Tried all of the usual, Fedex $170.00, UPS even more, Greyhound was not bad at $70.00. Any other ideas? Buyer doesn't want to use Greyhound.
Anyone near Seattle going south to LA area anytime soon? Thanks, Tom |

gothspeed,
I tried that also but came up with estimate of $70.00 each for a package 62X12x14. So two packages was still $140.00 plus. I'm thinking companies that do lot of shipping get a much lower rate than the casual shipper. Can anyone confirm this? It sucks selling something for $250.00 and paying over half again that much in shipping costs. Thanks for the thoughts, Tom |

I have a 916 front & rear bumpers for sale also and had a few buyers until we figured in the shipping cost. The cheapest I found was Grayhound. |
