Anyone who has, please chime in. I am trying to find out how to get shipping quotes on a bumper, and ultimately ship it, but it is too big for Fed Ex and UPS. How have you guys shipped them before? I received my new bumper through Greyhound, but when I tried to get a quote with the same dimensions, it said it was too big. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

plenty of people do it greyhound and that's the only really practical way. anything else is way too expensive.

 

greyhound they charged me loke 60 bucks to ship a bumper.. other places wanted outragious amounts of cash 180 just to ship it that excluded packaging it.. soo i suggest u make your own box.. i made of connected several of them i think it took 5 boxes to make a really big one =]

 

greyhound is cheapest. If that's not an option based on where the person lives, look at freight carriers. Just google search Freight shipping and you'll get plenty of options.

 

yesh Greyhound is the cheapest u better give them a call and see whats up.....

 

Greyhound is about the only option. What a pain to find something to ship it in. You're going to have to make your own packaging most likely.

 

I had mine shipped through UPS Freight. It only cost me $75 to have it shipped from Oklahoma to Colorado.

 

Here was the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...SA:MOTORS:1123

 

I would recommend checking out a appliance place for boxes. a big refrigerator box would work great.

 

Thanks. I already have a box from my new bumper, just need to find out how to get an online quote for those dimensions.

 

don't bother getting an online quote, just GO TO greyhound WITH the bumper. unless you have some weird box, it will fit, i just shipped one w/ them a few weeks back. it cost about $80 to go from Austin, TX to Ohio. it is the cheapest way, don't bother with the quote, i'd just showed up and did it.

fyi - my box was "3 inches short from their max dimension". so, if you're ballparking your estimate or if you're allowing for "extra" cushion on the longest side, that might be your problem...ghound DOES have a limit to the size, but i promise in a box just the right size, it will fit. you may just have to cut an end down on your current box or something...

The final price on my quote was slightly higher b/c the dimensions were slightly off
