I am looking for recommendations to ship my teener from VA to AZ where it has been is storage for the past five years for a decent price. I’ve looked online and reviews are all over the place so it is really hard to determine who is reputable. I know you get what you pay for, but I am a working on a budget to work otherwise I’d just get one of the bigger names to do it. TIA!

we have had good luck with uship.com. You can put it up for bid and then check the shippers feedback rating. Also if you know someone with an account with central dispatch, their rates are very very good

Also if you know someone with an account with central dispatch, their rates are very very good Be very very careful with U-Ship, it's the wild west of shipping. We had a guy one time who didn't want to use my carrier, he saved $100 on U-Ship. The "trucker" who showed up was some dude in a converted motor home full of someone's furniture, he unloaded the furniture, loaded the Porsche, and then re-loaded the furniture, on top of the car. Also be wary of the big website's, most are just brokers, who will hold your deposit for 6 weeks hoping to find someone to pick it up as cheap as possible. Cheapest from VA to AZ would be about $700-800 on an unknown open carrier, don't get cheap, go with one of the regular people like Intercity or Reliable, yes you will pay double but it won't get damaged, because if it gets damaged with one of the horror show carriers there is no insurance, ask me how I know. And you can't sue a PO BOX or 20 LLC's. Attached image(s) |
