| Other information | |
| We have separate local sites for the UK, Germany, France, Netherlands, EU (English language), US, Canada, Australia and Global.Couriers have a profile page to upload company information, information about the specialisms, experience, etc. This page is fully visible to customers before they accept quotes and we encourage customers to read profiles before they accept any quote. This profile page is included in our directory, and is fully indexed by Google, becoming a strong marketing tool. Customers can ask couriers to quote for jobs direct off this page.Other Tools that we have to help couriers: - About to me calculator – make sure your quotes are always grossed up for the fees, so no nasty surprises. - Power provider scheme means regular couriers get discounts on fees and VIP support. - Price filter means that you can filter out all jobs below a certain price. - Map search, along a route search, and local search make it easy to locate extra jobs to fit in with your schedule. - Terrapass scheme means that you can offer your customers offsets for their deliveries – making it truly carbon neutral. Customer services, unlike some other online transport marketplaces, we have a full customer service support team, working from 8am through to 11pm, contactable via email or phone. And every new courier signing up gets a named customer service representative so that they can contact them direct with any queries or problems that they may have. All listings relating to ebay items not won are automatically deleted to ensure that listings represent real requirements. |

HI
I am the UK country manager for uShip, and would be pleased to confirm the details that you have above for uShip.
Kind regards
Sandra
Another Rubbish Site that will kill the courier industry. And everybody fighting for the scraps. Very Similar to Shiply. Ebay in reverse. Again no good for the sameday courier. waste of time.
To be fair, uShip isn’t primarily a source of same day courier work. uShip is designed to be a source of top up, where customers are informed that their jobs are fitted into pre exsiting trips and as such they need to have flexbility with regards to the timings. Jobs that are listed on uShip for sameday deliveries are generally marked “U” and those jobs tend to be matched at prices in the region of 80p-£1 a mile, which although at the lower end of sameday rates aren’t particularly unusual on other sameday exchanges.
uShip also provides a price filter that couriers can use, this is in the toolbar on the left hand side. Couriers can use this to set a bottom price that you want any jobs priced below that filtered out. When you search on uShip you can set the filter to £x and then save your settings, this way, next time you search all jobs below that amount will automatically be filtered out for you.
