Does anyone know how to ship a front bumper for a Gen3 Teg from CA to CO? The guy I want to buy it from says UPS, FedEx, USPS, etc say it's too big. But, I know people have shipped bumpers before and without paying insane shipping costs. Does anyone know how? Thanks

 

i just sold a front bumper here on HT. i bought the boxes at box city in pasadena, it was 10 for each, and you need two. also i shipped it with greyhound. it was 40 bucks. with insurance. go to their website and check the specification i think it can be over 60-70 in long. you can get a free quote also.

 

I do the same thing too. You also get a discount if you're a student.

 

what about mailboxes etc?

 

Since they use Fedex or UPS, the box size is way beyond their stated limits (130" total circumference).

 

i hate mailboxes etc, they rip you off, they charge WAY too much, many times i find out that they double the price of ups, and fedex, and they use their service, i say skip the middle man(MB, etc) and go either to ups, fedex, or if worst comes to worst, usps. of course i men for average sized packages.

 

Here's what ive done, wrap it up in a styrophome sheet, then bubble wrap in triplicate then finally a clear wrap, sorta like the kind you use for sandwiches. attach the shipping documenst to the bundle, voila.

I had to ship a poly urethane bumper so its flexy. If youre sending a plexiglass bumper, a box may be in order as they tend to crack under pressure and are less durable for shipping.

 

Defintiely try Greyhound...supercheap, and student discounts!

MBE would be VERY expensive, I assume.

 

to MBE

Don't make the same mistake I did. Cost me so much I don't even wanna talk about it

 

they have insane mark ups and they use UPS, Fed Ex, DHL, etc... so you might as well go straight to those... I guess thats why my friends mom drives an S500.. they own a place thats like Mail Boxes Etc...

 

Definetly go with Greyhound. I got my full body kit postage due, and it was front bumper, back bumper, and 2 side skirts packaged together. Altogether 3 pretty lengthy packages for about $60. I plan to get rid of the kit via Greyhound too.

 

Greyhound as in the bus company?

 

Yup.
