I bought a bobcat that was located on the south side of Edmonton. I don't own a truck or trailer so I was asking around to friends and family for a favor when someone suggested uship. After posting online I was expecting around $500 being what it was worth to drive through Edmonton and 2 hours North on icy roads and -20 outside. With a bid request of $300 I accepted and made my first phone call. Dylan was all the way in BC on another shipment which was perfect because I hadn't paid for the bobcat yet anyways. After I paid for the bobcat on Friday I called to let him know he could pick it up and he said he would have to get it on Saturday. I went home and went to a Christmas party on Friday night where I ended up staying the night and when I woke up the next morning Dylan had called and was sitting in my town wanting directions to my house. I was shocked, so I gave him directions to my place and told him we would probably be there at around the same time. By the time I got home he was sitting in my driveway with the bobcat unloaded and idling ready to use. This kind of prompt, friendly service made it completely hassle free for me and the seller. They arranged pick up and delivery while I was out drinking and partying. I hadn't even thought about it until I got the call it was here. I will definitely use uship again and recommend it to my friends and family.
