    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.
    U-ship is a good alternative for pick-ups in remote areas, where STI/NAVL/Beltmann does not regularly service or where its pricing is prohibitive.
    Bob Cunningham is a great choice for midwest to east coast to Florida geography deliveries. Fast Eddie is another reliable and economical option.
    STI has been quoting me $425 to $550+ for west coast to east coast deliveries for at least a dozen years. When agent, Michelle Bianchi, was with NAVL in the 1990s, the same coast-to-coast deliveries cost me about $300, including extra insurance. I much prefer shipping games with the legs on when it's being done by a nonpinhead to avert pallet damage.

    Try watching Shipping Wars on AETV. It can be hilarious at times watching the yahoos on there trying to pick up and deliver stuff.
