I had a very good experience with sing458 (Steve) shipping my dog. She was coming from a kennel, and it was about a 15 hour drive. She had leg surgery, and needed to not be cooped up the entire time. I wanted her to be safe, but cared for well because she had been taken good care of for a long time. I was a bit nervous about using someone I did't know, because I didn't want her just put in the back of some truck, stuck in a crate. A couple of other shippers seemed to be planning just that. There are a lot of animal shippers I found out. One (not affiliated with uship) had very bad reports online. Another, associated with uship had a lot of cancellations which made me think the person might bid on everything, but deliver only on a few. So my advice is that, 1) Don't just look at somebody's website; 2) On uship, if you see some positive comments, and a lot of cancellations, be a bit cautious. The shipper I did choose had lots of shipments, and everything was positive. I would use uship again, and would again read all the comments from people. I'd try to get sing458 first, though!
