There is a great deal of scams in the world today, and uShip is one of those shipping platforms that is being called just that.
You can search uShip Scam and come up with more negative reviews that you will want to read. Things like people that have won the bids and never showed up to pick up the items they are suppose to pick up.
The other big problem is; people bid and keep bidding driving the price of shipment so low that there is no possible way they can make money on these shipments, therefore, they fail to show up to do the pickup, and never bother to let someone know which causes the person wanting to ship the items a huge problem.
uShip Scam
Over 90% of the people doing the bidding on uShip don’t have a profile picture and no profile information filled out at all.
uShip Loads are obviously being sent out, as well as many that aren’t being sent out, or picked up like promised. Once someone wins the bid and then don’t show up to pick up the load, the customer (shipper) now has a huge trust issue with others that may want to bid on their items.
Next problem is this:
The actual shipper (person wanting to ship their items) post their stuff, then after many people take the time to bid and keep bidding for days, the person who made the post of items they want shipped will take the post down and often times repost later. This is a very frustrating and unethical trick to pull.
I encourage people who are wanting to ship something, like trailers, boats, campers, fifth wheels, cars, trucks, vans and things like pallets of items, to find someone outside of uShip or other shipping platforms.
Look at credible individuals like Pin Oaks Farm – MPE LLC, or others that do short distance hauls as well as long distance hauls. By dealing with smaller company’s like these, you will have a much more personal experience, as well as much more guaranteed and without all the uShip fees and frustrations.
If someone you are wanting to deal with doesn’t have a profile picture, or contact information, then they are more than likely trying to hide something! Do some research and be careful who you do business with.
Always do your best,
