Group Bidding
Group bidding is an advanced bidding tool that allows qualified* Service Providers to bid on multiple shipments without the risk of overbooking and incurring cancellations. With group bidding, you can "group" multiple shipments and set a limit on how many bids from that group you can service. Once you reach that limit, uShip will automatically cancel all other bids from that group.
