I was shipping a cat from Florida to Maryland to give her to my sister for a late Christmas gift. Using uShip, I spent less than $150 total for overnight shipping up the east coast! My service provider, shofar, bought cat food for the trip, and made it up north by the afternoon following pickup despite the terrible weather. I would use uShip again the next time I need anything shipped, and will definitely recommend the site to my friends, coworkers, and family.
