I bought a used Vespa that was located in Florida, I am in California. I have never shipped a large item before - so first thing I did was Googled. Came across many links for independent shipping companies - prices were steep enough that I almost changed my mind on buying the Vespa. Then I came across UShip - I was a little hesitant a first because they were several online forms to fill out - I thought this was going to be a waste of time. Within in 5 mins of completing I started to get quotes from various shippers. And they were getting cheaper and cheaper - almost like they were trying to out bid each other. The quotes also came with detail info on the shippers - nature of business, insured, feedback from costumers, etc. So you could make an educated decision. I went with Mach 1 Expedited Transport. Their price was almost half of what I was getting from the above mentioned independent link websites and in the end they did a great job. And Uship made the shipping process a lot cheaper and easier than I ever expected it to be. Thank You UShip
