How to ship stuff from Texas

I was a little worried about how to ship our equipment to the partner to Florida, but mostly how to load it to the truck without damaging it, within a very tight space. Gentlemen, if you have no ability to load anything on your property to a flat bed, you have to call 1deerhunter. This guy will bring all his friends to your place and even at night they will load your things carefully, and your ...

GREAT SHIPPING EXPERIENCE WILL USE AGAIN

Great experience shipping machines & equipment.

I sold an item on eBay. I listed it with uShip & shipped it out within one week. Reached it's destination without incident. Great job! Thanks

Great shipper, butstarted off not so good.

I contracted with a shipper who ultimately couldn't ship to us within our time frame. Because it was my first use of your service, I did not know how to cancel out the bid so I could go with another bidder, who actually could get the item to me sooner than I needed it, I ended up losing both of my backup bidders and lost more than a weeks time by the time I figured it out. Aside from that, I had ...

A unique situation

We had a unique shipping problem, and we found a guy through UShip who was a perfect match for what we needed done. I'm glad I found UShip, and I'm glad I found the service provider I needed through them.

lift boom

I was shipping a lift boom. I did not want to drive my equipment to get it. It was a learning experience with uship site since it was my first shipment. I save a lot, considering what the seller wanted for shipment. I knew that none of trucking company would charge the price he had ask. The driver of the trucking company "JEFF" was very professional, helpful in any way possible. The uship s ...

uShip ripped me off!!!

What should have been a savings turned into a costly transport when uShip's "Service Charge" of TWENTY ONE PERCENT turned it into an unreasonable costly shipment. uShip doesn't reveal the amount of the Service Charge (or even if it is going to be charged) until you have gone through the pre-bid communications, the actual bid and bid acceptance. On the LAST PAGE of the final checkout this fee i ...

Westbound saw!

I am a recently opened welding and fabrication company with little cash flow for the capital expenditures I am needing to make in order to grow the business. I had found an excellent vertical band saw in New Jersey for my business, which is located in Phoenix, AZ but was reluctant to purchase the saw due to the shipping cost I was quoted by the seller of the saw and those carrier's I contacted di ...

Transporting Vermeer Stump Grinder

Posted my newly purchased Vermeer stump grinder on UShip - had a bid in no time. Shipper picked up the unit within an hour of award & delivered in 2 days - great job.

shipping cbr motor

I tried several shipping companies before finding uship, the people on here bid for the lowest rate and had the best customer service I've had the experience of running into(when you google search ltl freight shipping, most of the companies are jerks and don't want to deal with the little guys. I'll definitely use this service again, ASF Transport Services Turning your freight around !!! 215. ...

Problem free shipping!

The owner of my company purchased a salvaged electric scissor lift in Texas. After initial shock of price quoting many shipping companies, UShip.com was a fantastic relief. The bid I accepted was a very nice experience as far as delivery and in dealing directly with my shipper, yet having the comfort of knowing the site was there as an in between. Thank you for being there! I will use Uship.com in ...

Great!

I am amazed how easy it was! Shipping a 500KW 20,000 lbs machine from Michigan to Texas seemed like a daunting task to accomplish via Uship. But thanks to Uship it was nice and easy. Amazing!!

A great pleasure

I was shipping a riding mower. I was shipping my item because it was too far away at the time for me to go personally. Uship was a pleasure to use. It was easy, fast, simple and accurate. I saved a great deal of money using Uship. My service provider was stellar in their performance. The efficiency in which Uship operated really impressed me. I would definitely use Uship again and I would refer i ...

Why didn't I think of this Business?????

It makes things so much easier with UShip. Moved several pieces of equipment. Had lots of bids. And chose a competitively priced, reliable hauler. Life is good.

2 Crates 13000 pounds each

Only 3 days between we arrange the shipment to deliver the cargo from Birmingham to Miami. Goods arrived in perfect condition. Do not be afraid to contract them Atlantic Forwarding Service

SUPERIOR EXPERIENCE

I was very apprehensive using U-SHIP. Not knowing the shipper or having references is scary. I was under the gun on a deadline to have the shipment moved. My biggest concern was whether they were going to show at all and how late! My shipment was large and odd size items. There were 23 pallets of store fixtures including 4 tier tables, chairs, benches, 96" shelving, and display racks. Most of the ...

Reeve Irrigation Pump

I posted my shipment needs on uShip in July for a irrigation pump I purchased through an online auction. The property owner where the pump was located was not very cooperative in allowing access on a timely basis. I received a bid for my pick-up/shipment from RocknK. The company was the best to work with...very accommodating to pick-up date and reliable on meeting drop-off date. If it wasn't for ...

Great experience shipping a backhoe attachment

I was thinking about going and picking up this attachment myself but I decided to advertise on uShip first. Within a few hours I had several offers and was very impressed with the price. I chose a provider and he had it in my driveway the next day. After factoring in my time and the price of gas, there is no way that I could have done this myself any cheaper or any smoother. Thanks for providing a ...

Wonderful, 7-Bids in 3 days, Wow

I am sold on U-ship will use this service in the future. Raymond with newerafreight was quit fun. I was aware of shipment all of the way and there communication with me was right on. The Excavator was loaded, secure, and protected wonderfully. The driver was helpful and polite. Thank you again U-ship and Newerafreight.

skidsteer

great experience shipping my skidsteer, great comunication at all times. puntuality could'n be better. A++ all the way.

Great pickup and delivery

Shipper noticed some parts missing and questioned seller who promptly located them and they made the truck. If they hadn't noticed we wouldn't have beeen able to use the equiptment until parts were shipped. When the driver lost a connecting load that threw them off schedule they tranferred our load to another driver so we could get our equiptment sooner. Greatly appreciated by us as we needed this ...

Engine Blocks

Bought two engine blocks in Bloomington IN (I'm in Charlotte NC) and needed them shipped to a machine shop in Greenville OH. uShip was a win-win for everyone.

The way to ship economically...

Being a small company it is not easy to obtain direct service from the known transport companies... they need to visit you and interrogate you (size of business, traffic) to see the possibilities in opening an account. Finding uShip has been great for us... We do not have to use local intermediary businesses to contract transportation, which lowers significantly the freight cost... and the tool ...

Great experience shipping my strapping machine

This company help us to resolve problems not theirs, awesome service, great communication, i will use many times. Thankyou very much.

POWER ONE SHIPMENT

NICK HAD THE TRUCK TO MY PICKUP SPOT WITHIN 45 MINS. AND HE ONLY HAD ABOUT 1 HOUR FINAL NOTIFICATION OF SHIPMENT READY FOR PICKUP, I WAS IMPRESSED! THERE WAS A SMALL PROBLEM WITH BILL OF LADING AND WHO WOULD BE PAYING FOR A SHORT PERIOD ( ABOUT 1.5 HRS. ) BUT AGAIN NICK WAS ON IT AND TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM. VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE!

Great Experience

USHIP made it so easy to find someone to ship our equipment. We received a response the same day we posted the request, pricing was right and everything shipped as scheduled. We will definately use USHIP again in the future.

Excellent service delivering my coffee vending machine!

I purchased a Coffee vending machine from an auction company in Conn. I could have driven myself but hate going thru NY area with a truck. I was setback when the auction company had a sewer line break in the ceiling above their office and a lot of paper work was in dissaray. My seller finally made reconnection with me when he got setteled back in(He had been on a short vacation-what a mess to come ...

Good experience.

Story is that I did save using Uship. Yet, there are exchanges in quality of service and the required effort, for sure. However, I use major shipping companies every day, and it is certianly easier to use them. It is work to stick with the U-ship program. It requires a good deal of management. Just so you know. --Tom C.

First time shipping equipment and it was a breeze!

This is the first time I have had to ship a large piece of equipment. I found USHIP online along with a number of other online shipping services. I signed up for several. Frankly none of them were as proffessional or competitive. The cost of shipping was cut by 1/3. I was still getting responses days later after USHIP had me taken care of. I found the USHIP experience to be thorough, efficient and ...

Great experience shipping slab stone.

We had slabs of soapstone to get from Oakland, CA to Denver, CO. After booking shipment, Heide asked if it could be loaded the same day!! It turned out to load the next day, but excellent fast service. Driver was very careful.

Easy to ship table

I am not an expert on shipping. Kinda the opposite. I had a large 5ft x 6ft table (guestimate) not a dining room table, A Computer controlled steel cutting plasma table. I thought this was going to be a nightmare. Turned out it was very easy to complete. I am really impressed how this all turned out.

great experience shipping my scissor lift

I bought a scissor lift and tried to find a shipper and wow the prices were horrible. Someone on ebay recommended u-ship and I submitted a price i thought was fair for the both of us and wow in a few hours. I had a shipper and all went well after that. Thanks Larry

Happy with shipping experience

We bought a silkscreen drying rack on ebay. It was purchased from a company in Wisconsin and needed to be delivered to Montana. Initially we had a hard time connecting with transportation services in Wisconsin. We were only able to find one company in the area and they were not shipping anything to this area (Montana) for a couple weeks, or longer. I came across USHIP.COM while looking around for ...

MOVING YELLOW IRON

I had purchased a cat excavator 800 miles from where it needed to be. Then i started trying to get shipping quotes by calling around. what a nightmare they were all coming in higher than i had bugeted in for this project. After finding u ship and listing my excavator.The cost to ship ended up being a few dollars more than half of lowest bid i had received on my phone quest. Give it a try saving th ...

shipping a car and extra eng/trans.

never had to coordinate a shipment B4.Did I blow it! cant ship any goods w/car.had 2 get separate shippings at last moment.panic city!!! using u-ship saved my ass,big time...both shipments arrived on time and as expected. U DID GOOD-THANKS... p.s. I didn't know that each shipping dock handles only it's own cargo-so I screwed up the shipping destination. even so it worked out just fine...

uShip was able to meet my needs

uShip was able to broker a load at a very reasonable price using moving professionals. I would highly recommend anyone using this service for the first time.

High Tech Item / Down-Home Friendly Delivery!

I was searching eBay in hopes of finding some good buys on laboratory equipment. I couldn't believe my luck when I landed a lightly used Millipore water system at a fraction of it's original cost. Then I realized...oh-oh...how am I going to get it from a lab in Knoxville, TN to the northeast US? I tried a couple of traditional shippers, but they either didn't provide the service I need, or they we ...

Great job by all.

The trucking company performed exactly as I requested and was polite and helpful. Ian, in customer service at UShip, was utterly helpful and wonderfully polite. The overall experience has won my business. I will always use UShip. Big thanks to all.

Tractor Tire Shipment

I only had occassion to use uShip once before a couple of years ago. I was tracking an eBay listing and shipping cost from TX to PA was a major factor in my decision to purchase 2 large tractor tires. I posted a request for bids on uShip contingent on purchase of the tires and immediately got an offer; however, it was too high to justify the eBay purchase. I got a 2nd offer from FreightCenter and ...

Great experience!

I like doing business on the internet and uShip has created a economical solution for the small guy that has the trust equation built in.

Diesel engine

It was a bit difficult trying to get all of my questions answered via email by people I didn't know but once I accepted the bid and could speak to the transportation expert all was great. I would do it again.***BFL
