Hi everyone, many of you have already seen in the "Resources" tab that we are partnered with a really awesome moving services company called uShip. The company and the team are just top notch and squared away all around.

It would be super helpful for us here at RP if some of you could check out their services and report back your findings in this thread. Get into the process flow, etc. as well. The link is below. To those of you who help us out with this, you are my friend forever, and I will try to get you more Influence Points for it. ;)

CPT Kletzing,
This looks like a nice company. I like the style of their advertisement. This advert will most definitely prompt users to carefully consider what they perceive as RP endorsement. I never heard about the uShip company before today. I learned about them through this website. I would like them to go a bit further and help with all those pesky complicated DoD forms.
Warmest Regards, Sandy
I recently heard, and confirmed with my finance detachment that a Soldier can be reimbursed for self storage. I moved to Korea nearly three years ago and had to put some of my stuff into self storage;...

I might have a fairly small move coming up and I was looking into trying to do it myself. Their quote was so reasonable, I would be dumb to screw around with a U-Haul.

Sir,
I will be PCSing soon and am already working on the logistics. I'm looking to do a PPM and am utilizing uShip. I've already used them to ship a vehicle and referred them to others. The vehicle shipping was smooth and painless. I'll know in a few months how their cargo operations work out.

Thanks, SGT Mickles. Did you connect with uShip through our website, or was this something you already knew about? All feedback helps! :)

It was something I already knew about. I finally decided to get off of my lazy butt and complete my shipment info today to submit for bids. The system crashed on me already, and the TroopID (which I never heard of) is confusing. I'm not really quite sure how it works or what it does.

Thanks. So, you went to the uShip site and then used TroopID, and you experienced problems with the process? Is that accurate?

Correct. I think I fixed it. We will see soon. I signed up for the TroopID with my [login to see] account and it never registered. I used the old @us.army.mil account and was able to be verified right away. So far, I'm not sure if my uShip account is tracking it, and there is no way to check and see.

Sir, this is outstanding. I wish I had known about this during my last move. It was a nightmare for my family, especially my wife, since this was their first ever military move. I will be conducting my last military move later this year and I will most certainly consider uShip. Once I check them out, and possibly use them, I will post an evalution on here. Thanks.

So I gave uShip a try. No luck. It could just be that there are many people moving this time of year. I received one high bid on the final day (listings last a week) and 3 others asking me what I wanted to pay (though I have not an idea what it should cost). I ended up going another route. Is it ok if I share what I found to be the cheapest (though requires work) in this discussion, seeing that it is promoting uShip?

Sir,
Thanks. However, I am loading up my ******* tomorrow. Due to location, it's easier to do it through another company.

It's been almost a week, yet no bids, yet. It's possible that I have the dates set too far out (late March), though I was contacted 3 times to give them a price. Unfortunately, I have no quotes to compare it to, so I do not know a reasonable rate to "lock them in".
