I found a great 1959 Motobecane moped to restore for my wife. The only problem was that it was local pickup in Iowa and I live in Washington state. I won the bid, but then was faced with the reality of shipping. I had several plans in the works involving relatives doing cross country trips before the end of the year, but I sensed that in the Internet age there had to be a better way. After two days of Googling I came across UShip. I only wanted to spend $150.00 to get the thing home, so I bid that amount. The first few bids were 4 to 6 times that amount. Then voila! A bid for $175 and the Motobecane was on its way. It now sits in my garage awaiting the restoration. I'll send before and after pics. This would not be happening without UShip! Thank you so much!
