Default shipping a bodykit???

How would I go about packaging a Rear bumper and sideskirts to ship??? I can't find a box big enough, and I'm not sure if there's a size limit with the shippers. Also, can anyone recommend a shipping company?

just make sure you put it in the smallest box possible. if ups doesnt ship it, it will cost close to 200 dollars!

Dont put it in a box, wrap it in bubble wrap and drop it off at FedEx

Trust me. Me and soundwave just learned that.

However, if its a fiberglass kit, I would box it up.

Why? If its fiberglass - and it breaks, all you have to do is either file a FedEx claim or just mold it back together. Fiberglass isnt exactly like a hard talent to learn

One other thing you could do is bubble wrap it like everyone said, and also you can cut strips of cardboard and bend/wrap it around your stuff and tape it up.

Well to be completely honest, if it is fiberglass, do the buyer a favor and throw it in the trash.

haha, man i'm trying to make my money back. Yeah its all fiberglass pieces. If I do ship it out, I'll try the bubble wrap I just wasn't sure if they would accept a ghetto looking package. Thanks everyone!
