Terriffic shipping experience

My artwork was picked up punctually and delivered to its destination from NY to FL on time and with a minimum effort on my part. The price was fair and reasonable and Dan was most pleasant and accomodating. I would not hesitate to recommend D & K services to my friends and use him again. ALLEN P.S. uShip made the connection to the shipper possible and it was a pleasant experience--thanks to t ...

Great experience

I had a variety of art, antiques and rug but a small shipment with more sentimental value than market value. We packed it and a speciality shipper who normally takes motorcycles took it across the country in a nice, small truck. I was a little concerned that my specialty items didn't match the shippers expertise but it worked out great. We paid half of what a shipping company had quoted us bef ...

I'm spreading the news...

been telling all my family and friends about uship.com...what a great concept!

paintings

Paintings went to 3 different galleries. U ship was very helpful, I wanted to make direct contact with the firm that would handle my work. I saved $800 or so using U ship. I will use them again.

shipping artwork

I am an artist with a studio in New York City. When I have to ship artwork to a client or for a show, it can be very tricky finding a safe and reasonable way to ship the work. I am in a show in Charlottesville, VA and needed to ship 10 oil paintings there. Another artist friend said they had used a soft-pack/trucking method and it had worked. I had no idea where to find a good trucking source ...

My artwork made it without a scratch

I needed four large mural paintings shipped from Pennsylvania to Colorado. USHIP came to my rescue and I found a great match who got my paintings safely to Colorado in two days!!! I was able to save a lot of money using an independent trucking company instead of a commercial freight company. It saved me loads of money. Most importantly, my fragile artwork, made it to its destination unharmed. ...

Giant Sailfish Migration

This was my first UShip experience, and it was great. I won an old Sailfish mount on EBay, without noticing the Seller was not willing to handle shipping. The Seller was concerned about damage, and made the item a "pick-up only" auction. I won the item for a fraction of what I expected to pay-- which was the first sign I had missed the shipping issue. Since I wasn't about to drive 1500 m ...

Great dealing with AAA+++++

I SHIPPED A CRATE OF ARTWORK 40 X 70. PICK UP WAS PROMPT AND DELIVERY WAS EVEN MORE PROMPT. THE OWNER WAS GREAT TO DEAL WITH. I WOULD GLADLY DEAL WITH THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN. AAAAAAAAAAAAA++++++++

A great experience shipping my giant Bronze Deer.

I live in Spokane, Washington, and I purchased a larger-than-life bronze deer statue from a private party in Florida for a good price, but had a terrible time trying to line up a shipper to get it here. Most shipping/trucking companies did not want to deal with it because it was not crated or on a pallet, and the ones that were interested wanted a fortune. I found Uship online, listed my deer wi ...

Great experience shipping a large painting

EZ Movers did a great service for a reasonable price. It costed almost 1/2 of what I would have spent if I would have gone with UPS. They picked up my shipment less than 1 week after I posted. I would definitely use UShip again and I highly recommend EZ Movers.

UShip is a great service

My mother passed away in July, and I needed to have some of her things and quite of bit of my father's art work (he was an artist who passed away over 25 years ago) shipped to me from Chicago to Atlanta. The items didn't have much monetary value, but they meant the world to me. I have to admit, I was extremely anxious about having a stranger 'roaming around the country' with my parents memories. ...

Shipping delicate item

Excellent communication, care and handling of shipment. Came when they said they would with a box specifically made for my shipment, packed with care. Everything arrived safe. Everything handled courteously and professionally. Would definitely recommend.

opens new opportunities

I am a painter in Los Angeles and thanks to Uship I am able to show my work all over the country. My paintings arrive safely, soundly and affordably!

Great art shipping

Shipped a crated and very fragile glass art piece from Atlanta to Texas. Arrived for pick up as agreed and delivered ahead of schedule. Kept us informed of his progress until the package was delivered. Nice guy and very professional. Will certainly use this service again.

great shipper shipping my painting

He got hit by a semi truck and still made my delivery! Great person and great work.

Great experience shipping fine art

I was having a solo exhibit of paintings in Sarasota, Florida. 31 pieces all together in twelve containers. It took me a very long time to find the right shipper, but I was able to find a perfect match with uShip. My shipper came early to pick everything up. My shipment was the only thing in his cargo van, which gave me a strong sense of security. Packing the van went efficiently. The trip t ...

Art hits the road and survives......

I was shipping a set of paintings and prints I had lost in a divorce to my ex who was now moving to China and could not keep them anymore. (There is a God.) She wanted to get them out of her house which was up for sale ASAP. I was afraid it would prove too expensive to ship due to size and fragile nature of the pieces, but UShip came through with a provider who was affordable and in the area of ...

Telephone pole delivered....

Well, I use a little literary license in the title. The actual item I have been waiting to be moved the short 300 miles from Ft. Worth to Lubbock, is actually a painting of a telephone pole. A painting just large enough not to fit in any standard car or SUV and painted with thick acrylic paint that cant be rolled or removed from the frame without damage. Each trip I took to Ft Worth I would c ...

Trustworthy and successful transportation of painting

I was shipping a 6' x 6' painting I created.  Obviously, I was apprehensive and meticulous about who I selected.  Based on positive feedback, I chose Lowell and Cary, aka "lakerats."  The price was unbeatable and they helped load it onto the truck and move it into my apartment.  I would definitely recommend using them. 

great experience shipping my paintings

I had 18 oil paintings that needed to arrive to the gallery safely where the time frame was crucial. NwDelivery wrapped the work with 3 layers of protective material and accomplished the task
