getting the job done

Bidding was the easy part, and I had good response. My shipper was confirmed and ready and scheduled for agreeable pick up. Then his truck/transmission cratered. Not once but twice in rapid succession. Still, he managed to pick up in a reasonable timeframe, and brought my large mower home to Texas. I appreciate his dedication, and I'm enjoying my mower. Poor guy, I hope his transmission is f ...

Faster turn around time than I expected.

When you list your load, be sure of your payment method! Because you can have transportation ready to load before your seller has his payment!

Great experience shipping our mowers

We needed two new large lawn mowers from Ohio and the growing season was getting into full swing. We needed them on short notice and posted the shipment on Uship. Within a few days we had several bids, and a few that were quite reasonable. The shipper we went with bid almost $300 less than we were expecting to spend, and the service was great. We had some delays with our pick up site, and some iss ...

Scag zero turn Mower

What started out as a bad experience ended up great.. I was weary of using uship after my first accepted bidder broke down and i was waiting on y mower for a week. I was able to re list and my nest guy was very reliable and used great communication. will definitely use again.

Tractor Delivery

I've had two experiences using uShip, one with horses from Oregon to New York and a tractor from Texas to same location. The first one was a fair experience but the second one was fantastic. I will use uShip again in the future.

The grader got here safely

I'm a retired guy who bought a motor grader sight unseen located all the way in Nebraska. How to get it to Oregon? Heard about uShip through the grapevine. I accepted the first bid in my price range and never could find the guy. I got worried that I had reached a site that was a scam but then uShip answered my frantic email immediately and processed a cancellation efficiently. The second ship ...

My Dad's tractor takes a cross-country road trip

When my parents sold their farm in Montana, I hated to see Dad's 1953 Ford 50th Anniversary edition tractor leave the family. That tractor taught me how to drive a clutch, and gave me an appreciation for power steering, because it didn't have it. (Still doesn't, yet I appreciate the upper body work-out.) I asked Dad if I could buy the tractor. He replied in his Montana drawl, "Wehhlll, tell you ...

Great experience shipping tractor tires

I shipped four large tractor tires mounted on rims from North Carolina to Missouri. The Ubid experience was excellent. The web site was easy to use and self explanatory. Got a reasonable bid within a couple of days. All went well.

WHY I USED USHIP.COM

I HAD TWO PIECES IN FL THAT NEEDED SHIPPED TO PA. IT USUALY TAKES ME TWO WEEKS TO FIND A TRUCK. AND IT COST ABOUT $600-$800 A PIECE. I LISTED THIS ON USHIP AND I HAD FOUR BIDS IN LESS THAN FOUR HOURS. AND THE BEST PRICE WAS WAY CHEAPER THAN I WOULD HAVE NORMALY PAID. I WILL USE UISHIP.COM AGAIN

Great Customer Focus!

Bob transported an unusual item, loader for garden tractor, from Michigan to St. Paul, TX. Business the way it should be - picked up the item on time, provided progres updates along the way and was kind enough to give me a wakeup call. Excellent - Nice to see! - Scott

Uship found them when I couldn't!

I shopped around for a trucking company to pick up and deliver two 40' shipping containers and all of the companies were very expensive and they usually didn't have the right equipment. Uship allowed me to hire a company with the necessary equipment, good reviews, and a reasonable rate.

E-mail to complete listing shipment

I am not the most technologically oriented person but listing the shipment was a little involved. That was not too bad but when it came to completing the listing I was instructed that an e-mail would be sent in a few minutes. If it didn't arrive in a few minutes then I should click on link and I could complete my listing from the on-line page. I waited for about an hour for the e-mail and it di ...

1200 lbs of steel skidloader tracks

Item was pickup up on schedule and was delivered on schedule without any snags and also was very well communicated via telephone, what a great experience with oldgloryfreight.

Shipping farm equipment

Needed to ship large tractor and disk harrow from middle florida to middle georgia. Received many competive bids. Before accepting a bid, I had to revise my shipment to include 2000 lbs. spreader. New bids came in and accepted bid on a sunday - requested shipper to arrange for shipment on following thursday. Shipper communicated excellently and aranged for pick up and delivery as promise based ...

great experience shipping our farm equipment

We were happy to find this site. It looks like there are a lot of honest people who are available. We were happy to find someone who would load and unload and tie down the equipment. Many only want to drive and not load or unload. We were happly with the price. Great opportunity for all. Thanks.

Wow, you find me a better system to Ship stuff !! bet you can't !

This is our first time shipping and you can imagine how scared stiff we were when we heard the horror stories from the handlers at those other "Corp. Shippers". One guy suggested we box it up like if it were going thru a blast zone. We said... lets try uShip services, they are reasonally priced and maybe they have a way to rate the shipper and sure enough they do. The shipper response was immediat ...

Great experience shipping Motor Grader

We purchased a Motor Grader from a seller in Ohio(over 1500 miles away)and needed it shipped to us in Wyoming. We tried Uship for the 1st time and within 2 hours had a bid offer. After completing our bid we made contact with the carrier and set up a pickup time and within 2 days had our 1970 T-500 Galion Motor Grader delivered to our house. The communication was great the whole time of loading ...

Great shipping on 14,000 lb boom lift

I worked for 3 weeks trying to get 3 quotes on transportation from OH to northern ND. Very difficult to put together as back hauling was slow. I listed my frieght on uship and within 24 hours I had 9 quotes. U-Ship is very well thought out, user friendly and had good information on the shippers. It was a slam dunk and it beat the best rate we had by 35%.

Flow Hood from LA

A large unit from LA to San Jose, 1100 pounds. Delivered as promised, with a problem solving driver. Great service and courtesy, speed, communication.

Outstanding shipping of mower

Ordered mower from Ohio to be shipped to Florida. Placed a bid for shipping, first time user to u-ship. Not sure what to expect, but the experience was good. I was given several bids to transport my mower, but was greatly impressed with the information and price given to transport my mower, $300.00 cheaper than compatition. Questions were answered in a timely manner. Picking the transporter - ...

New way to ship

Forget about scheduled carriers. They transfer your goods from truck to warehouse, warehouse to truck and one carrier to another. Every time they transfer, they break things. Their forklift operators specialize in mishandling crates. And you pay for all this heavily. Why take a chance ? Use independent, private Truckers. Let them bid the lowest possible price on UShip. They have personal i ...

shipping by eric brendle

very pleasant and smooth experience. eric is first class and highly recommended by me. great communication and promptness and professional in every way.

Boiler arrived on time and in great shape!

Was told that we had to have permits for over wide load and was billed that way. Boiler arrived and parts had been removed so that it was not over wide. I did not have a problem with removing the parts but the shipping price never changed.

Great people shipping a generator

I receive a competitive bid from Southeast Transport. I researched the company rating on Uship and found that they have a 100% positive rating. The shipper was punctual, courteous, and careful with the item shiped for me. I would definitely use them again.

New to uship.com

We are new to uship.com and had our first booking less than 24 hours after signing up. A good price and timely hauling should help us expand what we can offer to our customers at a competitive price. Looking forward to a good deal on our next shipment. Thanks!

International McCormick Grain Drill move

TSMOVEIT2 does an excellent job as shipper. I highly recommend his services. Professional, easy to communicate with and on-time. Absolutely hassle-free and easy. Tom's a great shipper and makes USHIP. Thanks for the help Tom.

Pallet with tires and wheels 350 lbs

I purchased some tractor parts from EBay from a gentleman from Illinois, thinking I would take a weekend trip up to pick the items up. After putting my item out for shipping bid to U-ship, I easily saw they could bring it to me cheaper and more timely than if I had driven there to pick it up. The best thing about it was I didn't have to spend my time to go get it. It's hard to beat a man at his ow ...

Auction winnings

I bought a heavy piece of construction equipment. It was in Tennessee; I was in Texas. I thought I would have to drive up there to bring it back, but for less than the cost of gas one way, Old Glory Freight brought me my item. This is the way to go!

Going to College experience

Our shipping experience was a great learning one. We had 14 pieces of sissor lifts and manlifts to ship that we had bought at the Richie Brothers auction in Florda. Everything was going good we accepted Johns bid and man this looks easy, they even said they could get it on 2 truck loads. Good that will save us some money. Every thing was going smooth till the truck drivers got to the sale site and ...

Great experience recieving my shippment

I would use this service again. It was effective and reasonable to get what I wanted. That is the only thing I care about when I am recieving any service.

Convenience

It's a convenient way to find trucking. My only hope is that more people geet invlived so that there is more feedback on bidders. It is a good way to get a basic judgement on their business.

Hauler had 3 engine break downs.

Hauler had 3 engine related breakdowns on this trip. but everything got here without damage and or missing items. I would consider useing them again but would make sure one had extra time to receive your goods. uship works great and the price is as quoted. Thanks for a job well done. Tim L. Ser. Mgr.

Time and Money

I have a Peterbilt and a drop deck, but didn't have the time to get it myself when I bought a 30' 7000# John Deere planter that was 575 miles away. This was my first contract thru UShip and I was very pleased how easy it was to complete, like asking a neighbor to help when you can't do everything yourself. After posting my information at 10 PM, I had six bids by eight the next morning. Jason from ...

Ritchie Brother's Auction nightmare

Your haulers made it happen when the prospects were dim at best. The collection of the items was arranged in accordance with Ritchie Brother's instructions. Upon our trucker's arrival on Friday, he was informed that he would have to spend the next 3 days waiting for his cargo to be loaded. We could not get any movement from Ritchie Brother's to expedite and we were looking at having to come bac ...

My cross-country shipment of a difficult load.

I recently sold my 4000 lb. compressor to an over-seas buyer and nearly had the sale fall apart because all shipping quotes were coming in at double, triple, and even quardruple what the customer was budgeting for. We needed to get the machine from New England, all the way down to the Port of Miami. I told the customer I heard about a company called Uship, and I volunteered to list the ship ...

First time experience a very pleasant one.

I purchased a piece of John Deere Farm machinery in Iowa and did not have access to have it shipped to my place in Ohio. I found Uship.com and accepted a bid from from the service provider who exceeded my expectations in delivering. Thanks to Uship.com I saved alot of money compared to traditional shipping vendors. Would use Uship.com again.
