Long story....short:
Needed two ATV's shipped and delivered from Florida to Louisiana (719 miles) by 9/17 at 10:00 p.m.
At 11:30 P.M. on 9/16 I desperately listed my Ad on uShip fully prepared to have to make the trip the next morning myself because my other shipper backed out just two hours before because he couldn't meet the deadline.
I went to sleep realizing there was no way to get a Shipper booked before I had to leave to meet the deadline. Within 50 minutes my iPhone chimmed with a Bid. It was Joe Cooke out of Daytona and he was interested in securing the Shipment. After two emails, a phone call and little negotiating we agreed to do business at 12:45 a.m.
Joe said he preferred to get his two daughter's ready and off to school but would leave Daytona for the three hour drive to me right afterwards and he picked up my Shipment at 8:30 a.m.
They were delivered to Louisiana by 9:00 p.m. on 9/17 (less than 24 hours later and within my deadline) without incident. Today they are at an ATV park being ridden by their new Owners and their children at a family vacation function,Joe is off on a different haul and I have been paid for my eBay Auction.
Some would say I got lucky...I simply say no, "my ATV's got u'Ship...ped!"
