I had to ship a disassembled hospital bed half-way across the country. The cost would have been prohibitive using a "standard" freight carrier (and forget UPS or FEDEx Ground). I was flexible on time, but the shippers were prompt and punctual, just as if I had scheduled it with the "regulars". This is my second time with UShip, got another transaction in the works, and will use UShip from here on out... with confidence.
