uShip = lots of money saved
I had my parents' antique dining room table shipped from Michigan to New Orleans for around $240, all fees etc. considered. I tried several other shipping websites first, and found no bids for this shipment less than $700, because they were all entered by large moving companies. I really like uShip because it connects the customer with smaller service providers, like my shipper, Scott with Kingdom ...

Credenza
I was shipping a large credenza about 200 miles to my new home. We were originally going to try and sell it, but decided to look into shipping it instead. Ken came in with a really competitive price and had great feedback.
I was worried it was too good to be true. I had heard some good and bad stories about shipping companies. There were a few delays but I did get the shipment the day I expect ...

Large marble topped server
Extreme care was taken in the movement of the piece. The drivers were really nice guys and Filip was very professional in the coordination of the shipper's availability and mine :)

sofa story
We needed to get a sofa from Peterborough to West Sussex quickly and cheaply. I reckon Uship saved us at least half of normal courier costs. All the quotes received were in good order and I had a lot of confidence in getting a reliable company to transport the goods. I am really happy with Uship and will not only use you again but will recommend the site to others. I was especially confident becau ...

A positive experience.
I purchased a loveseat on ebay and needed to ship it from VA to MN. Uship was helpful in connecting me to various shippers, even others who had extra room in their truck/moving truck, and who could move the sofa for me within my price range. Thanks for the connection.

move from akron ohio to La California
I had all my possessions in plastic footlocker totes and they fit on the pallets easily. This broker was wonderful and everything was shipped via Fed Ex freight, so there was no problems. Thanks Uship!

Shipping with uship
Thank you uship! It has been an honor using your service. It is wonderful knowing that there are still lndividuals in the shipping business that take pride as professional in the transportation of products and merchandise. The bid process saved me $800.00. Uship took all the head aches out of the process by allowing me to select a shipper through it's rating system and by viewing comments from pr ...

Recent shipment
Scott & Jim were totally awesome. It was so hot when they delivered our furniture and they were still smiling and very helpful getting things off the truck and into the house.
I would recommend them to anyone who needs fast, convenient and courteous service.

Door to Room delivery of Corner Bath
Very pleased with the service of team of 3 who pick-ed up and hand delivered a bath - even placing it in the room where it will be fitted! Most delivery guys just do a kerb-side dumping - whatever the weather.
Great price deal too!
Would rather use u-ship than any other shipping/courier service.

Exceeded Expectation
I shipped a rather valuable antique and some other items to my son in Missouri. Don Garlick's service and communication was outstanding.
The U-ship service is good, but perhaps inconsistent. The amount of deposit seems to vary as does the cost of shipment.

Solid Cherry Dining Table, Chairs, Hutch by Bob Timberlake
Wow! From Minneapolis to Detroit in a day and a half! Tom drove 700 miles with a very heavy dining set consisting of a solid cherry table, six chairs, and a glass and cherry hutch in no time! The furniture was cared for as if it was his own! I'm very impressed with the level of service provided by this man and his company. I highly suggested anyone take advantage of this expert professional s ...

I am happy with u ship, I will use them again in the future. It was simple and the bidding system is ideal.

Fantastic service!
I shipped an antique piece of furniture that belonged to my Great Gran and a box of crockery that was special to my Grandparents. Both items are of great sentimental value.
Bickie tookgreat care of the items - both arrived in perfect condition. I saw how the items were secured in the van and was extremely impressed.
I would use Bickie again in a flash!

Great way to ship furniture and boxes.
Everything went as described. The shipper returned calls, stuck (within reason) to the tentative schedule and was conscientious about protecting furniture pieces en route.
Yes, I would certainly use uShip again.

UShip Service was worth every penny
First time shipping a piece of equipment 2100 miles across the country.
UShip takes the guesswork out of moving an item not only safely, but working with reliable brokers and trucking companies to expedite your item.
I am very pleased, the broker's bid that I accepted was highly professional, reasonably priced, and picked up the phone every time I called.
A++ Service. Keep up the good work.

great experience shipping 3 huge floor lamps and moving my Mom

My 1st uShip experience
My recently widowed grandmother sold her home in GA and we needed to ship some furniture and boxes up to my home in PA. I was discouraged to find out how much the move would cost us until I found uShip. I received many bids but decided to go with myersmoving because of their reasonable pricing and solid feedback from previous customers. We were thrilled with the work they did and so glad we use ...

Transport of sofa bed
We bought a sofa bed on ebay and needed to pick it up. We were told about uship and signed up. We received a bid very quickly at a very reasonable price and agreed it. The service provider then picked up and delivered the sofa within 12 hours of arranging a suitable time for pick up. Very impressed and would use the service again.

Large bookcase
I won a large bookcase in a web-auction on Sunday, and thanks to uship and the service received from one of their providers, I was able to have it delivered to me the next day, and it only cost me a few poinds more than if I had collected it myself. When considering the time I save myself as well - 5 hours of my life - a real bargain.

Eccellent Experience Shipping Furniture Cross-Country!
HAd to ship a room and a half of furniture that was very old and fragile, as well as a dozen or so storage tubs of "stuff". The process of finding a provider was straight forward. I think I got as good a price as possible, and everything arrived in good shape. Can't do much better than that. The move was delayed several times and took much longer overall than originally planned but the provide ...

Very hassle free moving a desk across town
I had to move a heavy desk across town and didn't have a truck. uShip was easy to use, I got a good bid in a couple of days and Eric was very friendly, punctual and affordable. I'd recommend uShip any time.

Our move
We were shipping a number of family heirlooms and other antiques. They arrived in the same condition that they left in which is not always the case, expecially with antiques.
Additionally, I had forgotten about some of the items that were in the warehouse where these items were stored so my original inventory was smaller than what I needed to ship by almost half. O'Neill was honorable and fai ...

My first shipment with uship saved over $200
I sold a swimming pool on ebay using ebay's default freightquote for the shipping. The quote was about $400 and my high bidder had problems coming up with it so we agreed to wait a month to ship it. When the month was up, the original quote was invalid and the new quote was up to $450. So I put it on uship and had 6 bids to choose from $250 and less. My final cost was $220 and the pool was deliver ...

Easy and would do it again!
My husbands' niece was giving us living room chairs she had from her grandmother. They had huge sentimental value for my husband and we were glad to take them. However, they were in SoCAL and we're currently in OH. Uship and Toni from 1Xtracare were great - the chairs arrived with out a scratch on them! I would definitel do this again, with Toni! Thanks so much!

shipment to italy from UK
Uship is a great service it allowed me to save lots of money compared to the offers i received from standard couriers.
The guy offered me a good service but the way he presented himself wasn't that great.
Very old van in a very bad shape. The van broke down in France and he lost 1 week to make it fixed and delivery arrived 1 week late.
Overall satisfaction is good anyway.
cheers

Less Hassle and Cheaper than a UHaul Truck
We were quoted $120 to rent a uhaul to move our queen bed. We would also have to return to the city we rented. Because of uShip, I didn't have to make a round trip, and I saved about $40 dollars using uShip. Thanks and keep up the great work!

Custom Furniture
I have worked with a number of blanket wrapped delivery services over the years. It is always a big part of the service I provide. I am located up in Wisconsin and my furniture goes to both coasts. My customers demand the best in furniture and shipping. This was the first time I have used U ship and the experience was very good. I worked with Brooks Delivery and was pleased with how the whole ship ...

Coin Op Horse kiddie ride.
I was very happy with the U-ship process. I bought this 60 year old collectable on E-Bay but the catch was I had to arrange shipping myself. This was an odd item and needed to be picked up quickly. I am so happy it could be dilivered right to my destination with out having to pass through a lot of docks and tranfers.. I received very good service from my transport team. I was able to handle most ...

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 ...

Got an arcade game shipped for less than I would have spent on gas!
Within a couple hours of posting my request for transportation of an arcade game here, I got a quote of $250 from Evildanes, which I thought was a mistake. I'd planned to make the trip to pick up the game myself until hearing about this site, and had figured my costs just for gas and tolls would be at least $260, not to mention I was a bit unnerved about borrowing a truck from a buddy to get from ...

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.

Good positive experience
We were relocating from Southern California to Oklahoma. Had a large load (45 foot personally owned dry van) of personal items and household goods. Lots of tools and a small garden tractor with attachments.
We ran into complications due to our new home not being ready and had to change the schedule several times. Fred was great and always was happy to make changes. We worked out his schedul ...

Superb service shipping my pressure washer
My son was shipping a pressure washer from Texas to me in North Carolina. I am so glad that I found uShip and Lacy. She did a great job in getting me from point A to point B with any question I had about the shipping box, pallet or weight, that kind of thing. I would have accepted the bid much sooner if we had been ready with the double-walled box for the John Deere pressure washer. We just wa ...

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 ...

Never thought shipping a washer/dryer could be so easy.
Needed a washer and dryer shipped from Dallas to Austin. Listed my shipment on uShip.com and started getting bids within minutes. I had originally considered going to pick it up myself in the bed of my truck ...but uShip saved me time and money! The competitive bids and ability for truckers to fill excess capacity along their route enable me to save so much money that the cost of shipping ended u ...

UShip Saved The Day
I had a need to get some family items to my sister across the Country after we divided up my mother's estate, but I had no idea how to accomplish the task. I found UShip on the internet and was amazed at how quickly bids came rolling in, how reasonable they were and how the job would be completed in a minimal amount of time and off my list of things to do.
I guess you could say UShip is a stre ...

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.

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.
