Title: Shipping Large Items?
Post by: Romeo2k on May 17, 2010, 04:14:48 AM
So...
Whats the Cheapest way to Ship something that is roughly 6'x4'x4'  and weighs 35pounds?

UPS gave a quote of well over $100.00... Was hoping for around 65.00.

Anyone shipped any Bumpers, Body Kits, Hoods or the such lately?

I shipped a bird header panel and it was around 50 or something. The trunk lid, and 2 fenders I got freight shipped for $175 from Utah to NY. Shipping is going to go up because of the oil pumping into the gulf.  Already went up 10 cents a gallon here.

Some people use Greyhound to ship that sort of stuff.
