[AMRadio] Uber for packages

[w5jo at brightok.net]

This morning I had a requirement to ship a package via the normal channels but had to drive about 60 miles to do it.  In all the mess I had a guy tell me about a new business that has kicked off that might be a use to us.  

The service does not require packing and, depending on the destination, the price can be negotiable.  I have not delved deeply into the website for the service but may very well use it in the future.  It is personal handling of your package to your desired destination.  Here is a link to their website and they have an app for your smart phone, naturally.

It seems as if you pay a set charge for small or medium packages but with larger items, which many of us wish to move about the country, require that you give credit card information before you start your negotiations with drivers.  They say they do not charge your card, just use it to verify a valid card and only charge after the negotiations are finished.  They also allow one to choose any driver who chooses to answer your query so you can turn down any of them and move to another person.

The company is called ShipHike.
