I said this on another post recently but here we go again.... it all depends on LOCATION. I've tried and I've tried to ship some stuff by Greyhound and they either won't ship it...or they are outrageously high.
About a month ago I tried to ship a set of 37 pickup running boards from S.C. to Pa. Greyhound wanted $75 so I went to Fed-X and shipped them for $29 to the guys front door.
..around here in my hometown, I believe Fed-X wins the race. They always give me super service and my rates are good. However, I've had some Bolters tell me that Fed-X stinks in their location. Either way I hate UPS. Half the package's I receive are damaged in some way and when they are 1 out of 4 end up in a claim.
....in the end, if it works for you them thats what I'd use.
EDIT: and yes, the service at the Greyhound station is some of the worst I've seen or put up with and I put up with it to try save a Bolter a buck. In the end I spent about 10 bucks on gas running here and running there. Fed-X for me from now on.... and if you have an account with FedX it is less expensive. A recnt package would regularly cost $38 but since I have an account it was $32....a savings I pass on to those I ship parts to. And if I can ship it to a business address its even less costly.
