Have you heard about uShip, a new online marketplace for shipping and moving stuff? Say you have to move home and need to find out the best available price for shipping it, but are not looking forward to calling all the moving companies one by one. Well, here is the solution. Springwise reports that you can list your request online at uShip and movers will answer with their quotes and you can select the best one. Sounds good, right? I thought so too. You can get discounts of up to 80%, since carriers are eager to fill unused cargo space to make their trip efficient. Listing is free and you don't have to accept a bid unless you want to.
Listings include all relevant information: dimensions, weight, packaging, origin and destination. uShip displays a map and route information for each freight that carriers are bidding on, along with pickup and delivery timeframes. To find shipments along their route, freight companies fill in their departure and arrival zipcodes, and how many miles they're willing to go out of their way.
