We had a couch to ship from South Florida to NYC, and our buyer said shipping would be about 1200 USD, and as soon as she finds a cheaper provider, around 250 USD, she will buy the couch. I thought I could help this, and found uShip.com, where the price was a little higher than that but still much-much-much lower:) And we got professional service, punctuality, a polite, friendly and helpful shipper, high-quality shipping.
Soon we will have two cribs to sell, and we will want to use uShip again:)
