Thanks for the link Scott. Just used them to ship 5 35's from Chicago to Fargo. Cost me $142 plus $9 Uship fee.actually had a bid for $125 but the other guy picked them up the next day and I had them the day after. Literally 2 days from reading your post. Awesome. Talking to the guys I used, they haul a lot of boats from PA to Seattle. Right through my back yard.

Sure beats the $200 UPS wanted and the guy actually had to walk up the driveway about 400 yards and carry them down in the snow by hand (at 9:00 at night no less) because he couldn't get the truck/boat trailer turned around in the driveway.

Now just have to wait til the wheels get back from powder coaters and get the mounted up. Cheers!
 
Glad to hear they helped you out, they are much better than other companies I have used in the past, and I will definately be using them again in the near future.
 
Just another broker ...

U Ship is just another take on brokering transport

Although your individual experience may have been
favorable, the next guy will not get the same hauler
or shipping experience you did .....

Just google U Ship review :hhmm:

Yeah, Jim, I hear you. I've dealt with enough trucking headaches in a previous career that I know both sides can be impossible sometimes. Mostly the side you're on. :) You get somewhere to pick something up and it's nothing like the shipper said it was going to be.

If I was in the trucking business, this Uship thing would probably piss me off as I'm sure a lot of them are cutting corners everywhere they can and making it hard for legitimate truckers to make a buck.

I went through a lot of feedbacks before I committed. The guy I used "Mrroo", I talked directly to. Wasn't a lady at a desk getting bids accepted, then forwarding to a guy in the truck that has no idea what he's picking up. I just got a good "feeling" from him. Same as everything I've bought of eBay or Mud or the web.

You could "kind of" tell the ones that were out to burn you. Low bid, but then read the fine print of the bid details. "Must be on pallets", "will not do this", "this costs extra", blah, blah, blah..(Granted some of this is fine to make sure they cover their asses and don't get stuck being a packager as well as a shipper).

I was really kind of expecting something like "Mudship" before I started the process with them. Just a board for people to post what they need hauled, and a place for people going back and forth to pick up a few bucks dragging other peoples crap around.

At this point I would use them again, but probably just wait for this same guy to be making a run where I need. He's back and forth across the whole northern tundra quite regularly and he was so damn quick and willing to do what I needed, that I had to go that route this time. Got lucky, but maybe not next time with someone else.

The moral of the story: do your homework before you roll the dice. :cheers:

edit: Just so everyone knows, Jim gave me a more than fair price awhile back to ship these exact same tires, but our timing just didn't work out. I got the same good vibes from him as well FWIW.
 
uShip is old news. I've used uShip to ship cruisers coast-to-coast many times, for years.

uShip is an eBay spin-off like Paypal. Its legit, secure, and I have consistently gotten top-notch service from uShip service providers (shippers). Not to mention I have gotten by far the best rates. Plus, I like the idea of supporting the 'mom-and-pop'/small operations. They tend to be more flexible and easier to deal with.

Just my experience and .02$
