I am buying a tranny, and the seller encourages that he ships it Greyhound because it is so cheap. Money is something that I dont have much of, so is this a reliable way to go? Frieght is about 3 times expensive.

 

Wont UPS take the tranny?

 

my brother has had stuff shipped from Greyhound. Pretty reliable and good pricing.

If you want to ship something cheap, check out http://www.highwayfreight.com I shipped a full swap (engine, tranny axles etc) on a closed in pallet for a little over 100 from TX to Nebraska. Only took 4 days as well

 

Did they come pick it up from you house too?

UPS will take a tranny. We've sent out 4 transmission in the past couple of months with UPS, with "triple" sided boxes and lots of padding, weighing anywhere from 100-120 lbs (just need to slap an "Over 70lb" sticker on the box) and usually it costs $50-$70 via UPS ground, depending on the location.

 

Fedex ground will take a tranny also.

 

my brother shipped 2 powered leather seats and a front bumper for less than 100

 

i talked to Yellow Frieght (cause its local) and they want $120. And how often does a Greyhound go from Atlanta Ga, to northern Michigan. I think UPS or FedEX would be the best way to go. But I thought they had a 100lbs weight limit. This is a good 150lbs tranny.

 

IM integobsession on here, he sent his 01 front bumper, headlights, and turnsignals via Greyhound from SoCal to NY IIRC.

 

Yeah, Greyhound is great for shipping big stuff...................I have many times

 

Your biggest problem will be some of the neighborhoods that Greyhound is located in.

 

fedex and UPS both have 150lbs weight limits

You can ship bare blocks and vtec heads through ups and fedex.

Vtec head, complete is 100lbs

 

if Jessey James uses gray hound for his custom chopper fenders, then why not???? .02

 

ha ha, Im goin with FedEX. i thought UPS and Fedex had a 100lb limit but i guess its 150lb. It only costs $60, so itsmuch better than a $120 frieght co.
Thanks
