Needed to get my boat to California from the mid west. A shipping company my boat mfg recommended wanted $3000. I got it done right thru uship for $1200. Smokin deal!!!!!!!!

I've dealt with other shipping companies (not uShip) who have extraordinary requirements, high prices, and are lacking in the personal touch. With uShip, you can Check the insurance, Read the feedbacks, and Get great quotes from several shippers who are ready when you are. It's The perfect method.

Although I appreciate Uship's service and plan to use them again users should be aware that Uship charges a fee once you've booked a shipment. It's "free to list" but not to actually accept a shipper. How much you pay is not clear to me either. I guess it's based on a percentage?

Seaclusion, our 36 foot sailboat, has been through its last hurricane. She was moored in Slidell, Louisiana and it was just too far from home, 2800 miles, and too breezy. So, we contacted uShip and with the great feedback system and the super easy process of booking a truck, we were able to choose a good uShipper and get Seaclusion back to the Pacific Northwest, safe and sound. Thank you.

I neded a quote to move a boat from Michigan. I went to Uship after doing a net search. I received some very competitive quotes from Uship. The one I used, Lockview, I would recommend to anyone.

I had been waiting for two months to get my boat on the east coast from California. I just happened to stumble onto UShip. So I figured that I had nothing to loose. I posted my requirements and within 10 minutes I started getting bids. This was a very positive experience for me and I would recommend UShip to anyone who needs something moved. The next time I need somethig moved I will definite ...

The MG was bought from dealer, we got the good bid form provider dstringer, which is located close to loading place and know the matter very good. The boat is delivered to port for export to Europe and we need the good Provider who will care the boat and the documents. We paid good money for good service and will come back again.

I had hoped to move my boat, (purchased in May)sometime in June or July. Mechancial problems, scheduling problems, and a summer full of foul waether seemed to push my move out, and I was forced to keep moving my requiested move date. During the months I waited for everything to come togther, I was traveling monthly to and from China, so there was little I could do to speed the process. uShip conti ...

I found the sailboat that I like by internet, it was near Chicago and I was in Miami, so I Came to Uship site and I open an acount an ask for bids for the transport between those citys.And I recibe a lot of them, I have say than I will be contracting the first tan accept my price for the job. So I do with him traying to know the experiences of the persons who used his service before. He has a rec ...

I posted my boat on Uship about a week before i ended up buying it. Then I found a transport company recommended by a marina that I thought was going to haul my boat. The price the other company quoted seemed reasonable and fair. When it came down to the day I purchased the other boat the outside shipping company never contacted me back. I realized after being slapped with a $20 a day fee wher ...

They took my boat and all related equipment from the Orlando area to Pensacola Beach. They were very flexible when the final location changed and they made sure it arrived safe and sound.

I bought a sailboat in Oregon, and needed to ship it to Utah. The major boat carriers were quoting prices in the $1,500 range. I used uShip’s shipping price estimator to find comparable shipments, including two boats that were very similar to mine and that had been shipped similar distances in the same part of the country. I included a photo and detailed description of my boat, set a fair askin ...

I moved my 35' CT from Oahu to San Diego as part of a military transfer. I received great service and assistance from Keehi Marine Center, Load A Boat, and Knight and Carver Boatyard. Thanks to all.

Really the best way to get things shipped, the bids are real and the posted feedback is accurate. I think this is a great way to get competetive bids and reliable info.

I purchased an old sailboat and trailer and was looking at towing the boat 500 miles. However, the trailer was worse for wear and probably wouldn't make the trip. What to do? That's when I discovered UShip. My service provider loaded the trailer and the boat on his flatbed and drove it the 500 miles for me. Not only did I save time and gas money he saved me from probable disaster!

An early morning awakening, several weeks ago, found me staring at my computer screen pondering the bidding of a 41' Morgan Out Island sailboat listed on Ebay. She was a beautiful sight and with only six hours to go I jumped in my car and headed three hours south to Stuart, Fl.. She was a sight to see. A lonely, neglected old girl stuck amongst the weeds in the back corner of a showplace of proud ...

uShip did a great job matching me up with a shipper. I received many bids and found one who was a good one. I do have a bone of contention to pick, however. It was probably my fault for not reading the several hundred lines of fine print in the user agreement. I understood from the website that uShip was free, so naturally I thought "free". Sounded like to me that the shippers paid any fees fo ...

Needed a sailboat picked up and delivered within a time schedule. Found uShip on the internet. Received a number of bids. Eventual provider gave excellent service: timely pickup and delivery while keeping me informed along the way. Would highly recommend uShip and would use again.

I was very impressed with the result. My 30' boat was delivered as promised and did not have any scratches or issues to speak of. The price point of the move was well under the prices quoted of other companies I spoke with to move my boat. All in all the experience with U-Ship and the service provider Phil A Smith Development were very positive and I would gladly do this again.

For that shippment, I was quoted $5000 and $4500 by local truckers (out of uship). I knew they were just trying to steal me, especially that one of them was already bringing another boat in the opposite direction and would come back empty (so why not haul my boat for a few more thousand bucks). Uship got me a price of $3000. In the end, after much negotiation, one local trucker quoted me that same ...

it was great to see services providers competing for the job, see their reviews, etc... It made transporting my boat so much easier and affordable!

I am so happy to have my boat in terra ferma and I thank you for this service. My boat had a catastrophic shaft failure and needed to be out before a possibility of sinking. You were there, the transporter was excellent and I am so pleased of the 2 services JC

We found the perfect sailboat but it was on a lake about 100 miles from us. We had names of a couple of local boat haulers. They were hard to reach - had to leave multiple messages. In the meantime, I found the uShip website and posted my boat. I got 2 bids within a day. Both bids were half what the local haulers quoted me. I chose haul4all -they were great to work with. Good communication - ...

Although there were problems co-ordinating delivery times and schedules, I thought that the shipper worked hard to make this successful. I would be glad to use them again.

I purchased a 1991 Catalina 30 sailboat in Westbrook CT earlier this summer. When I realized that the end of the summer was fast approaching (I am a college student) I knew I wouldn't have time to sail the boat home. That's when I logged onto uShip and requested a quote from Certified Sales. Within a few days, I was all set and the boat was scheduled to be trucked from Westbrook to Hingham, Mass. ...

Took me a long time to find a boat I wanted and Matt picked it up quickly and packed as well as possible. No damage and I was happy.

Buying a sailboat sight unseen 2100 miles away can be an unnerving experience. Hiring a transportation company to deliver this only adds to the stress. The Uship method of finding someone to deliver your new purchase really helps to relieve some of this stress. Feedback from others who previously used the service provider is invaluable in helping to make a decision. To be able to compare provid ...

Val, was great to work with! Very timely pick-up and delivery. Excellent communication as the delivery progressed- very accessible. Watched-out for transport hazards, like removing the boat cover when it would not stay fastened properly. Professional service that I would definitely use again.

Had to replace tires on trailer but they did so and delivered the boat Mon am....Since I am not there to receive it I am assuming it is in ok shape....though a friend has taken pictures that do not match the seller's pictures.

Was looking for a specific model in a 2000 mile radius and over 3 comparables Joanne & Henri from DRP Enterprises tilted the economics to incline towards a Texas - Miami run. Ran 3 separate Uhip "Request for Quotes", one from Montreal to Miami, another from Maryland to Miami and the winning Texas to Miami. Though the 3 comparable boats geaographies allowed to negotiate each against towards a c ...

I just bought a boat sight unseen off Craigslist. Mind you, I never saw the boat, but needed it hauled cross country to my home. UShip connected me a shipper that provided excellent service. From working with the seller to get the boat, to packaging it up for safe travel...this is an excellent service and an excellent network. I will use UShip again.

I wanted to ship my boat instead of cruising and then turning around anc comming back the same way. That way I oculd spend more time in the locations. A good alternative and I found somebody that could do it cheep enough.

I wanted to ship a used sailboat 1400 miles but only after I inspected it and made a decision to purchase. uShip gave me an option to ship the boat over a long distance which I would not be able to do on my own. They also saved me money over what it would have cost me to do it my self. By my calculation I saved about $600. The shipping company worked with me with the understanding that the pro ...

I'm not going to write a long piece. U-Ship is a wonderful service providing an valuable economic asset to the US. Thanks! JOHN

I needed to move a 14’ carbon fiber racing sailboat from Minneapolis to Long Island. The Uship ad generated a number of responses that fit my requirements. In the end I chose the one I thought was most experienced in shipping sailboats. I chose Nauti Buoy Marine from Port Clinton, Ohio. They delivered the boat on time in spite of the seller not having registration for the trailer or it having work ...

Was very unsure about having someone I'd never met take a sailboat 1400 miles. The boat was picked up on time, and contact along its way was excellent. When a bearing blew on the trailer, it was caught before it became a real problem, and fixed by Henri and Joanne. These folks were friendly, did exactly what they said, and actually brought the boat in a day earlier than planned. I'd certainly ...

I shipped a 1963 Alden Challenger 38' sailboat from Chicago to Texas due to relocation. The U ship experience was great. I was satisfied with the price and the service provider was wonderful in every aspect. I would most definately use Uship again. Thanks!!!

We purchased a 13' Escape Rumba daysailer with 21' collapsible mast on a trailer from an individual in Vermont. We live in Florida. As it turned out the seller did not inform us that the trailer was old and held together with piano wire. There was no way it would hold the little sailboat the distance it needed to go. Brian phoned us to let us know what was happening; he took the trailer w/boat ...

I am new to sailing and to uShip. I bought a used Catalina 22 on EBay. The boat was located at a marina on Long Island. Inasmuch as it was on a trailer, I thought about hauling it myself to the local marina her in the Washington, D.C. area. After meeting with the owner to complete the transaction, I decided I just wasn't experienced enought to tow the boat out of the NYC area. I googled boat ...

I had to find a new shipper after my first shipper ceased business. Quite honestly I was considering other options besides a uShip shipper, but I'm happy that I did not. Not only did I get a good reliable contact this time around, but I saved some $$$, something that is difficult to with the esculating fuel prices. Thank you uShip for the service you provide for all us "little guyes" out here!

Wade transported a newly purchased 25 ft sailboat on a trailer from Denver to KC. He made the arrangements with the storage site and previous owner for pickup and worked his schedule to meet my own. He kept me up to date on the status of the transport. The boat and trailer arrived in excellent condition. Wade's professionalism was obvious. Highly recommended.

Great Experience!

My experience using the site was positive because the results were very positive. However. I found the site very confusing and awkward to use.

We had our dream boat shipped from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to our home in Oregon. Photos were taken as the boat was lifted out of the water and loaded onto the trailer. We talked to Stephen (our boat transporter) almost daily as the boat journey through storms and high winds over the Continental divide to us. We met Stephen in Portland about 100 miles from our home and drove the last miles with h ...

After retiring my wife and I bought our new boat, a 47' sailboat, and moved aboard. Our boat is our home and means everything to us. After a Bahamas cruise we decided to move the boat from Florida to the west coast and deliberated extensively over who would do that job. I am very pleased to say that Thomas Duncan was absolutely the right decision. He took great care to ensure the boat was loaded a ...

I sold my house in Southeast Idaho and had plans to move to the Panhandle. Unfortunately I had a sailboat parked in my yard and needed to get it up north almost 500 miles away. My brother told me about UShip and how it worked. I tried it and soon got an affordable bid from Big Sky Transport. They showed up last night and hitched up the sailboat. By noon today it was parked in my daughter's dr ...

My wife and I purchased a sailboat in NY city and we had no way of getting it home. I found U-Ship and received a quote to move the boat back to Rochester NY. The mover made contact with myself and the seller. He gave me a date to pick up and deliver the boat. He completed the move for us on time and worry free. Great job!! Thanks again.

Lucious arrived in Kemah, Tx to find the trailer not roadworthy, as had been promised by my seller. Rather than just departing the scene, he notified me and I was able to pressure the seller into completing the work needed to make the trailer ready. Lucious was kind enough to help with some of the work and to wait to accept the load. We spoke several times during transport and worked out a seamles ...

I was very happy with U-ship. Who would think people would bid on my shipping job! I think I got a very good price for the service, especially in light of today's gas prices. The service provider, Phil Smith, was wonderful. thank you. Yes, I'd use U-ship again in a minute!

We here at WindFlow Sports found UShip in our search for a better way to ship. We were happy to find a company that is leveraging the power of the Internet to redefine how shipping works. We are the US distributor for the Peter Lynn KiteCat and are asked to ship these very unique boats all over the country. Having had multiple atrocious experiences shipping KiteCats through commonly known ship ...
