hey, i need to ship out a full front bumper that i recently sold, but the place in my town that ships out via UPS,FedEx, and DHL said the package is too big so they cant do it...They said to try a company like Roadway or somtin but they gave me an estimate of $271 which is too much....i see ppl on ebay putting shipping costs of bumpers for like $100-150 so there has to be another cheaper and effective way of shippin it....anyone know??

thanks

Just have dimensions/weight of your crate and go to the bus depot they'll give you a quote.

That is correct, word to the wise....have the person picking it up to inspect it THERE - AT THE BUS DEPOT - any claim must begin at that point, if they take it home then discover damage...well you can imagine the headaches.

it wont be shipped directly to the buyers home..right?

Nope, Greyhound wont deliver

Hope this helps. You also may try taking it directly to UPS or FedEx or ABX location, rather than a shipping store, they may be able to help you. But unless you have a friend in the biz to hook you up with a discount, they will charge you thru the nose.

Another option is AMTRAK (railroad), if there is one near you and one near to the person who has to pick it up. I shipped a front bumper via them many years ago.

I received an AMG stock front bumper shipped by Fedex. I was shipped as an oversized item.
