Returned a giant stuffed animal!

When our second child was born, we received a generous gift of a huge stuffed animal from FAO Schwartz. Unfortunately, we owned the very same one already! We had to pay return shipping so I tried uShip and saved 50% vs. FedEx and UPS. However, when my courier delivered the item back to the Vegas store - she discovered that it had closed down! (a fact which FAO neglected to tell us when we called ...

my first time with uship

Didn't really know what to expect from the website, but took a chance on it and glad I did. Everything went well, and price was reasonable. Jaime was easy to work with, obviously cared about doing everthing right and taking care not to damage the furniture. Will certainly use him again if the need arises.

Lawn tractor shipment

This was our first shipment using uShip and boy did we hit a home run booking with Farmers Transporting. We needed a lawn tractor ship from Maryland to Arizona and Eric and Ron did a fabulous and professional job the whole way. From the booking to delivery, Farmers Transporting took care of it all. Excellent communication! Eric kept us posted to ensure a smooth pickup and delivery. The G.P.S. trac ...

I had a very heavy mixer that need moved. There was no way I could lift,or move it. uship,and their service provider moved it for me, and they did a wonderful job. I will use uship again when needed. Thanks to all, Barb

Great Experience Moving Furniture

We needed a high quality furniture set moved more than 1000 miles. After getting several expensive commercial estimates, we posted the delivery on uShip. Within a week, we had located a high-quality shipper, and saved hundreds of dollars from the traditional commercial moving services. I don't need to do these kinds of things often, but this is a great service, and an extremely positive experience ...

good - except a small detail

Everything with the shipment bidding and delivery was fine, but I can't work out how to pay the remaining balance on paypal through the uship site - would help if there was a link for outstanding payment as in Ebay.

UShip is a great tool, overall experience has been excellent

This is my second time using UShip; Excellent sight, user friendly, and great way to save money. The providers I have used have been highly professional and willing to work with me on all levels. Takes the guesswork out of shipping; Saves the user money, and gives you peace of mind to know who you are dealing with. Thanks UShip!

Fragile aircraft wings shipped

I purchased a set of fabric covered experimental aircraft wings at the other end of the country. The price was great, but how could something like that be shipped for a reasonable price, without having to pay someone to crate them up for a lot of money. Uship is the only way! I used it for other odd thing like a set of aluminum floats, which are just a bulky and fragile as a set of wings. Every t ...

Amazing experience with my U Ship provider!!!!

Going into this blind, and relying on faith directly after the loss of my Father was no east undertaking. My shipment consisted of a pricy washer dryer set, and several boxes. After looking through feedback for several of your providers, as well as checking prices, I settled on Mike Hill (Hillobit), to ship my items from New Jersey to Florida. I could not be more pleased with the service ...

Set your price

Last year the median price for the same shipment was ... $880+ - no way I would have ever paid that. I put down that I would pay up to $325. I had takers but ended up not shipping. This year, the median price for the same shipment was $370. What happened to the other $500 since last year? WE happened. Give the price you can pay, within the limits of fairness. If no one accepts, then you kno ...

70 year old cradle

I contracted with Ted and Judy to deliver MY cradle from C.P.,NY to Palm Bay, FL. My great grandchild is due in late Dec. I can hardly wait to have that child sleep in the same cradle I slept in 70 yrs. ago!!Ted and Judy are very personable and take great pride in the service they provide. The cradle arrived in perfect condition! They accepted my proposed fee and were very diligent in keeping i ...

I had never used this service before and it was the first time I had bought furniture on ebay. Once i had won my bid on ebay i confirmed the bid for delivery from windsorman to collect and ship down to cornwall. I was contacted that evening- we exchanged details and the item was collected and delivered on time- really easy and a very friendly service- would definitely use again. cathy callington c ...

uShip experience

I was shipping a few miscellaneous items from my parents' home to my new apartment. The shipper I met on uShip worked out great.

Glass fronted cabinet.

Having tried several removals companies & considered different options, I thought I would have to hire a van myself & try to move the item which would have been extremely difficult & costly. I was delighted to find uShip & find such a fast & friendly company to take on the work straight away! Matt Sellers Transport was in every way excellent. Great experience. Will spread the word. Thank you.

Courier service for single size Pine bed

Pine bed bought at auction via Ebay - needed to get transported from Wiltshire to North Wales. Decided to try UShip for quotes. Delighted at quick responses from courier services & that the prices quoted fell within my budget. Courier chosen turned out to be extremely good in every respect (see feedback already provided). I will definitely use UShip again in the future.

A Surprise Purchase in Austin has a Happy Ending in NJ!

We were in Austin for a combined vacation/conference/family visit and never imagined we would buy furniture. Well low and behold we stopped in on a great shop - Uncommon Goods on South Congress St. in Austin and found a great modern sideboard/bookcase for a very fair price. But we knew shipping costs would prove prohibitive. The shop owner agreed, but suggested that we try Uship.com. This was new ...

Entertainment Center Delivery

Really like it when a bidder comes in the center and is very flexible. They bid, I accepted, and they picked up the next day all the way from GA. Came straight to my house, went straight to the destination house in SC. Note: Local movers cannot do that. So that was very impressive!! Really admire the motivation and dedication the team demostrated with getting the job done with care. Job was succes ...

Terrific experience

I needed to ship some furniture from Chicago to my brother in Connecticut. When I found UShip, I was pleased with how easy it was and how transparent the marketplace and bidding process was. It was terrific. My vendor, Adam Brooks of Brooks Transport couldn't have been more flexible, trustworthy and accomodating. The fact is, I booked the shipment in March yet due to being out of count ...

Family Heirloom

Shipping some items can be very challenging when you don't have accounts with large firms. Uship seems to be a great brokerage service for the little guy with an occasional shipment that won't fit well with big companies. My Grandfather passed away in the early 1960's. My only memories of him were sitting in this chair. I was happy to find an affordable way to get it shipped over 2,000 miles ...

First time Shipper, Went Great!

This was my first time using this service. I was a little nervous after reading a few bad stories online. It is scary to trust thousands of dollars in goods with a total stranger driving away. We were moving delicate appliances also. We ended up going with the first bid we got, though we received plenty. Many responses struck me as professional, capable and ready to do the job. We chose Jeff an ...

Great Tool

Its a great tool...! Totally recommend it as I found a good deal on here for my move which otherwise could have never been possible. Cheers....! DJ

Furniture shipment

This was the first time I used Uship. Very good experience. 5 stars to Vic. I will use his company again. The cost to ship and deliver met my companies budget. The furniture arrived in perfect condition. And most of all my customer is very pleased.

Transport of furniter

Good experience overall. The shipper was excellent. Happy wih number of bids received. Found the site a little hard to navigate and find things but resolved it. Will use uShip again and recommend others!

Good

I was previously using its competitor (sh**ly) before, but, for 2 wks, I could not find a courier that will honour their bids to collect and deliver a bookcase. When I listed my request on uShip, I got delivery done within the very next day by a very friendly courier. Thanks.

No Hassle shipping a refrigerator, great experience

Bruce had to be at the pick up site between 4pm and 5pm, if not he would not get the job, Bruce made it at 4pm. Job well done Bruce. we were shipping a used Sub Zero refrigerator from Philly to LI NY got it as a gift. i called a local shipping comp from Philly he wanted $550. we saved over $200. i will use uShip and recommende it to my friends and family.

Good experience

I was shipping a piece of furniture that I had bought. Uship was easy and I got a decent price. Paul was a great courier and I was very pleased with the overall experience. Will consider again.

Moving Memories from ME to OH

My folks sold their home of 54yrs and moved into a 2 bedroom apartment. Problem was they live in ME and I live in OH. They were only taking smaller pieces of furniture and I was offered some of the other items. Not top of the line antiques, but I'm 58, and I did grow up with them : ) Husband told me about uShip from watching the Clark Howard show. Found it very easy to use and received ...

Shipped luggage

I will definitely use UShip again. It provided great rates which was quite affordable for me to ship my items from Chicago to Georgia. I received adequate bids that were in my budget.

Reunited with my boxes

When I moved abroad a few years ago, I sold just about everything and then stored a few boxes of personal items in my parents' basement in Seattle. I moved back to the States - but to Austin this time - and am finally reunited with my boxes! Frank and Lois (aka seattledriver) are what I love about uShip. They are are a dynamite husband-and-wife team who will make you feel crazy for ever considerin ...

18th Centry Grandfather clock shipped safely to California for the UK

This clock originally started out in Europe, and was given to me by my great great uncle who was a 'Prisoner of war' in in the spice islands of Indonesia during the 40's. He passed away recently well into his 90's and I had the tough task of trying to find a safe way to get my clock to the US. Luckily I found uShip who matched me with a service provider who safely packaged and shipped my clock v ...

Best shipping around

I was looking into different ways to ship some household items for a cross country move, and someone reccomended uShip. I used the uShip calculator to determine how much I could expect to pay a provider to ship my goods, and it was far cheaper than the cost of renting the smallest U-Haul. The odd thing is that after I posted my shipment, most of the bids I recieved were way above what I expected ...

Blanket wrapped Oven Range

Had an oven range to ship from NJ to FL. Because it wasn't palletized I just knew I would have trouble finding a shipper to take the job. I was fortunate to have found USHIP and a really great couple who blanket wrapped and transported the unit for only slightly more than it would have cost me if it were palletized... I posted my ad and had the job booked within 24 hours... Very happy with my ...

Shipping a pallet cross country in excellent time!

I needed to book a forwarder to pick up a pallet in California destined to leave for Miami the following day. Jones LTL was so dedicated that they made a quick bid, which I accepted the same night and the next day the pallet was picked up.

Brilliant experience. So easy to arrange.

This was the first time that I had needed to transport a piece of furniture without being able to do it myself. I purchased a large antique chest of drawers in Preston and had to get it home to Norwich. From filling in the uShip online form to receiving the chest the process was easy and problem free. I chose a provider with good feedback who was also one of the most reasonable cost wise. The ...

Will love to use again RG Transport for my next move

We had very nice experience shipping my home stuff from San Francisco, CA to Salem, OR. Delbert (Del) is very professional, mature and very nice to work with. He was on time and loaded/unloaded very professionally. He made my move very smooth and economical. I will strongly recommend RG Transport for your next move. Thank you Del and I will definitely love to take your service for my next move nee ...

Delivery of Asian Chest

I had one piece of furniture to deliver from one state to another. It was an Asian chest that belonged to my great Aunt. She recently passed away and had wanted me to have this chest.....but I needed to figure out how to get it from her home to mine. Moving companies were way too expensive and most didn't want to deal with single item shipments. I searched online and found a comment from someo ...

My UShip Experience

My experience of using Uship has been excellent. It was my first time, and initially i was hestiant to move my shipment through a site and bidding process, however once i logged into uship and understood this simple process - i realized that it is infact an easy, hazzle free and the best way of moving the stuff in a conducive way, which is mutually beneficial to both the parties. I will surely use ...

Carraige of Table

An excellent service provided by bikes on the run. Feedback for bikes on the run all positve. Many thanks

Mahogany four-poster bed

Shipper moved a mahogany four-poster bed from Michigan to Texas. Bed was picked up and was delivered on time and in perfect condition. Shipper was particularly conscientious about communications while en route, giving timely updates regarding his progress and specific dates/times for both pick-up and delivery. This was a very positive experience; I would not hesitate to use this shipper again. ...

UShip was great!

I needed to ship 5 large pieces of furniture from LA to Portland. Going through referrals from friends/family, the lowest price I could find was $1000! I did a quick search on line and found uShip, and decided to try it out. Within a day I had three bids: two for $800 and one that let me name my own price. The moral of the story: I got my goods shipped up me for $650 safely and within the week. ...

My USHIP Experience

I had never used UHSIP before. We had to move furniture from a little town in the middle of nowhere California to downtown LA. It was interesting to be able to do all of our searching for good and reasonable service online. The bidding process was easy and comfortable to use. I liked being able to ask and answer questions on my own timeline. We had many bids for our furniture move, so I had plenty ...

Shipping two chairs from Florida to Ohio

I needed to ship two chairs from Florida to Ohio and did not want to pay an exhorbitant amount to do it. I discovered Uship on the internet. What a great find. I think this is a super way for smaller companies to get some business and help individuals at the same time. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to be smart about their money and promote others to success as well. J.G.

So happy I found Uship!

I had recently moved into a new house and quickly realized that all of my furniture was not going to fit. My mom had always loved my entertainment center so I thought I would send it to her. I started researching shipping carriers and was surprised by how expensive all of the quotes I received were. For me, it did not make sense to pay more for shipping something than I had originally paid for it. ...

Sod Cutter

Shipping a sod cutter from Ft Worth to KC. These guys are great to work with - professional and great service for a good price. I will definitely use them again.
