Shipping Companies?

Recommended Posts

We are looking at getting a replacement Malibu and have found one we are interested in but its in NH and we are in CA. Any good experiences with shipping companies if we are able to put something together?

I just used Uship to ship a boat from NY state to CA. VERY HAPPY! Don’t just go by price, check the reviews and ask questions. Mine ended up being about $1 a mile which seemed pretty cheap.

Wow.  A buck a mile is very cheap; was it loaded on a truck with other boats?  That would barely cover diesel for a hot shotter towing the boat. 

It was towed. Ya, his margin seemed small.

not what I was expecting, looks like it would work well.  Curious if you went and saw it, had a dealer inspect it, how did you handle the funds transfer?

I’ve used uship. Had one issue with a guy who had a trailer that wasn’t even close to being big enough but sent him away and the second guy was great. 
 

Also have heard good things about these guys. For how professional they are they’re very reasonably priced.

I just listed mine on Uship this morning.  We'll see what sort of quotes come back.   Good to know some of the quotes you guys are getting.  "teamerickson's" boat doesn't look to bad after that haul!

mine just got delivered today. MKevin1211 was my driver. $4,350.00 for 3050 miles and he used a flatbed carrier and not off the bumper.  I'm happy with the service.

I've received several quotes.  Surprised by how many are from "New Service Providers"  and 0 feedback ratings.  Should I be concerned using anyone without a rating?

I would only use a supplier that I could trust.  IME, there is a difference.

@Greg_S  I'm from NH, if I can help in anyway please let me know. Is it a private sale or from a dealer?
