1 full day ahead of schedule. Paul and Faydra did a great job of communicating there whereabouts throughout the course. They communicated to both me and the pick up location, which was very important. I tried to use another company, who was a day late and did not commmunicate there pick up tim ...

You may use the comments I already posted as they include all the details you have listed above.

Great experience shipping a large painting

EZ Movers did a great service for a reasonable price. It costed almost 1/2 of what I would have spent if I would have gone with UPS. They picked up my shipment less than 1 week after I posted. I would definitely use UShip again and I highly recommend EZ Movers.

shipping

The executran person was very fast to respond with a bid and kept in constant contact with me throught the whole delivery. He even offered to package the windows I purchased on ebay for me. What a great experience to have someone so professional and honest. I will use this service again for sure.

Our baby grand is off to our daughter.

Our baby grand had to go! It was blocking the wall where I could envision a cool wide screen TV and all the toys that come with it, and besides, neither my wife nor I play the piano. We needed to ship it to our daughter, whom we had bought it for, many years ago. Now, our daughter and that piano had given us years of pleasure, so it was important to get the right company for the move. UShip provid ...

Great experience!

Shipped a motorized wheelchair from Sarasota, Florida, to a suburb of Buffalo, New York. Received a quick reply to my listing on "uship", and an accepatble bid. Arrangements went smoothly, thanks to great communication back & forth. Shipment received today in excellent condition.

Fragile heirlooms shipped with care!

I was VERY nervous about shipping these 4th generation fragile Newel Post lamps from rural Az to Massachussets. I didn't have the thousands of dollars the "Art" shipping companies wanted. Gus's quote wasn't cheap but is was reasonable. Gus put me at ease from the start. He asked informed questions about the items that let me know he knew what he was doing. He personally packed them up and stayed ...

Excellent service

I bought back an antique piano that I had sold twenty years ago and had regretted for several years. I needed it moved from Las Vegas to Auburn, California. When I started looking at piano movers, I was getting quotes of $900-1200. Mountain Transport bid the job at half the cost and after reviewing their feedback, I chose them to do the job. The piano was picked up and delivered on the same da ...

great experience with tough item in basement

very bulky item that needed to be taken from basement. another shipper had walked away from from the job when he saw where it was. Jeff had no problem with it did the disassembly and loaded the item and delivered it without a scratch. extremely accomadating. would ship with him again without hesitation. thanks Jeff

Great experience shipping my piano.

The first time I matched to ship my piano, I contacted the carrier to confirm credentials as mentioned on the uship website. His credentials were not valid and I was able to communicate with a previous shipper who had used him and was not happy. I immediately cancelled and uship was quick to refund my deposit. When I relisted, I made sure my second shipper had lots of positive feedback (100%) a ...

A great experience shipping my giant Bronze Deer.

I live in Spokane, Washington, and I purchased a larger-than-life bronze deer statue from a private party in Florida for a good price, but had a terrible time trying to line up a shipper to get it here. Most shipping/trucking companies did not want to deal with it because it was not crated or on a pallet, and the ones that were interested wanted a fortune. I found Uship online, listed my deer wi ...

Did a FANTASTIC job!!!!

I had two items shipped from Mississippi, to me in Kansas: my father grandfather clock he bought 6/6/1990 and was promised to me when he passed away in 1996 and given to me when my mother passed 12/20/2006. The other item was a painting I did from them for Christmas,1995. I would rather have both my parents here with me, but these two items were special to both of us. Millers Shipping took ver ...

Great Experience

Fantastic man, very trustworthy, handicapped serving our country. He is not bitter about that. He is not giving up but keeps going with everything he can. Shippment had high value and it was handled as such. This man is polite honest and I could not have hoped to find a better person to deliver my goods. U-Ship should treasure this man and customers should demand no less than he offers.

would use again!

mr. soards moved my piano in a timely fashion and was very easy to work with. would highly recommend!
