Not to much impressed with uSHIP
I was looking for a shipping company. I ran across this site, and was happy about site, got a ton of bids, and everything was great until the end.
I accepted the bid, and all of a sudden a silent $12.00 is added as a finders fee, not mentioned.. then I learn that I am to pay a deposit, which is fine,but it would have been nice if this company had taken the whole amount and sent the shipper th ...

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.

U Ship experience
This is the first time I have used U ship. I think it is an excellent idea to help shippers and mover find each other and to bid on the job. However I found scheduling pick up and delivery a nightmare and wasted hours and hours on this due to Uships policy of not letting customers talk to shippers. To me pick up and deliver times are as important as shipping price. I think either the website needs ...

sofa shipped from Surrey to Dublin
The company were helpful in every way. keeping us infomred and very helpful when timing of receipt of goods was an issue. It was a good experience in a world where you find a great lack in care and attention. so we want to congratulate you on this amazing service. thank you

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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,

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 ...

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 ...

I have used FedEX , UPS , DHL ,old dominion and a whole bunch of other shipping companies But I must tell you , USING cyberdine saved me a lot of Mone ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

fantastic
UShip was recommended by some friends, jumped online and within minuets had stuff set up and soon after started to get bids in for my shipment. a week later, product delivered. no hassles, no worries. The iphone app does not work too great though.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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!

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 ...

Moving new bed from Stirling to Cumbria
I had A new Bed that I wanted to move to my Caravan in Cumbria but was not sure of the best way to get this done at a reasonable price. I went on the internet and came up with UShip. The instructions were very clear and I soon had a very good bid from RaymondMathieson. Raymond and his team arrived on time and soon loaded the bed on to his van and set of. I had to be at the Caravan when Raymond a ...

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!!!

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 ...

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 ...

Got delivered 4 pieces of furniture from Stirling to Bucks
I buy furniture on eBay and up until recently I picked up items myself. 3 weeks ago I bought a pair of lovely solid wood Oriental wardrobes with matching side tables. Unfortunately the items were located in Stirling which is 400 miles away from my place. After a long and painful search I found uShip through Google search engine. The site is very user friendly, there is no pre-pay. I got several bi ...

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.

Florida to Kentucky move
This man showed up in FL. the minute he said he would be there. The weather was absolutely boiling hot and humid outside. He picked up and moved everything I had by himself, which I didn't think was humanily possible. I have never seen such a strong man, hardworking man! I never thought he could move these two pieces of very expensive furniture by himself because they were so VERY HEAVY and AW ...

Desk from Atlanta to New York
My son lives in Atlanta and had a beautiful desk that he wanted to put into storage or give to his mother for her use,we live on Long Island. I did not know how I was going to get it here. My Daughter-in-law suggested I check the web for a carrier who might specialize in small interstate shipments. Decided on UShip and everything fell into line. Four days later the desk is sitting in our home offi ...

Moving Grandma's "Stuff"
Our daughters in Texas wanted some of their late grandmother's furniture and paintings, so we needed a way to get them there without breaking the bank. Found uShip on the web, took a chance and did some research. Liked what I saw, put out the info and received 4 bids almost immediately. Bids were spread over a large range of dollars, and being a cheap SOB, I leaned toward the lower end. But I r ...

Uship Services
Uship provides a great service. Their site is friendly, easy to use and it saves lot of time. I was able to find someone who could move my furniture in one day. Company who helped us with move did an excellent job. I would definitely use uship and service provider again.

Terrific
I had several heavy items--couch, antique bed and frame--that I needed to move. I posted the shipment and had bids immediately. One of the bids was for two days after the posting, but it was the right price and right time so I accepted. It all went incredibly smoothly. I have used Uship before and I will use it again! And I saved a ton of money.

Tempurpedic Queen Mattress and Box spring
I had a great experience with uship and my shipping provider "Dandodrive". He did a great job and I recommend him to anybody on uship. He delivered in great time and maintained great communication throughout the process. Don't hesitate to hire Ken from Dandodrive for your shipping needs.

Communication was good, and they arrived at both loading and ...

Great service shipping my chair from Scotland to Hampshire
We bought a medium size antique leather chair from an auction house in Scotland and needed to get it to our home in Hampshire.
We chose UShip because it is a similarly run site to Ebay so it is easy to use and the feedback on the bidders is very helpful to us when we made our choice.
The shipping costs thro UShip are very reasonable compared with some estimates from other companies which we ...

What a great service...
We needed to ship some furniture from Oregon to Southern California. A few fragile pieces and great sentimental value. I'd contacted some of the biggies, and thought I'd be paying a fortune. I'm so happy that Google led me to uShip! I could never have found these guys on my own, and the whole experience was so positive. I saved at least $800, compared to what the big guys were quoting, and I feel ...

shipping large furnitures across the States
This is the first time I have had to contract an outside company to ship a large item. Due to the inconvienence and freight charges I was being quoted elsewhere, I almost cancelled my transaction with the vendor. In the end, I guessed I liked it enough to give the hassel one last shot. This is when I tried UShip online. The process was not as complicated; it actually turned out to be a rewardi ...
