My father-in-law recently passed away, and my mother-in-law was shipping some of their belongings to others in the family. She was very frustrated trying to ship a grandfather clock from San Diego to Oregon because local shippers were quoting her over $1,000 to do this! She asked me to help find a way to do this more cost effectively, so in my search of shipping options I ran across u-ship. I figured, "why not"?
Within 2 hours of submitting our shipping job we had 4 bids, all with highly rated shippers and all a fraction of the $1,000+ she had been quoted before. We accepted the offer of a well respected shipper (stickman) who promptly called me and made arrangements for the work. They arrived on time the next day, packed the item carefully, and had it unpacked with "white glove service" in Oregon in a few days. It was EXACTLY what we needed, and at about 20% of the local quotes we were getting! My mother-in-law was so happy that her son was able to get this family clock that tears welled up in her eyes, plus it makes me feel great that I could help. Uship made this all possible.
