I found a steal on ebay, problem was the item was heavy, delicate and (originally) expensive. The seller recommended a company she had used in the past and figured I was looking at around $1000 - $1500 to ship the item. I took a look at uship and figured I would rather have companies bid on my shipment instead. What a novel concept! I found a company who was willing to do it for $400 and I cannot explain how happy I was with their service. My item arrived as if it had just been beamed over, not picked up and put on a truck and delivered. If you can use ebay, you can use uship, it's that easy, and the only way I plan to do my future shipping.
