trying to ship a clip - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #80456 8 posts Started by DiP203
So i have a curren clip that i am selling but have a bit of a snag and dont know how i am going to get it shipped across the country, I tried getting a quote from ups.com but it came out to be close to $1700 to ship it.
that seems a bit high to me, if anyone has any experience in shipping large items can you please point me in the right direction.
greyhound. it's probably $40 per piece. cheapest place so far.
i hear greyhound is cheap for large items. also look into actual freight rather than standard shipping

that was freight shipping that i looked at but i may have messed something up
Yes, you can ship hoods.
set up account with Fedex Freight and first shipment they usually give you a huge
discount. Will need to put on a pallet,secure and i would wrap as well..

might try them as well http://www.freightcenter.com/

Any other way of shipping is a waste of time for this large stuff.

Mine was shipped from FL to SC. It was shipped on a pallet from a shop down there. I think it was $175-$200. Try FedEx I'm pretty sure that's what the shopped used. I shipped a S30 Z quater panel for dirt cheap and that thing was huge. If it's across the country, you might be looking at $250-$350.
