DO NOT SHIP THROUGH USHIP!!!


As some of you know, I attempted to have my TV shipped through uShip. It turns out that uShip has their system set up so that bad shippers can get off the hook without suffering any consequences and uShip does not have to return your deposit. Attempting to have my TV shipped through uShip cost me $50 for nothing.

DO NOT SHIP THROUGH USHIP!!!

Re: DO NOT SHIP THROUGH USHIP!!!


My TV is still with the seller. I haven’t been able to reach them for about two weeks, but that is not unusual for them.

When a shipper accepts a shipment, uShip requires that you make a deposit of a certain percent. The deposit stays with uShip. If the shipper skips out on you, you have to cancel the shipment to get your deposit back. Once it is cancelled, there is no way to give the shipper negative feedback. uShip apparently keeps your deposit as a “fee”.

I will make a post at Audiokarma asking whats the best shipper out there who can handle the job. I will mention to those guys that Uship bites and I will make sure that Uship never sees a dime from anyone I know again.

I am so sorry that happened to you Spike. I will do what I can to help.

I appreciate your support, Chuckles. It was my own decision to go through them. I knew I was taking a chance.

You took a chance when you bought your flask through a seller with no reputation, and I took a chance when I went through uShip. Sometimes you get the fox and sometimes the fox gets you!

Re: DO NOT SHIP THROUGH USHIP!!!


That sucks big time. Even with the price of postage stamps going up soon there still isn't a real reliable shipping method. Uhm, is someone working on a star trek transporter? Maybe that might get things done.
