I needed to ship a small motorcycle and was flexible on the schedule, but I wanted the motorcycle handled carefully. I called a couple of shipping companies and was quoted $450 or more - with Uship I found a great company (Mountain Transport) that shipped the bike in 2 days, in perfect condition, for $199.
The ability to see user feedback on the shipping companies GREATLY influenced my choice and I really like that feature about UShip. I would definitely use UShip again, especially for large or unusual items.
