I need to ship a hood. I'm sure it will be expensive. Any other shipping options that would be cheaper than UPS or FedEx? Thanx

A big plywood box. Ample cushioning. A shit pot of money no matter who the broker or shipper is. The loaders will hate the box.

We receive fiberglass and aluminum hoods all the time. Shipping isn’t crazy with the right carrier. It is worth making a wood frame like the way windshields are shipped. I would just lay a couple layers of cardboard on each side of the wood frame.

I know someone that tried shipping a hood via Greyhound.
He said they lost it and when they finally found it he claims
they wanted to charge him storage fees..
He told them to keep it and lost the hood...

I used greyhound for several really large packages and had luck.

I won't ship or receive by bus. No (reliable) tracking. Terminal is 30 minutes away. I have to go find parking. I have to carry heavy part to car. I have to deal with the bus people. I have to take drugs after dealing with the bus people. I have to drive home.

Did it once. Never again.

A wooden box in a paper box. What was the fare for that one to where?
