Thank goodness for small shippers!

Working with a tight budget, I had ship my paintings 1400 miles. UShip is a great option. Not only did it hook me up with a great shipper, but it saved me a lot of money. And I love the fact that I'm giving business to smaller companies, individuals or couples. There's more care and accountability. I would definitely use Uship again.

meshele's piano

i purchased a baby grand piano for my daughter and new son-in-law as a wedding present. they live in new york. i live in michigan and the piano was in new jersey. each location had work and college class schedules to coordinate, and two of us owned our own business. the original owners of the piano had sold their house, were in the midst of packing and going to closing. somehow CPM coordinated ...

Our painting got home!

We had borrowed a large painting from our daughter for an art show, picking it up in a large rented van. But then we had no way to return it to her without renting another van. We had used uShip service before and been pleased, so I posted our painting on Sunday, got two responses and chose one. The owner-operator kept in touch either through his office or himself every step of he way, once ...

1930'S Gas Stove

I wasn't sure about doing this type of thing as I never have done this before but the experience was G R E A T and what made me use the person I had used it matters to read the feed back people have written with there own experience's with there shipments and the process of the whole thing seem to be very easy to do and if I need a shipment done again I will be back to use the site.

Initial a little hesitant but overall satisfactory

It was my mother of 74 who bid and won on a large quilting machine on ebay (her first timeusing ebay). She did not realize it was pick up only and of course she won. She really wanted the machine so we started looking into arranging shipping as the seller was willing to work with us on it. After checking with companies the cheapest was 1348.00 for a regular freight company. After two listing g ...

Heirloom piano moved without a hitch!

We moved Gramma's piano half-way across the country. My nephew just married, and his new wife plays the piano. It was a perfect wedding gift. How to get it there? I admit, I was quite apprehensive about finding a shipper this way. But I was very pleasantly surprised at the professionalism. Not only of the company I chose, but of the tight rules and regulations for communication and concern fo ...

MF 135 Engine Block

I contacted BMT Trucking after I booked by shipment with them. They kept in contact with me on when the shipment would arrive. The item arrived in excellent condition, as great care was taken during the shipping process. Thanks again for your services!

Amazing

Within 3 days, I posted my request to move my grandmother's antique desk from VA to MA, accepted 1 of 6 competitive bids and the desk was picked up and delivered in perfect condition. This is a truly fantastic service - efficient, very high quality and I saved $800 over what a local mover quoted me for moving the piece. I will absolutely use this site again and refer it to friends and family.

How easy can moving be!? Pretty easy with Uship.

we were shipping an upright piano and a few small pieces of furniture. Darrell and team took great care with each piece- very professional. I will definitely be working with Darrel and crew again as the need arises. Highly recommended. Uship made our choosing a moving company so easy! I would have been searching the yellow pages with no idea who I was talking with, but Uship let the movers ...

HAMMOND X-66

The driver picked up the organ on time and arrived in Miami faster than I ever thought possible, with no damage.

Great shipping my priceless mirror

I’m a volunteer fire fighter in my township and wanted to purchase a Yuengling fire department mirror I saw a local pub for my home collection of FD items. After researching who had it for sale, the only place to get the mirror was 3hrs. away in PA and the warehouse would not ship the item because it was extremely fragile. So, I was debating to drive or not. I remembered a friend talking about Ush ...

sisters piano

the professionalism of all involved was impressive and in the future I will certainly use DHL again and U Ship too..Many Thanks and thanks for making my sister's Christmas the very best ever

A heavy vintage instrument 6 hours away

I managed to find a special piano at a manageable price... but it was too far to drive and get. I looked on the discussion forums dedicated to this special piano to get ideas on shipping. There was a post about a guy that had used Uship.com, so I signed up and posted my required pickup/delivery info. I then received multiple bids and found one that would work. I got lucky and got the nicest gentle ...

Piano move

We needed to get a family piano moved from Montana to Wisconsin. Randy and his crew came through with flying colors! They took excellent care wrapping and loading the piano, and were very punctual and professional. The delivery also was handled with the same attention to detail. I highly recommend this compant!

Worry Free

Needless to say, when you sell a 400 lb Lowrey Organ and need it shipped cross country you are a little nervous - not to mention the fact that you have never shipped anything this large before - We were elated with uship - We requested bids and almost immediately received several - The process was easy and very effective - The shipper we selected (Robert Benedict) was fantastic - Kept in constant ...

Grand piano

A little nervous about using uShip, but the price was unbeatable and the grand piano was shipped in great condition with speedy delivery and no hassles. Glad I went with uShip!

first u-ship experience

I had refinished an antique rocking chair as a gift for my new grand-daughter. Planned to send it UPS, but no. It was too large. Steve delivered it in record time and in great condition. Will tell all my friends about u-ship. It was a good experience.

Grand Piano Move

Gary is a great guy. He and his co-worker, delivered the piano as promised and spent extra time ensuring I was happy with it's final position and issues with the pedals. However, Gary was about 4 hours late at the pick-up destination, which was a bit embarrassing, as I had to call and apologize to the current owner for the movers tardiness. Also, what should have been a 2 hour drive-time for de ...

Using uShip and American Moving for first time

We were happy that there were no problems with this shipping, as about two years ago, when I moved my mother's furniture up from Florida through Beckins Moving, there were several items missing and we could not settle with them for months, a very nerve racking experience. In the 6 moves my mother has made in her lifetime, this one with Beckins went down as significantly bad. I appreciate the ...

Great Experience shipping our family heirlooms!

Unfortuately I live 3000 miles from most of my family in California and I found out at last minute that my Grandfather was moving himself to a home and needed money so was garage-saling everything he owned to get more money. My Grandmother has an antique furniture set that no one in my family wanted to buy. I wanted it to be able to keep it in the family but there is no way I could have afforded i ...

Good experience moving my pool table

I wanted to move my pool table from the basement to a first-floor game room. None of the local pool table vendors would do the job, since the table has a one-piece slate playing field. I posted my need on uShip and received several inquiries in short order. A couple of emails later, everything was set. The move went smoothly, and I am very satisfied. I will definitely consider uShip for future ...

Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful!!!

Mark and Carol were an absolute joy to work with. They were professional in every way and took wonderful care of my piano throughout the process. They followed through on everything that they promised. My parents had nothing but wonderful things to say about meeting them on their end of the shipment and the same goes for my husband and I. They are very personable people and I enjoyed my conver ...

Yamaha Grand

Excellent site. It was my first time using this service and it's highly trustworthy and recommended.

Excellent

I guess I will put it this way. I badly wanted this pair of speakers and it was financially necessary to deliver my speakers (as an exchange) in order to acquire them. The cost to deliver by well known firms (UPS, Fed Ex) was prohibitive. I could not have gotten the speakers outside of uShip. It enabled something I thought was not possible.

My FIRST Time

I was shipping a 2 person hot tub because I won it on Ebay and was reciommeded USHIP web site and I'm very pleased with my experience and will use USHIP again for all my shipping needs. You all heard of "Lending Tree", well, "USHIP" is the "Lending Tree" of the shipping world. Thank you USHIP ! monndog761

Piano move done right

When my sister-in-law bought a house, my wife and I bought the console piano from the sellers. We used uship.com to have the piano moved from my sister-in-law's new house to our own, and through the bidding process we were able to save a substantial amount of money, about 20% of the normal cost of transport. Daylight Movers were courteous and professional, and did a very good job of keeping our ne ...

Rocking horse galloped home

I purchased a rocking horse which needed to be shipped. At $120 for UPS, the cost of shipment was more than the value of the horse. uShip came to the rescue with a friendly bidder who was reasonable, quick, and efficient. I definitely will use uShip again and again for any shipping needs!

Great shipping experience with USHIP!

Great USHIP experience with Howard. Great communication from initial online bidding experience to pickup to delivery and all during the piano's long trip from WI to NC. Piano arrived in terrific condition and Howard was enjoyable to talk with as well. Well worth the experience and cost! Thanks Howard for everything. My husband will be thrilled to see this wonderful surprise!!! ~Linda

moving pool table

I really lucked out. These guys are experts when it comes to moving pool tables. They did all the right things, including removing the slabs and accessories as needed; then reassembled them including sanding, glueing and leveling with "chims" my pool table. And they were the best price which meant the best value!!! They completely exceeded my expectations! Thanks and more thanks!

Great mover-I have my toy now!!!!!!Happy kitty!!!!!

I had bought a practice carillon keyboard with the idea that I would just go to her house (a full days drive) and load its happy tail in my full size van. WRONG.....my van has 5 foot doors and not tall enough to accomadate the keyboard. So I had 2 choices,rent a uhaul,or hire a moving company. I hate driving..gods I really HATE driving. I do enough of it thank you very much. I hit ...

Piano moved by Genetti Trucking.

I needed a piano moved from the upstairs of my home to the basement. I wanted to have it moved within a week's time. I put a bid online and received the accepted bid the same day. Mr. Genetti called and said he was driving his truck from the East Coast the day before and said that he could come by my house the next day to "check things out." Much to my surprise he moved the piano right then an ...

A Piano Surprise For My Husband

My husband has played the piano since he was 5 years old, but has been without one for the last 15 years or so. My parents gave us part of our inheritance early, my great-grandfather's Knabe upright piano. I decided to have it shipped to our house for my husband's birthday surprise. Not knowing where to start in the process of shipping a piano, I turned to Google. Google then led me to UShip ...

My shipper turned out to be as rare a find as the antique piano that I found and purchased on E-Bay.

If only you could have seen what Tony of Toner50 went through to appease me, you would either laugh or cry for him! This was the first time I ever used U-Ship. I was anal in the questions I asked him before choosing him for the job. Speaking of anal, listen to this! Tony went through extraordinary measures to keep us informed of where he was every step of the way and that everything was ok. He ...

Great experience shipping a hot tub

I had to move a hot tub I had won on ebay. It being very heavy and bulky it would be impossible to move myself. I had gathered shipping quotes from various places online and they were coming in at over $1000. I am so glad I did further research and found uShip. I was able to get the hot tub moved by a very reliable company, Legal Transportation, for only $350. I will definitely be using uShi ...

Great piano moving experience

I was able to get a piano moved within a very short amount of time, had several bids to choose from and the whole experience was very satisfactory.

Great experience shipping my art

I was worried about the safety of my artwork since this was my first time using U-ship. However, I trusted the other users' feedback. Much to my surprise, my quote was much lower than commercial carriers, like FedEx who almost always bash a corner of my art boxes. And, they don't like to insure art. I was shipping framed art in wood crates and mounted art in a cardboard box. The driver strapped my ...

New Organ via uShip!

Sometimes things just work out so well you know the universe is looking out for you. After a this-price-will-never-win bid on a dream church organ turned out...to win!...I was faced with somehow fetching a large Allen Church Organ home from far far away. I was about resigned to flying one way, renting a moving van and driving it back, and racking up a very large bill. Then a google search for ship ...

Very Pleased

I had a rocking chair, a wall hanging, a server and a large tote shipped from Detroit to Fort Lauderdale. It was picked up and delivered in an orderly fashion. The men were very nice and did a really good job. I would definitely use them again!

Pool Table Moving

My hunches were right. You do not need to pay a pooltable company rediculous amounts of money for this. There are people who know how to move these who are nice and helpful. Shauna and her brothers Brian and Marcel did an excellent job, and I saved at least $300.00 using them. My 9ft Olhausen rolls perfectly in my new house! I'm very glad I found this site!

Great experiences shipping my piano from Tampa, FL to Atlanta, GA

We have been looking for shipper to ship our grand piano to our son. Calling the shippers listed in yellow book is very time consuming and only resulted in very frustrated responses--never call back as they promised, sky high prices, keep in their stores for two weeks before delivery, etc. While looking for shipper information online, I ran into uship and thought it could be a great idea for fi ...

High Value Shipment (antique grand piano) arrived quickly & in perfect condition

I purchased a grand from a seller in Florida on eBay who need the item moved quickly (out by the end of December) I listed the shipment, and within 3-4 hrs. had three bidders! I selected Imperialtran and he picked up the shipment in Florida and brought it to me in South Carolina the next evening! Great experience, and thank you UShip!

Snowstorm does not stop UShip Shipper from getting my piano home just in time for Christmas!!

Richard picked up our newly purchased piano from an eBay seller in Illinois during a snow storm! He drove slowly, made further stops up to Michigan (in the snow also!!) and made it back in time for the scheduled drop off time. Our piano arrived just in time for Chrismas carols with our kids! Excellent communication!! If you have an organ/piano to move - Richard is your man!! fglc71, Richard Hai ...

moving a pool table

I was skeptical about using uship because I was not familiar with it, but I was desperate to have this pool table moved before Christmas. I could not have been more pleased! I got several interested people and decided on the one I liked the best. Uship was very helpful in letting me know when someone had left a message and the people who ended up with the winning bid were awesome! A great experien ...

Player piano move

I am so glad to have my piano again, after 5 years! Honest moving lives up to its name! When you accept their bid, be sure to call the driver and let him know how far in advance you want him to notify you that he is about to arrive, and then he will call you. He has a good GPS and found our remote warehouse with no problem. We bid and made counter bids and they worked with us. I was confused w ...

Uship

I was traveling and unable to access a computer so I was using my Blackberry to make the arrangements. It was awkward and almost impossible to complete the transaction. Otherwise I found Uship to be very helpful.

Great experience

They shipped an antique telephone switchboard purchased on ebay. They did an inside pickup and delivery and laid out the payment to the seller so the item could be shipped promptly without waiting for a money order payment to reach the seller. I couldn't be more pleased.

Good Experience

This is a great service. Wish I had known about it sooner! I saved a lot of money, time and effort and my piano was safely delivered. I would definitely use Uship again.

Quality service by quality workers

I inherited a player piano from my mom. It was something that was very close for me and held great memories. Ryan took extra care and went above and beyond to make sure it arrived timely and safely. I am very impressed with his business sense and know others will be as impressed. Thanks again, Ryan

Clavinova digital piano move

Very positive experience. Bid was extremely reasonable & movers were great!! Definately will use this site again. Thanks. Mary Abell

Piano move was seamless

My sister told me about uShip and I'm really glad that she did. I had to move my dad's piano to our new apartment (on the third floor) and was able to get several bids on the job through uShip. I was very pleased with the service I received and the price. I will use this service again!
