Quoted from ZNET:U-ship is simply a listing of multiple, unrelated delivery outfits which will quote you a price for your specific delivery, based on the data you enter. You have to evaluate the shipper based on reviews. U-ship is the listing service, not the moving company.
I hired a U-ship carrier whose price was good; however, his familiarity with moving a pinball machine was nonexistent. As a result, he moved a 4 player EM with the head attached and caused some cabinet damage.
Uship is that company they use on the TV show "Shipping Wars". Staged bids or not, you know how little experience some of those guys and gals have with shipping things. They bid, they win, they do their best best attempt at getting it there in one piece or not. They figure you'll just ask for money off for the damage. Nope, not using them. . . . . What ever happened to Roy's cat when Roy past away?
