About uShip

It helps transport high-freight and difficult-to-transport goods, such as cars, furniture, pianos, boats, heavy assemblies, etc. Freight service providers bid to win transportation opportunities and make full use of excess space.

• uShip is an internet platform for shipping and freight, with localized sites in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Netherlands, Austria, EU, Central and South America. It operates in 19 countries. Users can price search, book and ship anything they want to move locally or globally. From cars to cranes, freight to furniture, etc.

Serve

Since its inception, uShip has been committed to reshaping the freight industry. uShip is not just a freight service aggregation website. Through the price comparison service provided by uShip, consumers will be able to book services at more favorable prices; in addition, the company also allows users to price the goods they want to ship by themselves. If the transportation company thinks that the price meets expectations, the transaction between the two parties will be reached immediately.

For transport companies, uShip only requires these partners to pay a certain transaction fee. However, uShip will still provide free data to freight forwarders through its own feedback system and customer reviews to help them further establish and build their online reputation.

In addition, uShip has launched a specialized platform for corporate users, "uShip Pro", which allows carriers and freight intermediaries to build their own transportation networks and automate the management of their transportation operations. However, not all freight companies are eligible to use the uShip Pro service, because the company said that this professional service is currently only available to the US truck freight market with an annual output value of US$300 billion. Under the influence of the mobile trend, uShip said that the company is planning to launch mobile applications and platforms.

Partners

In 2009, uShip formed a partnership with Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers, the world's largest heavy equipment auctioneer, to provide real-time estimates and quotes for the shipping of industrial equipment and vehicles sold at auction.

In 2011, eBay Motors began offering uShip's shipping price estimator as a vehicle shipping option for all of its U.S. car, motorcycle, and power sports listings.
