From reading hundreds of reviews online about the uShip website I was quite guarded about what to expect. Even when I started getting bids I had a sinking feeling that the quotes I was getting were too good to be true. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is an excellent website and I have no idea why there aren't thousands more like it for other products (airfares, buses, holidays, ANYTHING!)
I think the $40 service fee charged by uShip was incredibly reasonable considering they would have saved me aproximately $500+ (quotes I recieved from atleast 10 other companies externally).
OVERALL - EXCELLENT.
Will be using this website again.
