uShip

Had a motorcycle picked up in Daytona Beach Florida and shipped to Phoenix.
Expertly secured, protected and delivered on time in excellent shape.

A close friend passed in early December and she had an antique cabinet that needed to be removed from her apartment by mid-month. Original plans fell through and I had to scramble last minute calling several overly priced moving companies who would deliver in 2-3weeks! Found UShip online and although apprehensive, I created an account just to see what would happen. Within two days, I received an offer from a mover. With a 4.8 star, I decided to proceed. In three days, I received the antique cabinet without a single scratch, crack, or dent. I am so grateful to UShip (words cannot express) for making this experience much less stressful and reasonably priced for an item so personal and sentimental.

I used the system twice and got good results both times. The only reason I didn't give five stars is because their system said the average price for my most recent transaction should've been about five to $600 and I was getting quotes of 1200.
I would say if you read the reviews well, you should be OK and I think it's a fantastic system to throw a bid out there. No regrets.

Booking transport through uShip was fast, easy, efficient - so easy! I submitted my request, received multiple quotes, contacted my driver and finalized transport details, all within an hour. Thank you for a seamless process!

I found a shipper through Uship to transport a newly built strip built surfski (kayak) from Portland to San Diego. This is a piece of floating art. The shipper had great references and many happy customers after 10 years of experience. We agreed on a price and I opted to pay USHIP the EXTRA fee for insurance just in case there was damage or theft of this newly constructed boat. I know things happen in the best of circumstances so insurance seems like a good idea, right? Apparently wrong if you are dealing with USHIP. Unfortunately there was some damage and the shipper has proven to be a stand up guy and confirmed that the damage had occurred on his watch. Of course I am not happy about the damage but I did buy the insurance, filled out a Bill Of Lading upon dropping the item off at the shippers location and took before photos. So, I am covered, right? READ ON. When the surfski arrived I spotted the obvious damage, took photos, etc. The shipper has signed off acknowledging the damage on the Bill Of Lading and took full responsibility for it. The damage happened on his watch. So, no problem, right? Wrong! Danny at USHIP is probably a busy man since he repeatedly requested the same items via form letters for me to support my claim as if he hadn't taken the time to review them. The photos are clear and it is irrefutable that there was no damage at the time I handed the item over to the driver. The photos taken upon delivery show the new damage, the Bill Of Lading signed buy the trucker supports this finding. Well, much to my dismay, USHIP claims the damage was there before shipping. USHIP obviously has not reviewed the supporting evidence and sent me a form letter telling they won't pay the claim since the damage did not occur during shipping. Any reasonable person would be able to see the lack of damage shown on the before photo. This was a brand new item. So, don't waste your money on USHIP insurance. I will appeal this decision and hope that they take a closer look at this case. Let's hope it was an oversight and not a sleazy way to do business. They could take a lesson from the driver who admitted the damage, took responsibility and is willing to help me make the right.
UPDATE- I was told I could appeal their decision to not cover the damage. I went through the appeal process and was told I would have an answer within 72 hours. Well, it has been close to a month and it appears I am being ignored. I spoke to their Consumer Support line and was told I would have an answer by days end. That was a week ago. Clearly they have a policy to wear down the consumer in hopes that they won't have to pay a claim. I can honestly say I have no memory of dealing with a company with such sleazy tactics in many years. SKIP USHIP if you can. Buyer beware!

I had nothing but issues in trying to ship a motor using uship. To be fair, most of the issues were with the freight company that bid through uship, but when things went sour and the delivery and pick up were messed up, and I was charged extra on top of the original already paid quote, uship's customer service was not really interested in my complaints or making things right. It took a heated argument on the phone with a uship representative and getting hung up on to resolve the issues, that they did not want to take any responsibility for. In the end, the extra charges were refunded, but I will not be using uship ever again, nor will I be recommending them to anyone else.

UShip is a very good service, but you arent dealing with uShip per se... you are dealing with mostly unknown shippers. BE AWARE of who you are dealing with and expect very good and clear communication. Most of the time I have had problems with shippers delivering late... even months late. Since you dont have anything much but a phone number or email, they can ghost you anytime they choose. How easy is it to deny a call or just throw a phone away and start over again. Leaving you with no property. Just be sure you have communicated your expectations clearly and ask for very clear contact info, even a copy of an ID or DL. Once this person has your property, what power do you have to get them to deliver? UShip I can assure you does very little to nothing when it comes to these issues. At best they can block the shipper from doing business (in that account) in the future. So what? Anyway... best of luck,... I have used uship dozens of times and had no real issue with uShip. I do wish they could control the vetting system better, and create a stronger connection from the client to the shipper so we have legitimate ways of managing the process. Because now you just have to stay lucky. Lucky you got a good honest responsible shipper.

I engaged in Uship's service to transport my BMW from a dealership to my San Diego home. Unfortunately, the experience was subpar – lack of communication, a significant delay in delivery, and the delivery occurring in the dark. Despite paying extra for coverage, my car arrived with a cracked back window. I reached out to the BMW dealership and they said there was no broken windows on the car. The shipper refused my claim, stating it wasn't their responsibility. I've contacted the BBB and plan to involve the district attorney's office in Austin, Texas. This seems like an insurance issue, and I'm dissatisfied with the service provided.

...From Seattle, WA to Sarasota, FL. I'm impressed with the platform, the speed of the delivery, and the attention that my driver gave my bike! I'd absolutely use UShip again.

Delivered fast and with no damage, loose 1 notified the time and locacation of the shipment. Installed the unit and very happy about the end result..

I have used uShip in the past, and I am so pleased with the service and prompt delivery. So simple and easy.

Bought a large item on Amazon that I needed to return and the seller was kind enough to refer me to uShip. I did get a FedEx quote before listing my shipment on uShip. I quickly received a more competitive offer on uShip and accepted it. Never having used a shipping service outside of USPS, UPS and FedEx, I was a little intimidated by the whole bid process at first, but I had ZERO reason to be. It was straightforward, simple and saved me a ton of money.

This was the first time I used Uship. I was very happy that it was very easy to set up the account and initiate the process. I was very happy to receive a few bids, and I selected a terrific shipper who completed everything flawlessly.

Communication is everything and that's what they brought to the table because transferring something of thousands of dollars, you want to know exactly where it's at. They did awesome!

I've shipped personal cars previously and the UShip platform works well. Ultimately shipping is a per mile, logistical business. Have patience as it's not an exact science so the pickup and delivery is never exact. May be few days earlier or later than you expect. The hauler was super nice and the pickup/delivery was perfect using an open rig.

Thanks again and I'll need a return quote in 6 months!

Using the site was very easy, and I had a very reasonable quote within a couple days. Aaron was prompt, great communicator, and even helped wrap my item up before transit, and it got there safe and quickly. Would definitely use again.

I was extremely pleased with with the shipper I decided on. He was on time, and very apparent he had done this before. He was asked to place my trailer in a difficult location, but he done what was asked. I would use him again

They never set up tracking but everything else went great.The driver was a really nice guy wish he could have spoken better English it was hard to communicate with him.
