My husband bought a Coke machine on eBay in Atlanta, but we live in Pennsylvania. I contacted a few private shipping companies, but the estimates were astronomical. We found out about uShip through google, and within 5 days we had a number of very reasonable bids. UShip is great because you list the services you need, like packing and delivering. We used ubercommuter, and Howard was great! He even helped to navigate our basement stairs, to the ultimate home of the Coke machine. Now my husband is happy, I am happy because we saved oodles of money, and his Christmas gift is in the basement!
