Does anybody with experience with shipping a front bumper lip or similar items that big?
I see people selling bumpers and skirts etc for 100-150 shipped sometimes but all the shipping quotes I get are like 90-120ish. And that makes me loose my "customer" and people back down. I know when I was looking to buy one last year or before, some guy was shipping it to me for 54. Any advice? -------------------- For Sale:OEM tail lights - make offer

Greyhound is the cheapest. I've personally never done it, but from what I hear they ship it on a bus, then the person can pick it up at the nearest terminal.
