I had a 7 1/2 week old puppy shipped from CA to OR. I looked very carefully for someone to bring me my sweet new baby, And found a nice man and his wife who lived near me and happened to be going down to CA to get something already and offered to pick her up for me. He had to get her on his was down to L.A. so he ended up having her for three days instead of just one. But Him and his wife took great care of her, We spoke everyday with updates. They even ended up stopping at the beach on their way and got me some great pictures of my puppy playing on the beach. I love Uship and will be using it again if I ever need something shipped.
