I have seen here and there people listing that for the larger items they are willing to ship it through Greyhound.
Can someone please explain how the system works and if they have had good experiences using it. I never knew this existed so all info would be helpful. Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

I guess it all depends on WHAT you need shipped. Large items may be worth it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
I priced a set of 4 tires and wheels from San Jose to Long Beach mid-2012 and their lowest cost was ridiculously expensive, PLUS, they couldn't even guarantee when it would ship or arrive here. I wasn't prepared to camp out at the GH terminal and wait for them to show up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) FedEx Ground was less than half the cost! |

Most cities where Greyhound drops off will have a freight office where you can pick up the shipment. You get a tracking number and they call you when it arrives. I had a dash pad shipped in GH and it was about half of what it would have cost by other methods. |
