My 10-year old daughter and my wife looked on the web for a puppy. They found one that they fell in love with however he was 1,700 miles away and on a rural farm which was over 100 miles from an airport. Uship allowed us to find a safe, reliable and very quick method of transporting a pet. We paid $310 for shipping and our dog only had to spend a day and a half being driven in a comfy van as opposed to a scary airplane ride.
