I was looking to have a car shipped to me and their rates were significantly higher than competitors. A lot of brokers will cause huge price increases. Do not use this site. Prices should be immensely competitive not super high.
I wanted to see how much a *potential* move would cost, so I used uShip to receive some quotes. Big mistake. It's been more than a week and my phone has been ringing almost every day since then with multiple callers trying to get my business, many calling repeatedly. Then there are the emails. Lots and lots and lots of emails. Do yourself a favor: if you want a shipping quote, contact a few companies directly. UShip seems like a good idea but the unwanted inundation from dozens of responses is ridiculous. If uShip wanted to provide a valuable service, they'd show you all the price quotes online on their site, like some auto insurance companies do to help you shop. What they do now is essentially trick you into supplying your contact info to be hounded for weeks afterward by third parties. Stay away!
Please be patient. I waited 3 days to get the best deal. It was half the price of all the other offers. My shipper was awesome fully insured and even gave me pointers on how to ride my new motorcycle. I'm a novice, he informed me of the websites habits of doing system updates often and during peak times for bookings. Wonderful service. Thank you Jeremy!
Prepaid transport of trailer from Florida to Massachusetts, included all expenses.
Hampton decided to blow thru toll booths in 2 states. So far, over $200. In tolls + fines.
I tried to give a new company a chance...
Stay away. Has not responded to texts, calls. No help from UShip.
I have used this company several times from different states and they were a fraction of what these interstate movers charge, and the men are always very pleasant and professional and careful with my possessions
It took a while to get started with the process, but when i got fouled up a helpful phone assistant helped. The shipper delivered terrific service throughout the process. My small sailboat came on time and in excellent condition. I would use uShip again, anytime. You just have to evaluate the people who respond to your request.
Hi Dan,
Thank you for taking the time to give us a review! We value your business and look forward to working with you again in the near future.
Motorcycle was picked almost immediately and then I was hostage to the carrier who doesn't bother to answer email or text messages. He answers calls, but only to give promise of delivery date which is not kept. This happens day after day. Two weeks later I am still trying to get my motorcycle.

I was very impressed with the entire experience. They first, make it easy for you to place your ad/shipment needs on their website. You just simply complete the standard form they have online. From there, the long list of established and credible shippers are notified of your needs. You will automatically start receiving quotes from those that can provide service. It is similar to an auction, but in reverse. As you receive their quotes, the price normally lowers as each transporter lowers their quote to gain your business.
In our experience, the price started at $3600, however by the end of the five day bidding process, we accepted the lowest bid at a price of $2495.
The transporter was very professional. He would contact me at the end of each day and let me know his progress. There is nothing more that I could ask for!
I certainly will be posting on UShip the next time I have a need of a transporter!most of two
We were very satisfied and grateful we chose Ray to transport our trailer 2500 miles. It arrived on schedule. Communication was great, Ray is so pleasant and considerate. We'd definitely rely on Ray again and recommend him to friends. Such a pleasure meeting you.
Hi William and Sherri,
We're incredibly grateful for your review! Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we're delighted to know that you had a great experience with uShip. Thank you for your support, and we look forward to working with you again soon!
I have mixed emotions about this site because of a bad experience. I only used them twice and had a couple bad experiences both times. First time the shipper was days late in delivering my table. The other issue was shipper damaged my shipment on a cross country delivery. Both issues were taken care of but it just seems like the shippers could have been a little more professional. I might use them again in the future if I don't find a better service as they are like the ebay of shipping.
UShip provides independent drivers to bud on jobs. I started w/driver below 3 rating, and his reply included what as a customer was an inappropriate response to my price/info of what was to be delivered. Then received a bud within my price range by a driver with a 5 rating and he deserves all of them. Tim was the utmost professional from start to finish. Thank you again, Tim for making my experience shipping personal furniture items such a positive experience. This driver is a true professional at his craft!
Hi Patty,
Thank you for the review! We're so glad to hear you had a great experience with the carrier you matched with on uShip. We look forward to working with you again in the future.
Excellent experience having an antique late 1800's item shipped. It was done professionally and arrived safe and sound as expected. It was difficult finding someone that would ship this item 1200 miles, but Uship.com came through with reputable shipper.
Thank you for your feedback! We're happy to know that you had a great experience with uShip. We look forward to working with you again in the future.
This was the best delivery service I've ever used. They communicated with me throughout the whole process. My furniture was delivered in perfect condition. From Arizona all the way to Chicago! They are professional and experienced. I will only use them in any future deliveries that I have. I highly recommend!
Deal directly with a well known shipper. Uship will pass along extra charges after delivery to make up for under quoting freight. They Added $100 for delivering to a large business because it did not have business hours posted on the website and a house was located on the property. REALLY?
I got an estimate to ship my boat to Hawaii, based my cost on that. Now I'm ready to ship they won't even respond. Of course everyone else is $5400. That's $3000 I don't have, so the whole deal is shot! Thanks uship, you guys are a joke! Don't even know the difference between land and sea transport!
From start to finish this was an amazing experience. We have never done this before and were SO incredibly fortunate to find UShip and our driver Dana Anderson, who made this experience stress free. I am very impressed with not only his service, but the ease of use of the app.
Joseph contacted me within 10 mins of accepting his offer by text. We scheduled a pick up time, and estimated the delivery time for the next day.
He was in constant contact.
The family at the pickup address said he was friendly, and took great care in wrapping the antique cradle.
Once he arrived at my home, he and his helper carried it inside and unwrapped it. Great experience!
I wouldn't hesitate to use him again if I find an item in his shipping area!

Absolutely awful shipping service. I am a carrier who experienced multiple communication issues with this company. I addressed them to fix the trash they provide and they did nothing but suspend and then remove my account. They abuse customers and carriers both with absurd fees. It's a disgrace to the freight industry. I get charged 5% to work with a commercial dispatcher and uShip abuses companies and customers and takes nearly 50%. Their customer support is awful and the amount of inactive postings is absurd. It's a wonder how people make money off utilizing them as a loadboard. Absolute trash.
uShip.com touts low shipping rates but this is all a scam. The carriers and uShip.com bait and switch after you book your shipment and it is delivered, they hit you with HUGE fees claiming that additional charges are necessary due to extra services. Extra services? They CHARGED $150 saying a lift gate was needed at pickup ($75) and delivery ($75) which is completely false. On top of that, they claim zero liability when the shipment is 10+ days past delivery. This company is strictly in it to scam users. STAY AWAY. It might look like a sweet shipping deal you are getting but trust me, you will get billed up the rear after the delivery.
Horrible service.
Both vehicles damaged
The insurance has no adjusters to look at the damage
Now it's my problem to obtain three quotes
I live in a rule area
What a massive waste of my time and effort
