Why doesn’t anyone mention that they allow illegal carriers to scam not only money from psople but they have many carriers that have stolen household goods, motorcycles, etc???
They are nothing but a portal for scammers and thieves. If you want to take the gamble that your items will get stolen or maybe just your money. use uship or should I say uScam. Last month there has been over $20,000 in scams on that poor site.
If you read through their forums you will also see that they are known to remove posts too. That way when people such as yourself search, you will not find out about issues like this.
If you do a search on uship for “remove post” you will see that it happens alot and they hide as much of the illegal activity they can.
It is not a peer to peer network nor are they a neutral venue, they are harboring illegal activity and hiding it by censoring their forums.

I stand by that they are not underrated but overrated. Thank you for having this site so people can read about this ongoing issue.
Look at this carrier if you want to see a scam that went on after they were warned: http://www.uship.com/profile/lug201/
Hey buddy
Thanks for the feedback, I am sure many people would want to read this.
lol.. That’s like saying eBay or Craigslist is nothing but a portal for scammers and thieves. Guess what! Fraud happens in every open marketplace! people need to stop being idiots and start taking some personal responsibility instead of expecting someone to hold their hand.
Probably nobody mentioned it because you go around and put this same thing on every blog post about u-ship i’ve seen today. What is your website?
[…] that won’t be accepted by standard package carriers than uShip is the place to go. Read more: uShip - Marketplace for Shipping Services. (incl. […]
Uship is only secure if you do your homework. Check out every carrier before accepting a bid, we allow anyone to create an account. Actually that is not true. If you a legal one, we’ll end up banning you for some childish reason like you keep telling us that we continually break the law.
If you have a problem, call us. Oops, wait we do not publish our number. Anyway, drop us an email, I’ll answer right away.
Oops again, in the ask Mickey forum there are well over 1000 posts but I have only answered about 250-260 of them
Guess what, you’re screwed. Place youre shipment on uship anyway, we’ll make money even if you get scammed!
