We recently moved to a new house in Tampa Florida and some of our old furniture did not fit or was not going to work out in our new space. One piece in particular was a oak desk that had been hand crafted by my brother. My new house had a built in desk and the piece was really too large to put into a bedroom, yet I couldn't bear to part with it. I also couldn't bear to sell it since it truely belonged in the family. While exporing on the internet, I came across the UShip website and decided to ask my other family members if they had any interest in the desk. My sister in Washington, DC said she would love to have it so even though I was scared to death, I put it out to bid as well as a bedroom set that I also wanted to give to her. I got several bids. Some did not work out timing wise. One did not work out because of loading/unloading issues. But one worked out perfectly. For a very reasonable fee, I was able to ship my treasures safely to their new home. It was very easy and secure. I would use UShip again in an instant. -Sue (Tampa, FL)
