Great experience shipping my sectional sofa

I made a beautiful but impulsive buy on ebay of a victorian style sofa from a seller 200 miles away! I thought I wold have figured out a way to get it without much trouble! All my original options fell through and I found out that u haul would have been 140.00 plus gas plus all the inconvenience of driving a total of 400 miles! I would also have had to have a friend drive for me since I would no ...

u helped me, u ship

When my husband died suddenly this winter I didnt know how in the world I would get his scarred old roll top desk down to his son in Maryland. It was too big and bulky for me to drive down and I knew it meant a lot to Matt. That's when I went online and found uship. Alistair Hudson was one of 3 bidders who responded to my appeal and although I was skeptical anything could be so easy, I made a deal ...

Great experience shipping a leather couch from FL to NC

My parents who live in Fl had a leather couch they didn't want anymore and generously donated it to our home. We live in NC and weren't sure how to get it up here. Renting a van or u-haul would have been expensive, plus the rising cost of gas was no invitation for 350 mile drive. We searched online for a single way transportation service and uship was the result. It was a great solution for us. W ...

piano

The entire staff from initial contact to pick up and delivery were professional and helpful beyond expectations. I have been trying to find a way to get my daughter's piano from our home to hers in the next state. When I came upon U-ship, I wasn't sure what to expect. After one poor experience trying to coordinate the delivery, I was contacted by Congressionalpianomovers. What a wonderful experie ...

Great experience with this Company. The communication was excellent,

We really enjoyed working with Rodnov he was timely, had a great attitude, and was a hard worker. We need more people like him, who can be counted on and take their job so serious. We will definitely use him agin.

Convenience

UShip is a great and inexpensive way to ship goods. The online experience was very easy. The site is very navigable. This is my first experience but I will deffinatley use UShip again.

1st Shipment: Excellent!

I sell antique furniture which includes a lot of heavy, awkward sized items that can't be shipped other ways. So I have been quoting lots of shipments for potential buyers hoping to complete the deal, and also get a deal with uShip. I have found them to be an invaluable resource and was happy to make a sale and be able to accept a bid! This was for an old 1800's broom chopper table that is used to ...

Great Experience!

Perfect service, thanks.

Great way to move furniture!

I needed to get a box spring and mattress to my daughter for her new apartment out of state. I did not want to tie it to the top of the car! Using uShip was easy and effective. I received multiple bids and was able to get the bed to my daughter within a few days of placing the ad. My daughter does not have to sleep on the floor! I would definately use uShip again, and have already told frie ...

2 large pieces of oak bedroom furniture

I have never purchased furniture independently and had to trust both the seller and a moving company that I found on my own. Well, this was a perfect 1st experience!!!!!!! The man that moved my 2 pieces (coors72) from the mid west to the Jersey shore (NJ) was the most pleasant, friendly and accomodating person! He kept in touch daily and arrived exactly when promised.His name is Duff:duff@ea ...

pennsylvania house furniture to Texas

A nephew wanted this bedroom set to remember his grandmother, who reciently passed away in NJ. We called all the commercial movers in the phone book and was told that 6 pieces would be very expensive to ship..Some told us to wrap and deliver it to a central shipping point or put it on a pallet wrap it put it in the driveway and a truck would come and pick it up in a couple of days. Too much work ...

Super Shipper & Super Service

I had furnature from Mass., two in Ohio and Illinois. The wonderful person Kyle, not only stood by to pick up one of my shipments in Ohio, when the person I had purchased the item from was extremely difficult. He fought the battle for me and got my furnature when I couldn't be there to do it and would've lost a great deal of money. He kept me informed continually during the trip of the status and ...

small shipment economies

I needed only a half dozen or so items from a storage locker on the other side of the country. Regular moving companies wanted a couple of thousand dollars. By listing the move with uShip and specifying that I was in no hurry, I was able to work with American Moving for about $500, instead. The company added my items to a truck that was already going to make this trip and had a little extra space. ...

I was new to shipping furniture across state.

I had recently purchased furniture off e-bay and had to figure out how to ship the desk set from Ohio to Illinois since the sellers didn't have a resource. I went online and found uShip which provided a comparison/competitive approach for finding the right shipper. It was effortless since all I had to do was provide the information and I quickly received bids in which to select from. Since uSh ...

U-Ship when the movers don'y move you.

I had a 10-month contract and had accumulated a few pieces of furniture which I wanted to keep and use in my guest room back home. All the moving companies were rather competetive, yet their price was way out of line because the amount of goods I was shipping was less than one-third of their minimum weight and volume. So, obviously, their price was 3 times what it "should" have been if they char ...

Outstanding service.

I won an antique sofa on e-bay, and I thought shipping was included. It wasn't. I checked with a few moving companies, and their prices were much too high for my budget. I came across u-ship on the internet. What a lifesaver! The whole process was so easy. A few click wth my mouse and my sofa was listed. I almost immediately received bids to haul my sofa. I accepted a bid from "Using-my- ...

Great Guys

These two guys were the best. I had them move a chair from the NYC to CT and they couldnt have been more professional. They called me to confirm. They were punctual and the whole experience went quickly and without any hassel. in one word: Perfect!

Daybed and boxes

My friend needed a daybed and some misc. items shipped from his home in Chicago to his home in Palm Springs, California. I offered to help him get some bids, and found it very difficult to handle through a traditional moving company. Even though the shipment was not that big, we would still have to pay for the minimum 1000lbs. They also were not very flexible on the dates because it was such a sm ...

crib and chest

A++++ to deal with. Great delivery.

Toolbox arrived with some dents...

I think they learned when shipping an 800# toolbox not to secure it to the wall with some metal hooks that will ruin the edges of a $7,000 toolbox. but they made it right by replacing the damaged parts. ...mark

Shipping Furniture

High Praise! Originally I called the recommended shippers on the listing for the dresser I won on ebay. Their price was anywhere from $250 to $400 and couldn't deliver for two months. I listed it on uShip and put a target price of $225. I got three bids with-in two days. I accepted a bid and got the item three days later! I definately will use uShip for all my large ebay purchases, and have reccom ...

First uShip experience was terrific!

On a Friday evening I posted our request to ship 3 large items: a treadmill, a couch and 3-piece wall unit, from the DC area to NJ . I received an offer within hours and by Saturday afternoon, all the details were settled and the match was completed. The price was extremely reasonable, considering the labor, distance and the rising gas prices. uShip fills an extraordinary role by bringin ...

Family heirloom story

When my mom passed away this year, i had to get some of her furniture to the other side of the country from New York to Seattle. I found the right shipper on Uship, her name was Jackie. She was wonderful and took good care of my mom's dinning room set. One piece was a glass curiocabinet which I was scared would be damaged. Everything arrived wrapped and well taken care of. We now have the dinn ...

Couldn't have gone smoother...

I've used the site a few times and must say it's a great way to get things shipped. I have yet to have a bad experience. The shippers are friendly, timely and professional. I highly recommend using UShip.com for all your shipping needs. Eileen Wise Never Forget IXXI

Great-Grandma's Table

Table belonged to my Great Grandmother on my grandpa's side. My aunt & uncle have moved into a retirement community & didn't have room to keep it. The original plan was for me to drive down and pick it up (I'm off work for several weeks for a couple of shoulder and arm surgeries) After some calls between us, my wife told me about u-ship. I put up a bid to move the table from South Carolina t ...

Shipping large breakfront

I wanted to bid on a breakfront but was shocked by the high shipping fees. I wasn't going to be able to bid and was losing out on the perfect piece for my dining room. I contacted uship from a recommendation of a friend. I immediently received a bid far lower than I had been quoted from a national shipper. I bought the piece and was eagerly awaiting when my original shipper had to cancel due t ...

Shipped Antique Dresser

My Mom died in November and left some magnificent antique furniture to my children.I received bids from $1500-$2500 to ship a dresser to Central New York! I found Uship.com by surfing the net and the whole process from placing my shipping needs to accepting bids was a very simple process. Our high bidder, Howard, was outstanding. I've already recommended Uship.com to my friends, and will contin ...

Great experience amidst a difficult time.

My mom recently passed away and as you can imagine, it was a rough time. I wanted some of her antique furniture. She lived in Syracuse, NY and I in Atlanta. I looked into renting a truck but it was way too expensive for me. I'm so happy a friend suggested I try the internet. I found U-ship and I found Paul with Executran 26 there. What a God-send. Paul was more than reasonable; I saved hundreds of ...

UShip is a GREAT concept

I used UShip for the first time to ship 2 antique chairs from Pennsylvania to Virginia. I received about 6 bids on my listing, selected the one that worked best for me, and received my chairs in great condition and very quickly. The feedback system was VERY helpful in selecting a shipper. UShip is a GREAT concept, and I highly recommend it if you like to buy furniture on EBay or need to move th ...

"Worry-free" Piano Moving

My husband and I wanted to ship a piano to our granddaughter in another state. The piano had been in our family for more than 60 years. We considered U-haul, but at our age loading and unloading would have been a BIG problem. We would have needed to hire help and then tow a U-Haul or tow our car behind a U-Haul. While we were considering what to do, my husband saw a newspaper article about uShip. ...

Great experience shipping my bar

My dad wanted me to have his bar that was sitting in storage. I needed to get it down from Stockton, CA to San Diego area because I was paying for it to be in storage each month. I was having a hard time finding time to get up there and had to figure out how I would get it down once I did get there. I either had to rent or borrow a truck or pull a trailer behind my car. By accident, I found uShip, ...

Antique from Sister to Sister

My mother (now 85 yrs old) refinished an old Hoosier Cabinet that she had found abandoned in the basement of an old farm house. She and my Dad restored it and found some antique glass for the doors of the hutch. It was beautiful and especially because my parents worked on it. I've had it for years, but now I'm downsizing and must move it out. When our shipper showed up, we learned is was from ...

Great experience despite reservations

I was very hesitant about this whole thing after reading about Uship in the news. I am not very computer savy but it was easy to do online and I was very pleasantly surprised by Joe & Allgoodmoving. I was nervous trusting my mother's piano to anyone but once we met Joe our fears subsided. The service was wonderful. I couldn't think of a negative thing to say. I wouldn't hesitate to use uShip o ...

Happy with Legal Transportation

This was my 1st shipping experience on U- Ship. I won a desk on E-Bay and afterwards wondered how hard it was going to be to find someone that would be affordable and take good care of my item when shipping. I called a handfull of companies through the internet and they were either way too expensive, didn't ship oversized items or only shipped certain materials. I received a bid from Legal Transp ...

Big Geode

It was well taken care of it arrived in one piece and I would use uship again

Valuable site using USHIP service providers

I have now used USHIP twice within 2 years, and have saved over $15,000 between the 2 moves. Don't be afraid to take advantage of the independent companies that can reduce your costs by 75% under brokered/large company estimates. I am thrilled with my experiences with 2 differant movers. Good luck!

Nice to work with

I was sending a heavy sleeper sofa from Manhattan to Brooklyn. They were a little delayed by traffic, but very cautious getting the sofa out of the apartment and into the van. When they arrived in Brooklyn, they took the sofa up to the second floor (there was no elevator) only to find out that the darn thing wouldn't fit through the door. They took the door off the hinges and tried again, but no l ...

I like Uship

I like uship. I always write stories here, but i never get my t-shirt or hat.

So easy to work with!

I needed to ship a crib (many parts), a tankless water heater and some pool cue sticks to Montana. I received a bid for pick up the next day! I was unable to do it that day and lucky for me he ended up leaving a day later and contacted me to see if I still needed my stuff delivered. I was thrilled and thankful he remembered me. I had him contact my husband to arrange a pick up time. He contacted ...

furniture

The whole process was fast and efficent. I would use your service again and am very pleased

Crib and Dresser

I'm not sure if I saved any money - but that wasn't what I was looking to do. I was looking to ship the crib and dresser to my daughter - who is expecting her first baby and our first grand daughter! I purchased the set at a charity auction and the cost was so low that the shipping costs were well within our budget for the furniture! The driver from Legal was very professional and managed to ...

really no story

No real story here. Just had to ship some items from my wife's mother's house in New York to our home in Florida. Howard MacAlister did a great job of coordinating the pickup and delivery and took good care of all items.

You saved me a 1500 mile drive

I was trying to get a family heirloom delivered to a relative in Arizona. It was a Morris Chair that belonged to my great-grandparents. I contacted several 'pack and ship' places. At the time, I could save money by driving it to a midway point and handing it off to my relatives. Then gas prices jumped up some more. I really didn't want to make that long a drive, and decided I'd see what the I ...

Great first time experience with UShip

I didn't know UShip exhisted until a week ago when we started looking into moving some furniture to another state to my daughter. The company that had the best price on the bid did a great job of picking up, loading, and delivering the items right on time. Thanks for a great experience. I'll use UShip again and recommend it to others.

Office Furniture residential

My company was moving and gave me some vintage furniture. The KBradford Team did a wonderful job moving the items from Arlington to Savannah. Everything was wrapped and protected very well. Would use this team for any move I had!!!
