Quoted from Pintucky:I have used U-Ship several times and got excellent rates! You can negotiate with the driver once you get a bite on your bid. I had a $350 price given to me but once I started talking with the driver, he accepted $275 if I would just drive 40 miles up the road and meet him at a major intersection. I once had a U-Shipper transport a pin from Minnesota to Kentucky in a very large station wagon! Pin was delivered in perfect condition and he gave me a discount for not rushing him. I was an add-on that helped him with another arrangement in this area. He gave me a great price because he had to come this way anyhow.
I have mentioned it before in other threads, but I work at uShip and help people ship. If you want to try out uShip let me know. I can set it all up for you and make sure you get the most bids possible (best price), and more importantly help you select the right carrier that will do a good job.
