I was organizing the shipping of an old Willys Jeepster for a friend who has bought it through craigslist. She fell in love with this car while in Texas, and asked me to help her get it home to Los Angeles. I looked into standard shipping companies but the cost started rising rapidly to get it here. The previous owner recommended uship, and I tried a bid, not knowing what to expect. What I found was a community of people that used the best of what the web is good for- linking individuals with needs to those with solutions. I met Frank and after accepting his bid, I spoke with him on the phone to finalize the deal. He was personable, friendly, and took great care to make everything smooth from pickup to dropoff, and he kept me updated with his progress as he went west. He even delivered ahead of schedule by a half a day. The car arrived safely and I would recommend using Frank to anyone needing a car, boat, or trailer shipped in the US. I would use uship again, now that I know how the site works. It paid to take the time to research feedback of all the bids I got-- it is true that the cheapest price isn't always the best deal in the end. I was very happy with the experience.
