I purchased a 1956 Pontiac transmission from a Pontiac salvage yard in another state. My '56 Star Chief is starting to slip, and cast iron hydramatics are hard to come by anymore. The only catch was that it was pick up only. The business owner suggested uShip. Registration was easy, and I posted the shipment. Right away, I received interest in the shipment. The winning bid was exactly where I wanted it to be. It was my first posting and his first shipment. All during the process we corresponded first by email, and then by phone. He was very courteous and accomodating. He did a great job making arrangements for the pick up. He went out of his way to meet the needs of both the sender and receiver. Everything went just right, and I will do it again! uShip is a great idea. The whole process is simple, quick, and straight forward. I like the clearing house model of linking people with needs and service providers at a price that suits both parties. It's a win-win proposition.
