1. Never used or even heard of UShip before this transaction. So I was cautiously optimistic. 2. I always research things extensively before I act. I did that here and decided to take the plunge on this type of business transaction. 3. the posting of my shipment request, the method I had to use to fill out the required information was very very easy and intuitive. Kudos to USHIP and your user interface here on the web site, easy to use and very complete. 4. I posted my add and started receiving quotes and questions within 30 minutes. Kewl! 5. In about two days I had my decision and closed the bid and accepted the shippers quote. 6. Wally contacted me, coordinated everything with me and the shipper in Montana to the last detail. Excellent. 7. Picked up when stated, contacted me when he was enroute to my house, and contacted me when he was about 6 hours out confirming delivery and that everything was actually ahead of schedule. 8. Arrived at my house, when he said, had the cargo unloaded and he helped me slide it into the garage. Bottom line, everything EXCEEDED my expectations, from this website to the delivery and professional service from first contact to delivery from Wally. No question that this is where I will come when I need something shipped in the future. Happy Shipper!!
