My wife and I were very skeptical about this website. Not that it wasn't safe, just that we didn't think anyone would ever be going to Germany, near where we are, around the time that we needed. We looked at several different options to ship our dog over to Germany, and most of the services were asking anywhere from $1,000-$3,000. This site enabled us to save alot of money and still get great, reliable service while not making it stressful! I would most defenitly use uShip again....and again...and again.
