I recently sold a set of seats to Rick 918 S and FedEx wanted $140 to ship them to Duluth, MN. Greyhound charged me $67.05 and that included insurance. Rick got his seats in four days and claims they arrived in good condition.

Hope this helps

I use them for transmissions. It is a lower cost alternative. And while I have nothing but good experience so far, they are not a shipping company. You don't get all of the bells and whistles such as online tracking as you would get at FedEx.

It helps when you ship via them to see if they can figure a route that will result in as few of bus changes as possible. Each change requires someone at each station to unload/load whatever you are shipping. If you get a pretty direct route there is less chance of something going wrong.

Just received a set of seats shipped greyhound from NY to California,they are cheaper, but be sure to package the items well, they are not kind to packages at all, my box was pretty mangled. Fortunately they were packed well and the only damage was two broken adjuster loops.

Happy shipping,
Jeff
