Uship 1st timer

Heard about the service from a seller on Ebay. I was able to register and receive bids in a matter of hours. The whole process took 2 days to book and deliver my merchandise. This is a great service at a more than reasonable cost. I will definately use in the future.

My Move To Florida

this was a last minute urgent move....thomas had our things delivered a day earlier than we expected! we had double our estimated amount to be moved and on top of that to a 16th floor condo. he treated us failrly and had eveything up to the 16th floor quickly. great job, would use again in a heartbeat. Thanks Thomas you were great!!!

sub zerO refrigerator

Was able to ship a 500 lb refrigerator from Sacrament to Tampa for over half the cost of what it would have been otherwise. Worked great. Thanks

Desk from Mn to Pa

Terry took the bid to ship an antique roll top desk from Minnesota to Pennsylvania. Got a call and coordinated details. Terry did as he said with regards to pick up an delivery times. He communicated frequently and was accommodating with regards to placement of the shipment in my garage.

My shipper proves my friends wrong

My spare dresser was just perfect for my sister's new nursery. The problem was getting it from the Chicago suburbs to Los Angeles. I put the word out amongst my friends that I was in need of a shipper. Did anyone have any experience with shipping a single piece of furniture? They all told me that unless my dresser was very valuable it was doubtful that the cost would make it worthwhile. ...

A valuable service for shipping single items

I needed to ship an antique corner cupboard from my mother-in-law in the Washington DC area to my house in Kentucky. Most moving companies will not handle a single item, or else they will charge an arm and two legs. With uShip, I was able to find the other companies that are able to consolidate multiple small shipments and thus spread their cost and reduce their price. In fact, one of them ke ...

good experience

service worked well. i remain a bit uncertain as to the final fee charged me however. was the deposit supposed to be refundable of was that the u-ship fee charge to me? i thought that the total fee was to be $500 but i was charged in aggregate, approx. $580. can you explain? pcb

recliner

Wade contacted the pick up person 24 hrs ahead of time picked up as promised. He contacted me about delivery and delivered as promised. He is great to deal with, friendly and helpful. I would definetly use his services again. ken

family treasures

I had to send what I could not fit in my new much smaller apartment to my daughter in Colorado. A lot of these things were family pieces and I wanted her to have them even though it was a bit difficult to figure out how to get them from Florida to Colorado. I used uship to have someone wonderful take my dog from Philly to Colorado and he took wonderful care of her so I thought this is the place to ...

Great experience shipping furniture

I shipped 5 pieces of furniture from chairs, buffet and table to my niece for her home. They were all old family pieces. The shipper arrived on time as scheduled and took great care in covering the pieces. He was taking them from Tampa to Denver. They arrived as scheduled to my niece's home and she found him very pleasant and very helpful. I will definitely use him again and use uship.

New Bed

A member of my family was moving and did not want their bed anymore and it was in excellent condition. Not wanting to pass up a good opportunity, I decided to look out in internet world to see what was a available. Because it was only a mattress and box spring, I did not need a large vehicle and to rent one was too expensive and so I came upon this website. Wasn't sure about it, but it was perfe ...

Great Experience Shipping Armoire

I needed to ship an Armoire to my mother in Tulsa from New Orleans. She just bought a new house and I'm remodeling mine after Katrina and didn't need the piece of furniture. So I didn't want to spend more than the piece was more and wanted to get it there in good condition. Earl wrote me and said he was headed in the New Orleans way and could do the job for $400. My schedule was flexible since ...

Even Hurricanes can't stop Wizard!

Tony was fantastic to work with, he drove through Hurricane Fay to bring me a shipment. His wife, Becky kept in contact with me as to their progress through the storm. And at the end of the day my new tv and armoire were sitting in my living room! I would highly recommend Creative Moving! -Rebeccca

Antique furniture transport

My wife has wanted her childhood furniture for our children for more than 20 years. Her father misplaced it until just recently. Now that we're 1200 mile apart the care and cost of getting her furniture was excessive, much more than either the material value or sentimental value. Oasis transporation solve this dilemma for me. The UShip process was easy, care was taken to protect the furniture and ...

SOFA SET

ACCEPTED BID VERY FAST. THEY WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND GREAT COMMUNICATORS. THEY EVEN HELPED ME CARRY A COUCH DOWNSTAIRS, [THE FIRST SHIPPER DECLINED TO HELP AND WALKED OUT]. THEY WERE PUNCTUAL AND FRIENDLY. MY BUYERS WERE EXTREMELY PLEASED WITH THEIR SERVICE.

Great experience

We needed to have 2 recliners shipped from California to Dallas. These had belonged to my husband's parents who were recently deceased. Needless to say, we were very concerned about the care, and timing in shipping. Todd was so courteous and professional. The pickup and delivery was right on time, he wrapped the chairs so there was no damage at all, and overall it was a very pleasing experienc ...

Great experience with baby crib

I really wanted to give my baby crib and changing table to my sister but couldn't figure out how to get it from Wisconsin to Massachusetts. I had checked with all major moving companies, freight companies, and even UPS. I ran across uShip on a web search and thought it wouldn't hurt to try. I found a provider who was able to make the delivery for a reasonable cost. I was thrilled with the expe ...

A long-time desire fulfilled using uShip

I started not to share my story, but then I said, why not. I'm almost ashamed to say that the Bob Timberlake Bed I had shipped I've wanted for 17 years -- no joke, literally 17 years. Seventeen years ago it wasn't quite as expensive, but it now retails for over $3,300. I saw it on ebay for $499 in Ohio, for local pickup only. I'm in Georgia. I talked with the seller and he was willng to work ...

first time using uShip

excellent experience. i used a shipper that had many positive transactions in their history and i was not disappointed. i will be using uShip more often. thanks.

Good mattress shipping experience

As a student, I needed my bed shipped cheaply. Using flexible shipping dates, I was able to find a provider for hundreds less than other LTL and freights were offering. Within weeks from my initial uShip account setup, my shipment arrived without a problem 2,000 miles away. I would absolutely use uShip again!

UShip and Mike(mlp677) ROCKS!!

My husband and I bought new leather furniture for our family room. I wanted my sister to have our old leather furniture (which was hardly used).I was worried that it would not be worth the cost of shipping it to her but decided to get an idea of how much it would cost to ship. I googled "how to ship a sofa" and was directed to UShip. Not only was it cost effective, the shipment from pickup to d ...

My Mattress

I have not received my delivery, but I am certain that things will run smoothly. The gentleman was helpful and patient when dealing with me via the UShip site.

shipping furniture with sentimental value

We are not regular users of this service. My daughter moved into her first apartment -- in Manhattan. She wanted her childhood bunk bed moved there from Atlanta. This is absolutely the best way to ship anything too large to mail and too far to drive. We got bids from quite a few people/companies and found one reasonably priced that was willing to pick up and deliver the item within out limited t ...

Boxes of wedding gifts.

My shipment was handled as if I were taking care of it myself. I had boxes of wedding gifts sent from Ohio to South Carolina better than if I would have done it myself. Usually when you send a package by other shippers you worry until it arrives. I had two boxes of antique crystal included in my other items and they were handled like they belonged to my service provider. I was promptly informe ...

Hot pack heater

Hot pack heater purchased on ebay. Seller did not car to arrange shipping. UShip enabled pickup, packing and delivery unavailable from regular transportation carriers. Very satisfied.

Wonderful Service

College moves are difficult and more so when a mother is at a distance arranging it. My daughter is starting graduate school in Washington. She was living and working in Long Beach, California. Her possessions were dear to her, but not really valuable. They didn't all fit into neat boxes. Her big leather desk chair was her most dear possession and a most desired item to restart her student ...

Great experience

Legal did a great job moving me from Virgina to Florida. They called to see if they could pick up a day early--Sunday evening, which freed me up on Monday to work. They packed my furniture up. They delivered it on Tuesday morning to Florida in fine shape. I would definitely use them again and recommend them for East Coast moving, which I believe they do exclusively.

Retail Fixtures

I purchased fixtures for my optical shop that were in Oregon, I am in Iowa. After getting quotes for shipping the large, bulky, and heavy items I was ready to give up. I placed the ad on the uShip site as my last hope. Sure enough, I got a bid. Not only a bid, a very reasonable bid. I was able to save over $6,000. Mike picked up the shipment that evening and had it ready to deliver ahead of ...

Move of Hot tub from NJ to NC

The day our moving company came they then refused to move our hot tub after already seeing it and putting it on contract. Left us hanging. Started searching for haulers all over the internet, saw the UShip ad come up. I logged onto Uship,posted my shipment and needs, got several bids, found a perfect match due to experience in moving hot tubs with CK Fahey hauler and the rest is sweet his ...

antique table

My daughter left an antique table with her brother in Denver when she moved to New York City several years ago. My son is now moving elsewhere and we needed to ship the single item (table) from Denver to New York City. I found uShip when I googled shipping companies. The shipper I found was very timely and the price was great, less than I had expected to spend. The planning was easy, the pick ...

Everything was great

I had to send a bunch of household goods down to my daughter in Texas. It would have cost a fortune and been a real headache to pack if I'd used FedEx or UPS, so I was very glad to find Earl. He was friendly and very helpful, especially at the other end. I'd use his service again--in fact, I probably will use it again next time I have to send stuff to my daughter. The whole experience was easy ...

Super experience in delivery of mattress.

Pat did an excellent job in preparing the mattress for shipping and took great care in getting it delivered. Highly recommend Pat for anything he is willing to take on.

Great experience

We had an 8' x 12' wooden playhouse that my 2 kids could not live without. We were part of a corporate relo and the only thing they wouldn't move was the playhouse. Uship and the person we used were lifesavers. Thanks Uship you made two children and there parents very hapy!

Quick process

I posted by bid and receive several offers that same day. I waited to see if other bids came in closer to my target price. On the 3rd day I recieved a questions froma bidder asking if I was still interested in moving my piano. I asked if he would accept a lower bid. He agreed and arrived at the pick-up location within an hour. He delivered my piano the next morning after a 390 mile trip!

Great experience shipping a valuable fragile large item.

I contacted Uship because I had a large fragile wooden cradle that I needed to ship 800 miles. It would have been difficult and expensive to package it safely to send it via regular mail. Uship helped me find a shipper who had a moving van returning from my area after a delivery to my destination. Their moving van was virtually empty and they would wrap the cradle in many blankets to protect it ...

Move a 48" range

I was delighted to won a bid on a 48" DCS range completed with hood! but the seller stated that the range must be removed within 3 days from bid won. The seller will not pack or making any arrangment for the local pickup. I was so relieved when I got 4 bids within the first day after the posting! The way the uship faciliates the communication was also making it easy to keep track who is what. If ...

shipping of our couch

My first experience with uShip was mostly favorable. I got a sufficient number of bids and most of them were in range of my budget. The response portion was a little confusing, as there is no way to communicate with the bidder until you have accepted their bid, other than to "ask a question" even if you only need to leave a response. Once understood, that portion of the negotiations went more smoo ...

moving my daughter

Used Uship to move my daughters apartment from School and it was a smooth deal all the way! I will be back. Thank you USHIP!

Great Experience shipping Dinghy

I struggled with how I was going to pick up the small 10' boat I purchased on eBay until I found U-ship. The concept of getting bids on shipments is awesome. I wanted to keep the costs down so I was patient with the schedule. My shipper NOGAMEZ responded immediately, was very easy to work with and delivered the boat in perfect condition for a very fair price. I would defintely use the service ag ...

Fabulous Savings

I'd gotten myself into a jam using storage pods - they wanted five times the value of the goods to deliver to my new home. I'd estimated a various options and finally remembered about u-Ship. It was very easy to place the bid and I got excellent quotes. I found exactly the type of shipper/mover that I was looking for at a 50% cost savings. I've very, very pleased and have recommended that fri ...

Easy Affordable shipment

I was amazed at how easy it was to place my shipment on this system and how many and how quickly I received bids. I was able to have my mower shipped to me for about the cost of what I would have spent in gas going to get it. Even had the pleasure of getting a shipper willing to stop by my parent's home on the way here and picking up a couch they were giving us.

Delivery of a Mayor McCheese statue

This was a perfect transaction. Roger kept in touch throughout the transaction,keeping me informed the entire time. He arrived at my residence exactly when he said he would. He even took my schedule into consideration, wanting to make it as easy and convenient for me, which was awesome(I work the night shift). He was pleasant, professional and personable which made him very easy to work with. I re ...

shipping to arkansas

My move was much easier using Uship. I labeled my shipment "URGENT", and I received competitive bids within a few days. Within a week of posting my shipment, I had a shipper ready to pick my stuff up. The shipper I chose was very easy to work with, and everything arrived on-time.

Incredible shipping with U-Ship

With my parents being out of town, and my car too small, I needed to get my mattress and box spring from Cincinnati to Purdue University. I'd never used UShip before but had heard good things so I decided to give it a shot. I got connected with a great shipper named Mike, and he arrived perfectly on time to pick up my mattress. Upon delivery he even helped me carry it into my room and set it up ...

shopping furniture

I won an ebay auction after making contact with the uship vendors to be certain that I could make the timing and price work. The BFservices guys had to connect with a NYC warehouse during certain hours, arrange for the pickup, make sure the item was as described (basically a new chair), cover and load an upholstered chair, drive to Maine and deliver the chair while I was home. They did it!!! and t ...

First time

This was my first time to use UShip any we are very happy!! This site was referred to us and I have done the same. We needed 2 pieces of furniture delivered to coustomer's home and set up. Our customer is also very happy!

Hassle free

Had a great experience using UShip.....was unaware of them before. Wish I would have known about them a while back - would have been good to know when interested in eBay items that are for "pick-up only". Thanks

Easy and Very Reasonable

We needed to ship some large and cumbersome items (mattress, tv, tandem bike, etc) and we paid 1/3 of what the standard shipping companies were going to charge. I will use uShip from now on and have told numerous friends about it.

USHIP WEBSITE AND MOVER

CALLED SEVERAL SHIPPING LINES AND FINALLY ONE OF THEM TOLD ME TO LOG ON TO USHIPIT...COULD NOT HAVE BEEN HAPPIER..GREAT PRICES,GREAT COMMUNICATION...ALMOST CAN'T WAIT TO BUY AND SHIP SOMETHING AGAIN WILL NEVER TRY TO FIND MY OWN SHIPPING AGAIN...WHAT A GREAT WEBSITE..WISH I HAD THOUGHT OF IT...aND MY SHIPPER DAVID WAS FABULOUS!!!!!!

Boat Shipping

uShip is great so we will use the site again. I have never shipped a boat and it is my nature to worry about everything. uShip made it so simple. No worries about shipping again and now I know how to ship and what site to use. Everything went so smooth. Thanks uShip. Martin E.
