WHO CARES? Unishippers part of the problem, not solution at DHL (not that there is a solution)
It is known in the industry that Unishippers back solicits customers and steals clients so I guess it is fitting to see a post about this:
Barebones pricings - with no margins. Pompous account executives. And sociopathical executive management. The whole company just cared about their commissions. Unishippers was never an asset. They will find that UPS will not put up with their backstabbing methods.

When shipping a large boat or yacht, it is essential that you find a reputable transport company who has the proper equipment, experience and authority to safely ship your boat.
It is your responsibility to ensure that the boat transport company you choose is reputable and that your boat arrives at its destination with no problems. Researching a boat shipping company’s authority, insurance and past business record will help you determine if you can trust them with shipping your valuable boat or yacht.
Check Boat Transport Authority
Before considering any boat transport company, you must check that the company has Federal Motor Carrier Authority and Federal DOT Authority.
Any legal boat carrier should be able to provide their MC and DOT numbers, and any responsible shipper should verify these at www.safersys.org to make sure the carrier is registered for boat transport.
Car transport link:
http://www.uship.com/vehicles/articles/choosing-an-auto-transporter/
Choosing an auto transport company can be an overwhelming experience. There are several ways to find a transporter—the phone book and the internet are the most commonly used resources. If you are moving, ask your moving company for recommendations but do not feel obligated to use the same mover for your household goods and your car. Transporting a vehicle takes special skills, equipment and insurance, and your household mover may or may not be the best option for transporting your car. You should also ask friends and family for references, as first hand experience is the best indicator of the service you will receive.
Check for proper transport authority
When searching for an auto transporter, a few minutes of research can save you from major headaches in the long haul.
All auto transporters are required to be registered with the Department of Transportation and must have an active USDOT and MC number.
The only exception are forwarders or brokers, who only have MC numbers.
To check the credentials of a transport company, search by their company name, DOT number and MC number at www.safersys.org.
In addition to verifying that their USDOT and MC numbers are valid, make sure that the carrier is specifically credentialed to transport motor vehicles.
Verify liability and cargo insurance
Along with being registered with the Department of Transportation, all carriers are required to have COMMERCIAL liability and cargo insurance.
Although the amounts of coverage vary, you should request written proof of a transporter’s coverage before hiring them.
You can confirm insurance information on www.safersys.org or by calling the transporter’s insurance company.
The insurance should be current and should adequately cover the value of your car. Ask about any limits on the insurance, and if it is necessary, request additional coverage.
MotorCycle Transport link:
http://www.uship.com/motorcycles/articles/Choosing-a-motorcycle-transporter/
You should choose your motorcycle transporter based on their authority, insurance, and experience. Only once you verify carriers’ credentials should you start to compare quotes and service levels. There are enough legal, experienced motorcycle carriers available that you should have no problem finding one that fits your needs.
Verify transport authority
All legal motorcycle carriers are required to be registered with the Department of Transportation.
A carrier’s authority can be verified by checking their DOT and MC numbers at www.safersys.org.
In addition to checking your motorcycle transporter’s registration, verify that they are legally allowed to ship motor vehicles.
Check insurance coverage
All motorcycle transporters should carry a minimum amount of insurance coverage. You should ask your carrier for a copy of their certificate of insurance. On this document, you will find the details of their insurance policy along with contact information for the insurance company. Check the information provided on the certificate with the insurance company listed or through the Department of Transportation at www.safersys.org.
Household Goods link:
http://www.uship.com/moving/articles/investigating-moving-companies/
Moving an entire household is stressful enough without having to deal with a disreputable moving company. When hiring professional movers, time spent investigating a company can save you a lot of money and heartache. You should know that the movers you hire are credentialed, insured, and experienced.
Verify transportation authority
Before considering a moving company, ensure they are legally registered as a mover. The Department of Transportation requires all household moving companies to have USDOT or MC numbers. All legal movers should provide you with these numbers, which you can verify on http://www.safersys.org. At this site you can search by company name or USDOT number to make sure that your mover is credentialed to provide household moving services.
Check insurance coverage
In addition to being registered with the Department of Transportation, all household moving companies are required to carry a minimum amount of liability and cargo insurance. Coverage varies from mover to mover, so be sure to ask for each company's specific policy.
A moving company should be able to provide you with written proof of their insurance coverage, called a Certificate of Insurance. Confirming a mover's insurance is easy: just look them up on http://www.safersys.org or call the insurance company listed on the certificate. You should also be able to purchase additional insurance from the moving company, which is highly recommended.

Pet and Livestock transport link:
http://www.uship.com/Pets/articles/choosing-a-pet-transporter/
Like any other professional shipping service, pet transporters are bound by strict federal, state, and local regulations. Because pet transporters are responsible for shipping live animals, the requirements for licensing and certification can be very stringent. Before trusting your pet with a transporter, make sure they have the correct authority, experience, and knowledge to safely transport your pet.
What authority and licenses are required for a pet transporter?
A pet transporter must be licensed by the USDA as a dealer, carrier, or intermediate handler if they are transporting "regulated" animals. If an animal is unregulated, such as a bird, fish, or reptile, an animal transporter does not need to be licensed by the USDA. Regulations vary animal-to-animal, so make sure you hire a transporter with the proper authority to ship your pet.
In addition to being licensed, your carrier should provide a minimum amount of insurance. Usually this is one to five hundred dollars per pet. Pet transportation insurance should cover loss, injury, or death of your pet during the trip. Usually, insurance will not cover illness or natural death during transportation.
Experience
In addition to being properly licensed and insured, your carrier should have experience with your type of animal. A pet shipper used to handling horses may not be able to ship your snake properly. Make sure to choose a transporter that specializes in your animal, so you know they have the proper knowledge and experience.
Questions to ask your pet transporter:
How long have you been transporting pets?
What are your policies and procedures?
Are you licensed and insured?
How often do you stay in contact with me during the trip?
What are your fees?
How often do you let out the animals?
What do you do with animals that stay with you overnight?
What supplies should I pack with my pet?
Freight shipping link:
http://www.uship.com/freight/articles/finding-a-freight-carrier/
Finding a Freight Carrier
A freight carrier is the company or person who directly handles your shipment. If you are shipping LTL or international freight, several carriers may handle your shipment. For some shipments, you might hire a freight broker or a freight carrier—companies that contract with a network of carriers to arrange for your freight shipment.
It’s often best to hire a freight carrier directly. Freight carriers are usually small companies or independent owner-operators who offer great services at reasonable prices.
Check Authority, Insurance, and Business Records
The first thing to check when hiring a freight carrier is their authority. A carrier must be authorized by the Department of Transportation to transport goods for hire, and should have a USDOT and MC number that can be verified on safersys.org, unless they are a freight broker or freight forwarder. A freight broker or forwarder will only have a MC number. You can look up any company’s credentials by DOT number, MC number, or company name.
Next, verify your carrier’s cargo insurance. All freight haulers are required to carry a minimum amount of insurance, but you may want to purchase additional coverage from a third party. Ask your freight hauler for their claims-to-damage ratio. This statistic reveals the percentage of claims that have been paid as a result of loss, damage, or theft. A reliable company should have a claims-to-damage rate of 1.5 percent or lower.
Finally, look at a freight carrier’s transaction history. Do they have a positive reputation among fellow transport companies and previous customers? Any reputable freight hauler should be able to provide references from previous customers. You may also want to look up the company on the Better Business Bureau website to see if any complaints have been lodged against them.

Uship.com scammers & illegal carriers favorite site
USHIP ALLOWS ILLEGAL CARRIERS ON THEIR WEBSITE
TRUE
Uship.com allows any type of carrier, legal or illegal onto their website. They make an upfront fee from the person who places the shipment onto uship so it does not matter to uship if the carrier is legal or illegal
Per their user agreement: IMPORTANT: uShip does not screen or qualify TSPs for compliance with federal, state or local laws and regulations. It is recommended that you confirm such compliance directly with the TSP before services are rendered by the TSP.
This = ILLEGAL CARRIERS GALORE !
USHIP HAS A LISTED PHONE NUMBER AND ADDRESS ONLINE
FALSE
Uship.com hides the fact that they have moved locations 3 times recently and you cannot find a phone number online anywhere. We checked Ranking.com and the info listed there is fake too.
Here is one of the founders info that we received from a legal carrier:
Mickey Millsap
Director, uShip, Inc.
3601 South Congress Avenue, C-104
Austin, TX 78704
1-800-698-7447 ext.102
SkypeID: mmillsap
mickey@uShip.com
USHIP PAYS ATTENTION TO IT'S USERS NEEDS
FALSE
UShip.com allows off site communication to happen: HERE
UShip.com will not answer questions in their own forum: HERE
UShip.com will not resolve issues on their site: HERE
You need to view their forum (before they delete the negative posts about their crappy performance). There you will see the warnings about illegal uship carriers, scammers on uship.com and uship failing miserably to protect their users.
Neutral only when it suits them, reactive only when the truth comes out.
USHIP IS FREE
FALSE
UShip charges a broker fee to the person who created the shipment but it is far from free. It is even illegal (per the uship.com user agreement) to mention the uship fees or any such speach. If you to it 3 times, you are banned from their site.
What could they be hiding? As a carrier on uship stated: "Its called a USHIP SERVICE FEE. No one has said they WERE NOT CHARGED the extra fee. Just another way for them to make a KILLING. Thats just as bad as them telling you the deposit that you have to pay when you accept the bid belongs to US THE CARRIER, when it really belongs to THEM"
Here is a forum post that mentions how they are doubling the fees without approval, just another way they are stealing? uship fees posting
USHIP IS A NEUTRAL VENUE
FALSE
Uship claims they are neutral but as we have seen in the past, ones that provide a "kickback" to uship are allowed to break the rules. UTITransportSolutions actually went to extremes on uship to get many legal, carriers kicked off because they underbid them. How could that happen? THey give uship a kickback. UTiTransportSolutions is now Fairpricedshipping or the slanderer Tyler Seff who will go to great lengths to try and destroy his competition.
YOU CAN FOLLOW THE RULES ON USHIP AND BE PROTECTED
FALSE
Per Mickey Millsap, Director of uship scams: "If you are not satisfied, please see our policy from our user agreement below:" 21. Right to Reject or Remove Members. We reserve the absolute right to reject your participation, or remove you from your current participation, in the uShip website at any time and for any reason or for no reason and without notice to you. An event that may result in the rejection or removal of Your participation can include but is not limited to: any circumvention of the uShip marketplace by you or by others at your direction; Your creation, maintenance and/or management of more than one account; your circumvention or non-payment in full of our fees; any attempt by you to improperly influence, or cause another to, improperly influence the feedback of members; any attempt by you to harass, or cause another to harass, or commit inappropriate communications with a member and/or a failure to deliver the promised services on time; any attempt by you to harass, or cause another to harass, or commit inappropriate communications with one of employees, agents, or partners.
USHIP IS A FREIGHT BROKER
TRUE AND FALSE
Uship.com does receive payment for brokering a load but the US DOT is too busy to enfore the laws.
5. Deposits. When a shipper accepts a bid, they are required to pre-pay a deposit in the amount of the TSP’s transaction fee (see Section 4). This deposit is collected by uShip and credited to the TSP’s uShip account. The deposit amount is then deducted from the accepted bid amount, and the shipper pays the balance directly to the TSP. For example, if the total accepted bid is $2,500, then based on the tiered transaction fee, the shipper will pay an amount equal to the $187.50 fee. The deposit amount of $187.50 is collected by uShip and credited to the TSP’s uShip account. The shipper then pays the remaining balance of $2312.50 directly to the TSP. The pre-paid deposit is refundable to the shipper in the event of a match cancellation/retraction or in a dispute where the TSP is determined to be at fault.
USHIP ALLOWS FELONS ON THEIR WEBSITE
TRUE
Uship.com allows any type of carrier, legal or illegal onto their website. THIS IS ANOTHER OF MANY OF THEIR OWN RULES THEY BREAK. They collect fees from everyone BUT the carrier, this allows they to keep scammers on their site for a long time. the scammers help bring in the bucks!
USHIP CARES ABOUT THEIR USERS
FALSE Uship.com is all about getting money and nothing else. If the links are missing, it is becuase uship deleted them

USHIP ALLOWS ILLEGAL CARRIERS ON THEIR WEBSITE. NOT A SAFE PLACE TO DO BUSINESS
USHIP WILL ANSWER MY QUESTIONS WHEN THERE IS AN ISSUE
TRUE
USHIP.COM WILL ANSWER BUT NOT THE WAY YOU WANT. IT WILL EITHER BE AN ABSTRACT ANSWER OR ONE THAT WILL NOT HELP IN ANY HUMANLY WAY POSSIBLE.
YOU WOULD RECOMMEND USHIP TO EVERYONE
FALSE
USHIP.COM IS PERFECT FOR THOSE WHO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT SHIPPING AND WANT TO BE SCAMMED, LIED TO AND TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF.
If you want the possibility of your items or money getting stolen or maybe a bid by fairpricedscammer (fairpricedshipping) that hides the real cost until you accept (allowed by uship btw) then by all means go to uship.com, where the scammers go.
Have you ever seen a map that shows all the pedophiles in your neighborhood? Scary isn't it? Well if you could see the illegals and scammers on uship the same way you would move to a safer neighborhood.
USHIP WILL BE THERE FOR YOU AND HELP YOU GROW YOUR BUSINESS
FALSE
USHIP.COM DOES NOT GIVE A CRAP ABOUT YOU, EXCEPT GETTING YOUR MONEY. After that, you are so screwed you are better taking your shipment, the money you would pay and place it in a well ventilated area and burn it.
USHIP ALLOWS ILLEGAL CARRIERS ON THEIR WEBSITE
TRUE
Uship.com allows any type of carrier, legal or illegal onto their website. They make an upfront fee from the person who places the shipment onto uship so it does not matter to uship if the carrier is legal or illegal
Per their user agreement: IMPORTANT: uShip does not screen or qualify TSPs for compliance with federal, state or local laws and regulations. It is recommended that you confirm such compliance directly with the TSP before services are rendered by the TSP.
This = ILLEGAL CARRIERS GALORE !
USHIP HAS A LISTED PHONE NUMBER AND ADDRESS ONLINE
FALSE
Uship.com hides the fact that they have moved locations 3 times recently and you cannot find a phone number online anywhere. We checked Ranking.com and the info listed there is fake too.
Here is one of the founders info that we received from a legal carrier:
Mickey Millsap

USHIP PAYS ATTENTION TO IT'S USERS NEEDS
FALSE
UShip.com allows off site communication to happen: HERE
UShip.com will not answer questions in their own forum: HERE
UShip.com will not resolve issues on their site: HERE
You need to view their forum (before they delete the negative posts about their crappy performance). There you will see the warnings about illegal uship carriers, scammers on uship.com and uship failing miserably to protect their users.
Neutral only when it suits them, reactive only when the truth comes out.
USHIP IS FREE
FALSE
UShip charges a broker fee to the person who created the shipment but it is far from free. It is even illegal (per the uship.com user agreement) to mention the uship fees or any such speach. If you to it 3 times, you are banned from their site.
What could they be hiding? As a carrier on uship stated: "Its called a USHIP SERVICE FEE. No one has said they WERE NOT CHARGED the extra fee. Just another way for them to make a KILLING. Thats just as bad as them telling you the deposit that you have to pay when you accept the bid belongs to US THE CARRIER, when it really belongs to THEM"
Here is a forum post that mentions how they are doubling the fees without approval, just another way they are stealing? uship fees posting
USHIP IS A NEUTRAL VENUE
FALSE
Uship claims they are neutral but as we have seen in the past, ones that provide a "kickback" to uship are allowed to break the rules. UTITransportSolutions actually went to extremes on uship to get many legal, carriers kicked off because they underbid them. How could that happen? THey give uship a kickback. UTiTransportSolutions is now Fairpricedshipping or the slanderer Tyler Seff who will go to great lengths to try and destroy his competition.
YOU CAN FOLLOW THE RULES ON USHIP AND BE PROTECTED
FALSE
Per Mickey Millsap, Director of uship scams: "If you are not satisfied, please see our policy from our user agreement below:" 21. Right to Reject or Remove Members. We reserve the absolute right to reject your participation, or remove you from your current participation, in the uShip website at any time and for any reason or for no reason and without notice to you. An event that may result in the rejection or removal of Your participation can include but is not limited to: any circumvention of the uShip marketplace by you or by others at your direction; Your creation, maintenance and/or management of more than one account; your circumvention or non-payment in full of our fees; any attempt by you to improperly influence, or cause another to, improperly influence the feedback of members; any attempt by you to harass, or cause another to harass, or commit inappropriate communications with a member and/or a failure to deliver the promised services on time; any attempt by you to harass, or cause another to harass, or commit inappropriate communications with one of employees, agents, or partners.
USHIP IS A FREIGHT BROKER
TRUE AND FALSE
Uship.com does receive payment for brokering a load but the US DOT is too busy to enfore the laws.
5. Deposits. When a shipper accepts a bid, they are required to pre-pay a deposit in the amount of the TSP’s transaction fee (see Section 4). This deposit is collected by uShip and credited to the TSP’s uShip account. The deposit amount is then deducted from the accepted bid amount, and the shipper pays the balance directly to the TSP. For example, if the total accepted bid is $2,500, then based on the tiered transaction fee, the shipper will pay an amount equal to the $187.50 fee. The deposit amount of $187.50 is collected by uShip and credited to the TSP’s uShip account. The shipper then pays the remaining balance of $2312.50 directly to the TSP. The pre-paid deposit is refundable to the shipper in the event of a match cancellation/retraction or in a dispute where the TSP is determined to be at fault.
