Glad I found the site

I was asking for prices from "normal" moving companies to send a wine cabinet from Atlanta to Hilton Head and I was getting quotes of $900-$1100. I used uShip and found an excellent shipper for less than $300. Everything worked out great.

Great experience shipping my furniture

I love UShip.com! If I have an item that needs to be picked up across the country or just locally - this is the place to get it done. The providers that I have chosen were excellent, courteous, professional and above all fair in their bidding. I hope UShip.com stays active for a long, long time to come. Thanks UShip.com!!! Robin

Shipped Delicate Curio Cabinets

recommended by e-bay seller, and turned out to be the best option in price, and my cabinets arrived with no damage.

Great experience shipping an antique secretary (slant front desk)

This was being shipped to a friend. It was a family heirloom that she inherited when her father died. We crated the desk. My friend had used UShip and told me to try them. I was amazed at the price - we had received 3 quotes from other shippers and they were $200+ over the cost of UShip, and that price did not take the furniture into the house - that was an additional $250.00. This is an exce ...

Shipped excercise machine

I wanted to send my elliptical machine to my mother. I posted on uShip and was amazed at the variety of bids. Jim's bid was the most reasonable. It was easy communicating with him and the whole transaction went smoothly. A very satisfying experience.

Worked out beautifully.

I was a little nervous about using a website to ship my items since I have never even used ebay (!!!). However, my shipper (Danodrive) was excellent and everything went really smoothly. I will definitely recommend my shipper to others.

Great service getting a RC AC unit shipped 1600 miles

This has got to be one of the better services I have found on the net. After looking at what it was going to cost to have something shipped with FedEX or UPS I saved a bundle. A buddy of mine in MI found me a RV AC unit for my trailer and I needed here in TX, the other guys wanted around $700.00 dollars to get it down here. With Uship.com I got it here for 130.00 dollars. The driver was very ...

First time user

Being my first time to use UShip I wasn't sure what to expect. I feel I was lucky to find someone who suited my needs. I wasn't in a hurry to get my TV shipped and I wanted it done for a very low cost. I found both. So after several bids that came in too expensive - I got a bid for exactly what I had requested. I'd say the experience was a pleasant surprise.

Wonderful Experience Shipping My Dining Room Set

Gus and Anthony Storti were amazing shippers. I am so happy to have found them through Uship and will definetly use the service again for my long distance shipping. They were reliable and honest, and professional. They charged a good price. I was very happy with my experience!

Wonderful experience!

We had some items to move from LA to San Diego. These guys were the most affordable, but so trustworthy and courteous. I will recommend them to any one I know.

Great experience shipping furniture

I won an eBay auction and needed to get furniture moved from New York to Ohio on only a couple days notice. I went to the uShip website and posted by shipment. Within a couple hours I already had bids!! The uShip provider was very professional and prompt. I had a great overall experience.

Trampoline to Texas by Terrific Transport!

Fabulous job, moveprotx! i salute you & your team, Jeff! if i have to move, i'll call! i was out of touch for the next few days due to all i had to do to get myself home, expecting to catch up with you on FRIDAY, only you'd DELIVERED super-punctually on WEDNESDAY. WOW! it was just so wonderful to be able to see and touch and unpack (a few of) the fruits of our combined labor plus that of you ...

Using uShip

Using uShip was very effective at a great price compared to the traditional moving companies. I would use them again in a minute!

Why didn't I think of this?

I had been living in Raleigh, NC while my family stayed in Texas so our oldest son could complete his Sr. year in High School. After that year, I needed to bring home a few things that accumulated while I was here. After calling moving companies and getting bids that cost thousands of dollars, I ran across U Ship. OK, I was very skeptical but my son (who is a computer whiz) talked me into trust ...

john deere 757

Eric, picked up my zero turn mower in miami on thursday and had it to me 3 days later. Excellent to work with.

Impressed with uShip

We just wanted to ship a nice piece of furniture to our daughter for as cheap as possible while maintaining quality service. uShip allowed us to do just that. We loved the fact we could receive bids, and found a shipper that did an excellent job! We will definitely use uShip in the future! Thanks!

was disappointed

First off all of our items did not fit in the truck he brought. Then he loaded the truck and left our home @ 2pm on Saturday and told us our belongings would arrive by noonish Sunday at our new home. We called at noon on Sunday he stated he was running behind (and we were also so would work out great) and would arrive at our new house between 4-5pm Sunday. We had family waiting for him in case we ...

Great shipping experience with large and small

I had a tractor shipped and a piece for the tractor from 2 different shippers. On did it for extra income and the other was delivering to pay his way across the U.S. Both were good experiences. I like not to have to rely on brokers to get a load shipped.

uShip is an excellent choice

From a trailer bought on Ebay across the country to a dresser that needed to come across the state. We'vew always relied on uShip to bring us someone that we would never find otherwisae. In all my experiences the peoplke have been top notch as well as I have never been able to make the trip to move the item myself without spending twice as much to do the same job. I don't have the time and ther mo ...

Fridge move from Houston to Corpus Christi

Setting this move up was easy to do once we got used to working the website. The service vendors should be listed alphabetically as a way to easily search their database. The manner of setting up the request and bids, plus asking questions was simple and convenient. We will definitely use your site again. The service provider we found was excellent - VANSAR. They were great to work with from s ...

UShip Experience was G-R-E-A-T!

I had planned on driving my car 2600 miles round trip, which would have meant two hotel stays, excess miles on my car, and who knows how much spent on gasoline and expenses. My neighbor told me about UShip and I decided to check it out. I had heard horror stories about "private shippers" who end up absconding with the person's household goods, but with all of the feedback and ratings of shippers, ...

Randy (and his son) did an excellent job.

Randy was very professional. He contacted us when he said he would, arrived on time for the scheduled pickup, and handled our items with care. When he arrived at the delivery destination, he was accommodating and once again professional and helpful when unloading the large item(s) I had shipped. I would use his services again!! Thanks, Randy.

Perfect solution for shipping an antique cabinet

I had found a Maple Corner cabinet that matches my grandmother's set listed on Craig's list in New Hampshire. I had no idea how I would get the purchase to my home in Rochester, NY as my vehicle is small, I didn't have help, and the owner's shipping costs were very high. Uship provided an excellent opportunity for me to check shipper's feedback and select someone I had confidence in, at a reason ...

Pedicab takes a 1200+ Mile Trip Safe and Sound

An eBay auction featured a unique Lightfoot Pedicab that was very interesting to me. But it was 9'long, 4' wide and over 6' tall fully assembled. So how could I get it from Montana to Southern California? Uship to the rescue. Other options were not economical but uShip provided the perfect forum for connecting with alternative carriers. One shipper, Enchantd, bid on the shipment, tying pick ...

Awesome shipping my bird cage

Was needing a 5ft long 4 ft wide 50 lb bird cage in a box shipped from AR to TX. He bid and after working out the details we booked. He picked it up on a Wednesday evening and Delivered in TX next day. We are very pleased. Very friendly, polite guy. Easy to work with as well. Any other shipments I need made I would go through him again. Will be highly recommending him to others. People on ...

moving our van seats.thank you

We moved out of state and had to leave our van seats back in Ill. No one was willing to take them to Fla. So we hired U ship. good experiance.

Timing was critical and they sure came through!

My son is moving to Texas and we needed his furniture moved out of his condo to a cousin's house in Miami area as close to his departure date as possible. Price was a definite concern. Knowing that a small shipment like ours would have to be combined with other shipments to make the trip cost effective for a mover, we knew we were going to have to be flexible on our timing but were very concerned ...

Table and chairs, antique

My son wanted the furniture but I was fearful of the cost of shipping through regular channels. I was delighted that I was able to find someone willing to take the antiques very reasonably and who provided very careful packing.

Saved a lot

When I contacted the local shipper for my round pen (recommended by the seller) they wanted $1100 to ship it, UShip cost under $500. Great Savings!

Highly recommended

I was shipping 3 household items to my daughter who is moving into an unfurnished apartment. Regular movers were much too expensive considering the value of the items. uShip gave me a way to get my daughter her furniture at a cost that was less than what it would have taken to replace the items. I believe all of us involved--my daughter, the service provider, and I--benefited from the arrangement. ...

PIANO MOVING

I very much wanted to send a piano to my two grandaughters who live near Boston. Everything I had looked into was much too expensive. The piano had belonged to my mother who passed away recently, so the idea of these beautiful kids, ages 8 and 6, getting their great grandmother's piano was much on my heart. In an earlier part of this review I expressed how great the service of The Movers ...

Great Service-Would Use Again

I was shopping a giant kingsize headboard that I found on craigslist in Delaware (I live near DC). The driver contacted the seller, picked up and delivered without me dong a thing except helping unload. He informed me of the condition of headboard, kept me informed of his whereabouts and route on his way back and carefully wrapped and unwrapped the object for me. And it was incredibly reason in pr ...

dining room chairs

Like finding money in the street, I was able to stumble upon a set of 8 very high end dining room table chairs. I needed to have them shipped but didn't want to pay the high end price. I casted a quote and within 10 min. received not only a successful bid, but a carrier with over 175 positive feedback rating. The chairs came within 2 business days, carefully wrapped and placed within their truc ...

Great experience using my classmates' creation

Kudos Matt, Jay, and Mickey from a fellow Longhorn! Jodi and I just used uShip to transport a dining room set from Atlanta to our home in NJ (we "won" it because Jodi was the first of my in-laws' kids to get married) and couldn't be happier with how it worked out. Bevo would be proud. Overall, we saved about $4,200 from the estimate from a direct mover vs. uShip. Hook 'Em!

Awesome first time experience!

It took me a little bit of time to find the right bidder but I am glad I was not in a hurry. This shipper made every effort to box up and haul my items to California. My items were left in storage on short notice when I moved from TN to CA. I will keep uShip in mind for every large item I find for sale on eBay. Thanks!

Grandfather's Pool Table

My uncle in Denver had a pool table that I used to play on with my grandfather. Since his kids are now older, I asked my uncle if I could have the table to share with my kids. He was very happy to pass it on to me; the only problem was how to move it from Denver to New Jersey. I called one of the major mailing services and got an astronomical quote, but then the representative told me about ushi ...

Mother's items

I live in FL and my mother lived in MI. She had passed away and I packed up a few boxes of things that I wanted along with a marble table, mirror and jewelry armoir. Friends said not to worry that they would get me her things as someone is always going to FL. Two years later they were still boxed and ready to go when a friend of mine suggested uShip. My sister in MI helped with the loading and ...

Great Experience Shipping Dining Chairs

This was my first time using Uship. I had called around to other shipping companies and got astronomical rates to ship my chairs for me that i had purchased out of state on craigslist.com. One of the companies told me about Uship, and although having my doubts about the service, i took a chance and tried it. I got so many rates to pick from and the rate I ended up getting was a small fraction of w ...

First time shipping with uShip to transport a TV!

I came across uShip while I was searching on Google for a form of cheap LCD TV shipping. It was one of the sponsored links, I remember, and I clicked it, looked at the home page, and gave it a try. To tell you the truth, I wasn't expecting it to turn out this great. So I listed my item, and waited overnight. Then Mike asked a question about my listing, if he could pick it up that Sunday and drop i ...

Quilt chest

Uship was so easy to use. I build hand made custom furniture for people all over the country. It's always hard to find a shipper who will take proper care of my products. I listed on uship and had a carrier at the price I needed within the day. It was much easier than calling around to see who went where and for how much.

Texas to North Carolina

I had planed to move 12,000lbs of house hold goods myself but I found UShip and I was able to hire a company to move my goods for a few hundred dollars more than it would have cost me to rent the trucks and buy gas.

shipping 2 pieces of my grandmother's furniture

hi, i was nearing the end of my rope, having a small shipment of items (very small, 2 pieces of furniture) and receiving either very expensive quotes or more reasonable quotes that needed a lot of prep and a drop off. My Mom was in the middle of a huge move and couldn't do the prep or drop off, so so, what to do. it all worked out as i received a bid on this site, they picked up and dropped off my ...

My Concrete Foutain made it here!!!!!

Well, what started out as a simple ebay purchase, took much longer than expected to arrive; none of which was the fault of the shipper! I bid on a concrete fountain, that said "free shipping"(on ebay), but because the seller was brand new to ebay (his 1st listing), he made a mistake-and did not want to include free shipping. So, it was up to me to find a way to get a 600 lb. 3 tier (solid concrete ...

Ease and convenience at a good price

This is our first time using uShip. We had a bunch of diverse items to ship, including fragile china, framed pictures, books, tools, furniture, mattress and a massage chair. These were all personal goods retrieved from our parents' basement, and we didn't have a big budget. Once everything was packed and measured, the uShip listing process was easy. Compared to a couple of moving company quote ...

Moving 2 mattresses

Retailer wanted to charge me a lot more for delivery than the shippers on uship. uship has allowed me to buy and sell larger items over the internet. Great system, to have shippers bidding against each other.

Great professional shipping experience

I needed to ship a (heavy) desk from Illinois to PA and Ed is the man that could deliver on this. Punctual, great communication and reasonably priced. Recommeded!!1

I *LOVE* uShip!

Talk about Heaven on Earth. With U-ship I was able to arrange to have my small household with some unusual items (700cc motorcycle, porch swing, firepit, WOODPILE!) shipped 1800 miles from Minneapolis, MN to Portland, OR within just a few days, for $650-$1000 less than any of my other non-uShip options. (And the next cheapest option was doing it myself -- including gas & 3 motel nights & an awful, ...

Simple & excellent shipping on my giant carrot!

I saw a unique 6 ft. carrot dresser (yes, a giant fiberglass and wood carrot) on Ebay at an amazing price...the only problem was that the dresser was in NY & I live in TX and the seller stated quite clearly that this auction was for local pickup only...no shipping. I was willing to travel to NY myself, but knew there had to be another way. After "googling" shipping furniture quote, I discovere ...

Great Experience shipping my bed and stuff

Originally only shipping my queen bed for my somewhat short notice move. Declined the company that I actually used. They inquired why I had declined and what I considered paying for the service. I replied with my thoughts and added that I also had two other items that I might want shipped, if maybe he would bundle them. He said he could and gave me a great rate for them. My experience with them a ...

Great shipping experience for my furniture

I was referred to Uship by the custom furniture maker in California. I was amazed at how nice that worked. Put my request in, and had a bid from lapackpros in about an hour. Hesitated a little to see if I wanted to rent a truck and power drive with my brother, but after calculating fuel costs, it just didn't make sense. Shortly after I accepted the bid, I believe the truck was on the r ...
