Reviews and Complaints

We went on Uship Delivery Service website that state that they deliver dogs. My husband and I went to pay the money at western union and, they said they bring the dog to our door step. Then when it came down to getting the dog they started asking for more money.

I wanted to buy English Bulldog for my girlfriend and surfing on the internet I found out a woman who was selling a puppy for free. She told I have to pay money for shipping to Uship Pets Flight. I paid them twice and they are still asking me for more money.

Purchased dog from a guy I found on craigslist and he told that dog is already on its way via Ushippets Courier Worldwide. I waited for a week but nothing has arrived and once I contacted this shipping company they told me that no such order is registered with them.

We would like to have any consumer that has been frauded by uship or it's bidders call and request to talk to the producer's of the show "shipping wars", a&e corp. Office phone number is [protected] let them know you would like to talk to david mckillop or elaine frontain, neil a. Cohen and tell these producer's about all the fraud on uship and that about 85% od there directory for auto hauler are company's with out operating authority (Mc number) and no insurance to haul ideams for hirer, below is the time this show will air on a&e
10-episode half-hour series follows teams of independent shippers bidding for the chance to transport the unshippable
Premieres tuesday, january 10 at 9pm and 9:30pm et/pt
A&e presents the new original real-life series "shipping wars," which follows six independent shippers who have discovered that fortunes could be made transporting items that traditional carriers won't touch. The 10-episode half-hour series begins with back-to-back episodes tuesday, january 10 at 9pm and 9:30pm et/pt.

Each episode of "shipping wars" dives into the cutthroat world of these heavy-duty movers as they battle for the chance to transport the unshippable. The competition begins with uship, the world’s largest online auction house for independent truckers. Every day, thousands of shipments are put up for auction. The battle is fierce as the movers have only minutes to bid, and the lowest bidder gets the load.
A&e need's to know about uship and there lies.

Thank you

We like to share our complaint about USHIP.com, this is not a transport company, they are directory where your ideams are bided on by trucking company's, Most of the trucking company's on USHIP have no business license to transport anything and they still are able to because of USHIP.com website this website does not check or keep up with the company's on there site as far as if they are legal trucking company's and Trotter Auto Transport guarante's that, About 85% of the bider's are not legal trucking company's, Thats right 85% of these company's are operating illegally, No commercial insurance no operating authority (mc number) .
Uship's ads state up to 80% saving on auto transport, this is the biggest lie and scam I have ever seen. Uship charge's 20-22% on top on the bid's you receive be e-mail this is how they make there money, So if a vehicle shiped from Florida to so. california cost about $1000.00 dollars and this is not counting the 22% that uship will add to that price, how would you save 80% on auto transport because that mean's the vehicle would ship for $200 dollars and that would never happen, there is not a trucking company in the U.S. that would be able to make that happen.
All consumer please take the time for your safety to look at these trucking company's, There company name will be on the bid you receive by e-mail from USHIP all you have to do is type in WWW. plus there business name and do not forget the .COM at the end, If the trucking company is legal they will have a website and on there website will be there MC number and you should be able to click on that number to check and see if it's a legal company. If you go to our website www.trotterautotransport.com you will see our MC number on the home page or just call us we will give you a free quote and look up any auto transport company for you and let you no if they are a legal company. Are office number is [protected] . Thank you and be safe.

We at trotter auto transport would like you to e-mail us if you have had problems with carriers (Trucking company's) on uship and the name of the company. We are working with the feredral motor carrier safety administration on a complaint that we will be filing against uship for not verifying there carrier's insurance, bond's or mc numbers, all trucking company must have all of those thing to be transport freight in the u. S., it's the law and uship does not check any of the company's that bid on your loads or ideams. Uship does have a mc number verification option for the carrier's to do if they what but it is not mandatory for these company's on uship to do it. I have filled out uship's profile form on there website and have started a company under my 15 year old sons name and a old mc number that is no longer active and the account when thur and if I wanted to I could start bidding on loads right now. This is very unsafe website not knowing if the company you accepted is licensed, insured, bonded or even has operating authority (Mc number). If a truck is hauling your vehicle or ideams that you put on uship and they do not have the following; commercial insurance or bonded or a mc number these truck's have to go thur the scale's that all of us see on the highways, and if they do not have those thing to prove they are a legal trucking company the state police (Highway patrol) can and will inpounded that truck and all of what he is hauling and it could take several days even weeks for you to get your vehicle back or ideams that where on that truck.

Thank you

I first must be fair and give the terms and conditions first paragrph coppied off the site today.10/8/2011

uShip is a Neutral Venue. uShip is not a Transportation Service Provider (TSP), freight forwarder or broker. Our site acts as a venue where shipping customers and TSPs can meet and enter into agreements. We are not involved in the actual transaction between shipping customers and TSPs. As a result, we have no control over the quality, safety, or legal aspects of the transactions that take place on our website. uShip does not prequalify or validate the claims of TSPs including with respect to their licensure, insurance and registration. We and our website function solely as a neutral venue and digital clearinghouse where two parties may agree on a price for a particular type of service. We are the neutral venue for this connection between you and other members. We do not provide any endorsement for you or your services, you acknowledge and agree that we do not provide the services and we are not in any way responsible for assisting you in any manner with your provision of the services. We cannot and will not guarantee the ability of members to complete payment for any of the provided services. Furthermore, due to the difficulty of individual authentication, especially on the Internet, we cannot and will not in any manner verify or confirm the identity or ability of members to pay for the provided services. You acknowledge and agree that any and all communications, correspondence, verbal or written, or any warranties or representations, made with regard to the services are not provided by us and are specifically and solely between you and the other member. Because we are not involved in the actual transaction between shipping customers and TSPs, we have no control over the accuracy of listings, the ability of TSPs to transport items, or the ability of shipping customers to send items. We cannot ensure that a shipping customer or TSP will actually complete a shipment.

I put this here to explin the major discrepencies in this. First of all they are not a neutral venue they faver the shipper not the transporters by giving them low ball costs to ship. They say "

uShip is not a Transportation Service Provider (TSP), freight forwarder or broker" how eer they now take payment from the shipper and hold it until delivery is made and do not pay the transporter for up to four days. That is a direct contradiction of their own policy,

On their site transporters can list their own terms and conditions like COD, no check, ect. Now uship says if you do not follow this new ram it down your throat idea they will kick you off or if you ask for the money from them up front they will kick you off their site. They not only handel your money without a contract like legal brokers have they also charge the truckers an additional admin fee". When confronted with this conflict of interest as being illegal to hold transporters money and charge an additional fee the response is it is illegal to do that but not to change policy inwich you must aggree or be kicked off site:. Even if your terms and conditions are clearly posted on yuor uship profile, .I doubt they have a brokers lic anyway but I know of several cases they have no signed contact to hold carriers money, . If you tell the shipper how much uship carges or mention fees you get kicked off too:.

I know this is lenthly but think it is worth pointing out/. Truckers be ware and if they are going to continue this practice legal brokers don't even charge the percentage uship does!. Better off going to them!.

This company is a fraud. They don't vet any of their suppliers and continuously mislead you. I paid them 1, 600 to have one of their shippers move my boat. No showby the shipper, no contact, no nothing. Uship offered to give me a credit if I booked another shipper within a year. Huh? They would have made 35.00 on this deal and now their hoping to steal 1, 550 from me. Why would anyone do business with these crooks?

WOW more crazy story's from are e-mail list;
Well my story started with an ad about. Puppy I was so happy do find one so I emailed the website and than I started to contact a lady about the ad she told me you need first to pay 700AED to get your puppy and i will be getting an email from the delivery agency so
I asked my friends about this website and the Uship delievery agaency and told me to be aware so I sent her this that I felt they were scamming and I won't pay until I receive the puppy she told me pay half and you will pay the rest when you receive the puppy and in any minute i will receive an email confirmation about my delivery and such so I said ok and than I emailed them at the same time that I don't want the puppy anymore she ignored the email ... they called me and asked when would I be transferring the money and than I didn't respond to her email so she sent me am email saying she will sue me for puppy abuse because I didnt send the money and that she took the puppy and left him at the delivery agency when I respond saying that I already said I don't want to go through this she said will am sorry but the delivery agency will be taking you to court and sew you for puppy abuse which is weird because I didn't receive the puppy in my country nor to my house I emailed saying that I contact the uship real branch in USA and that they don't have a branch in camroon she kept saying that she also was sued by this company because of a puppy issue and she had to pay more money than she should the email confirmation had all the Uship information and also applying that I personally wire the money through westernunion
And that they are based the camroon's which when I searched the real Uship had 2 branches one in USA and one in UK

Great customer service once again from uship.

As you know Trotter Auto Transport.com has been receiving thousands of e-mails and we are taking the one's we fill the consumer's who are thing about using USHIP should read, Here is another customer that picked a transport company off of USHIP, Here is there story;

I accepted a bid from KNOWSBIKES (JAMES TAYLOR WELTY) on uship to have my bike shipped from my home in Florida to where I was working in St Louis, MO. He contacted me a few days later to arrange pickup. The entire experience was a huge hassle. There were several things promised that never happened. He said the bike would be shipped on an enclosed trailer and it was picked up on an open trailer. There was also major problems with the pickup. I had to pay my dog sitter to go to the house 3 seperate times to let him in. Finally on the third time he showed up. Looking back I wish I would have killed the deal after the first problem. Once the bike was picked up I was given the run around again. He called me about 4 hours prior to delivery and offered to cancel the transaction on Uship that way I could get my deposit refunded. I informed at the time that it was not something I was willing to do. I refused to cancel the because I hoped that if anything happened to the bike I wold have some recourse with Uship. I am assuming this is why he wanted to cancel the transaction that way I could not leave negative feedback for him on USHIP. I am certain he has done this several times. Finally the bike was delivered AT Night 3 days after the original promised delivery date. When he knocked on the door he appeared to be in a huge rush. Which I thought was weird. He immediately demanded the cash. I asked to see the bike first. I went out to the trailer and checked it out as I was being rushed the entire time by Taylor. I didnt notice any damage at the time. Before he took the bike off the trailer he demanded I give him the cash. The trailer was parked in the street with very low light. As Taylor unloaded the bike the chin spoiler got caught up on the trailer and it cracked it. Once the bike was pushed up near the house I noticed the rear fender was damaged as well. It looked like he backed the bike into something. He immediatley began to deny and said the damage was already there. He had some elaborate story that there was a bunch of boxes piled on the bike in my garage. Which was very untrue. He also said a neighbor kid came over and said "It looks like the garage door hit that. His story has changed several times throughout this ordeal. I have spoke with my dog sitter and she informed me that she stayed until they pulled away and there was no one else outside at the time. This bike had less that 400 miles on it at the time and was in pristine condition. I called the police. The officer showed up and said there is nothing he could do because it was a civil matter. Taylor promised me a picture of the damaged bike clearly sitting in my garage. Which would prove his innocence for the rear fender. I did recieve a photo a few days later but it was taken 1" from the damage and there is no way you could tell where the bike was located when the pic was taken. I have made numerous attempts to contact Taylor to resolve this issue. I have gotten no response. I have also sent numerous emails to Uship customer service. All they keep telling me is I have to take it up with the service provider (Taylor). I have googled Taylor and there are many other complaints about him. I have even found a mugshot online. I sent all this information to Uship and they continue to allow him to operate under their name. So here I am now with $1600 in damage done to my motorcycle. Some of it was auctually done right in front of me. Nobody will take any responsibility and to even put more salt in the wound Taylor is still doing business like normal. I cannot belive USHIP would allow a criminal like this to continue to operate under their name.

Remember USHIP is not a transport company and make sure you read all the story's we have posted on here about USHIP's customer and how USHIP did nothing to help these customer's with the problem's from there own website, USHIP is a transport fraud site collecting thousand's of dollars from the consumer's and in return you get a phone number & e-mail address from USHIP and that is all.

If you have a story that you would like to share with us please e-mail your story to "[protected]@hotmail.com" please send us this story and how USHIP was involved. Thank you

Uship 's new payment program is a scam for new investor's, this is to show high intake of revonews to make loan officer's or investors to beleive that uship is making all this money. Matt chasen (official rep) the founder of uship has him and he's crew of people sitting around woundering how they can get more money out of the consumer and give them nothing in return. Matt chasen is needing money, I received a e-mail over the weekend from a exemployee of uship showing me doc's of a loan matt chasen applied for the first of this year in the amount of 4million dollars and only received just under 2 million dollars from privite investors, the expmployee stated to me that he was glad someone was turning them in and that he left because of all the scams going on at uship. Dear consumer's uship is not a transport company they are a wesite where the consumer post a vehicle (S) to be transported by transport company witch are the company you the consumer receive bid's from, now I have been in this trade of shipping vehicle's for over 15 years and the fastest way of shipping vehicle's is c. O. D's, now with uship's new "safe pay" program that is now no longer, we have filed a complaint with the attorney generals office and with federal trade comm. It has been made very clear to me from these agency's that uship is violating every transport company's term &condition on this website, what uship does not get is that the consumer is on uship's website looking for a transport company to move there vehicle (S) now once you accepted a bid from a transport company you are now there customers and you have to by law understand there terms & conditions of how that company operate's it's business of transporting vehicle or freight, uship once again is not a transport company and doe's not have a mc number to transport anything you the consumer are paying 22% on top of the bid's you are receiving to get a phone number & e-mail contact thats all, if anything go's wrong uship does nothing because they are not the responsible party your shipping company is. Now we where suspeneded for not accetping one of these new "safe pay" loads and we have opened 5 new business profile's on uship in the last week just to prove that uship does not check out the company's that are bidding on uship's website. If you what to go around uship and save a lot of money just google the transporter's company name and more then likely they will have a website with there phone number on it or just call us at [protected] or go to are website ; http://wwwtrotterautotransport.com. Thank you please be carefull lot of scams on uship.

Uship is a consumer scam, They are not bonded nor do they have MC number and they do not check the company's they are on there website bidding on vehicle's, Be very carefull of uship and if you do use them read the terms and condition of the company they you are going to pick, 99.9 % of them do not accepted there new scam witch is "SAFE PAY" this is a scam you have a choice to not accept this when accepting a bid, Pay your transport company not Uship, Uship is doing this to have false banking statement to show investors, Remember Uship charges over 20% on top of the "TRANSPOTERS" bid and all you the consumer get out of that is a phone number and a e-mail address That's all. All thee bids you receive on uship you have there company names just google them and more likely that company will have a website and you can call them direct and be blowen away on how much cheaper the price will be them what you receivered thur Uship. We have turned in Uship for there business practies this week [protected]) to the Attorney General office in witch they have sent us all the paper work for this complain and we will be fax's it to several different company's that bid on Uship as they have already stated they would add there complains they have with Uship plus sign on are"s. If you have had problem with Uship please e-mail those in writing to [protected]@hotmail.com Please include a contact number and your full name, we have already just in two days received hundreds of complains, Please keep them coming we will be turing these over to attorney generals office with are at the same time and we will be showing a lot of these to DATELINE NBC as they are going to Interveiw me about this growing problem. Thank you, Trotter Auto Transport.com

Trotter Auto Transport.com has been bidding on vehicle from uship for over 2 years now and we have seen some of the worst service and customer service by uship ever. Just remember U the consumer are paying uship 20% above are bid to get are phone number and e-mail address, Thats all you are getting out of uship, this is a big scam. I will tell you how to get around uship, Post your vehicle (s) on uship and the bidders names will come to you as they bid on your vehicle, Now just take that business and GOOGLE it and 90% of the time they will have website with there phone number on it, Now we at www.trotterautotransport.com have received meany phone call this way and when we tell the customer how much we bidded on there vehicle they are blown away on how much cheaper it was to call us direct, sometimes by as much as $200.00 dollars. Uship now is offering a new payed program, When you accepted a bid on uship the customer can pay the hole amount of the bid to uship and uship will not release the money to the company transporting your vehicle until it is delivered and the customer go's back to uship and state's it's been delivered, Sound's great right well this is not great program. 99% of all transport's are done by c.o.d.'s so the problem is with out the transport company dealing with the customer directly with the transport charge's we will not be able to transport your vehicle by c.o.d's no more witch will result in vehicle's not being transported in the timely matter that the transporters do this in. We at Trotter Auto Transport it is in are Term and condition on uship and are website that c.o.d.'s is are contract with the customer. Now today [protected] we received a e-mail that if we do not change are terms and condition and or cancel any order's accepted by a customer on uship they will suspend are account with uship so we can not bid on vehicle. Why is uship doing it this way, So then you accepted a bid you will think that's what you are paying for and you will not see how much uship is charging on top of are bids. just no if you have a insurnce claim uship does not help you with that only your transport company so stop getting suckered in by uship and there very high charges and THEY ARE NOT A TRANSPORT COMPANY.

U-ship is a ripoff. I know I use u-ship to find stuff to haul w/my pick-up and vehicles to drive for people to try to make some $

First of all the people running u-ship use deceptive practices both w/shippers and tsp's.

Next they do not care about an honest person trying to make a buck. All they care about how much money they can put in matt chasen's (The founder) pocket. They charge tsp's that go beyond what they consider a normal cancellation rate extra bid fee's. Just way for them to rip folks off and put extra $ in chasens poicket.

A lot of guy's are bidding rediculously low on stuff and undercutting others who are placing reasonable and fair bid's. Also there shippers who have no idea about how much it really cost's a tranporter in fuel, maintaince and insurance for his truck.

Lastly, when a shipper pays a deposit to u-ship the tsp does not get it though u-ship tells the shipper they do. It goes to cover the tsp's bid fee. U-ship does not tell the shipper that. I've run into quite a few customers who did not know that I don't get the deposit they paid.

It's time for u-ship to stop being so greedy and stop being so quote nuetral and start being honest and fair!

I hired a shipper with outstanding customer reviews. Trusted uShip's representation as hosting real movers. Result: my things are gone. The mover took off, disappeared. Learned that uShip doesn't even have up to date address for the guy. Doesn't have any other contact info. I'm out $20, 000. Uship: "sorry, we're a neutral third party."

Have others had this happen to them? Send me a note - I'd love to hear about it.

I am suppose to receive 2 macaws from Washington state and the company called from Maine area code. I have no problem sending shipping cost to a business, however the only payment they will accept is Western Union shipped to a person in Modolva Republic. They don't have a quick claim ID. They claim that the company is being audited and can only accept Money Wire transfers. They speak broken English and over the phone it is constantly broken up like a cell phone going into a tunnel.I have been emailing back and forth for over 4 hours. They're typing keeps getting larger, like I can't see. I emailed everything to the main company to try to straighten this out, so far no response and they don't have a listed telephone number. If they really have the birds they will find a way to accept proper payment even COD.
