Yeah, I had a seat send to me once via the Greyhound bus which I thought was neat! It was so easy to drive by the station and walk to the office to pick it up. No hassle or anything like that.....and the cost was great...so cheap that I can't remember!
But when I sold my two other seats via ebay, I had a nightmare with the UPS store on how they measure and weight. I ended up with wrong shipping cost info at the first time and when I went back to drop the seats off, a different counterperson was there and wouldn't take it! It's all because these two different counterperson measure it differently! Talking about $125 bucks difference! I learned (and experienced) thru a friend from automotive repair shop that they have their shipping contract with a shipper which spells the shipping prices very different than for someone like you walking in the shipping store. I find that BAX and Forward Air are the one to work with. I have not send anything out thru Forward Air but have recieved my Audi sport seats which came in one piece. I'm not sure if you need a business account to work with Forward Air but I do find them price reasonable. BAX was the one that my friend set up for me to get rid of the ebay seat. They were good. hope this helps... j |
