I needed 6 appliances moved 1-1/2 miles and up a flight of stairs on a particular day. I could have been stuck calling several moving companies before I found one who was available and would take the job, and even then I would have no idea who/what I would be getting. uShip made it easy - I had several responses from those who wanted the work, along with pricing, written terms and feedback from previous clients. uShip enabled me to make an informed choice about who I hired without wasting a lot of my time.
