If you just won an okay auction and are looking to ship it for the lowest price, be very careful with a shipping auction website called USHIP.ge
USHIP is sort of like okay where you list something that needs to be shipped and shipping gepanies bid on shipping your item.
I used USHIP thinking that the shipping gepanies where legitamate and guaranteed. I was dead wrong!
Almost anyone can join USHIP and claim that they are a shipping gepany. USHIP is a neutral party so if anything happens between you and the shipping gepany, you deal with them.
I used USHIP.ge to ship a scooter. I placed my shipping ad and got a bidder(shipping gepany called CJTRUCKING). I didn't read the fine print that USHIP didn't guarantee their shipping gepany members were legit or "what if something happens to my shipment".
I paid the so called shipping gepany(CJTRUCKING) and they came and picked up my scooter. It was supposed to be delivered in 7-10 days.
It has been 14 days and I haven't heard anything from (CJTRUCKING) I tried calling them and their phone was disconnected.
What is even worse is that, I tried contacting USHIP.ge with 2 emails and a phone call and nobody has replied back.
I went to their website to see what I could do about getting my shipment. The USHIP website doesn't have much support information for its users. Not even a phone number. I had to contact the BBB(Better Business Bureau) to get it. I finally found out all the legal stuff for USHIP and to make a long story short, you the shipper, is taking a risk with whoever you use to ship your product. If the shipping gepany accepts your shipping contract and takes the money and skips town, too bad, you're on your own. USHIP is again NEUTRAL between you and the shipping gepany.
You might as well place an ad on CRAIGSLIST and just ask any Joe Schmoe to deliver something for a certain price. There is no guarantee or recourse if something happens to your item that is being shipped.
I think USHIP needs to be more like okay and have more support for it's members and validating that its members are genuine and trustworthy.
