I have to send out a bumper but I dont know the best route other than UPS and their bigass rates. Speed-dee doesnt deliver to where I am shipping otherwise they are easy and cheap. Looking for ideas on how to ship this out. Thank you:thumbsup

Greyhound is usually the best route for larger items that don't weigh all that much.....

Haven't heard otherwise but I could be wrong, it's been about a year or so since I personally used the service......

i WOULD NOT use greyhound!! never had any luck with those retards that work there. they lost one of my damn LT1 fenders. The people that work there are extremely stupid. (hope no one here works there. lol)

A fender I would worry about but not a bumper. I have had bumper shipped via Greyhound with zero issues.

No box. UPS is roughly $80. Bumpers are too big for USPS. Fedex might be a little cheaper.

Wrap it in plastic wrap first, then bubble wrap, then a final plastic wrap.

damm ups is expensive compared to greyhound. as long as they insure it, I dont care if it gets lost, he would get his money back and then some. gonna have to call fedex tomorrow to check their rates too. thanks so far!

i never got my money back. greyhound said it takes months for the paper work to process. Havnt heard anything from them in months:( sorry i just hate greyhound. The fact they can lose a front fender amazes me.

People on Zilvia always say greyhound for something like this.

I did ship a 240sx front lip once wrapped in cardboard and tape through Fed Ex. It was pretty awesome and it worked.
