[Mike1981]

Hello

I have a large box to ship my fiberglass flares in

40x24x24 from MI to CA

20 LBS

UPS wants 270 Owch
FedEx wants 215 Owch

Any suggestions to an alternate source?

Thanks

Mike

I bought fenders for my Datsun 240Z from eBay. They were shipped from Seattle to Atlanta via Greyhound Package Express for $175 (2 complete front fenders = really big box). Sounds great, right....?

But it's now been over a month. I started to get worried week or two ago, called the sender, spoke with the sending depot. They have no way to track other than "try calling every depot along the route" (really???!!!???) and told me that big items often get bumped from buses because they only ship stuff that fits once all passenger luggage has been loaded and "big items often sit around for days" waiting for a bus. Last I heard the fenders were heading for Nashville. I'm assuming they're going to make it, but man I would only ship Greyhound as an absolute last resort....
