$35 to ship a front hood from ND to TN, $42 to ship another from ND to TX, $100 to ship 4 wheels and F&R bumperpads from CA to ND, $37 to ship a compleat early backpad & seat from IL to ND, $25 to ship a rear window from ND to CA.............

Best way i have found to ship large items anywhere in the USA....the whole area between the wheels on a bus is cargo space.

I ship things from work. They get a good discount from either UPS or FedEx so it works out pretty good.

Bruce, thank you very much. i had a few folks interested in bumpers. i was concerned about a hassle of shipping(and price) . are they picky about packaging? or can you just slap a big sticker on it?

best to you

FYI, Greyhound does not ship door to door. The receiver must pick it up at the local greyhound station. Check their website for details.

Get some old cardboard boxes and cut them to wrap around any flat items like a bumper. Protect the edges. On the fiberglass hood I shipped I wrapped bubble wrap on the edges before wraping in cardboard.
