Any ideas?

Get ready for some sticker shock. I shipped a bellhousing UPS, and the price "impressed" me. Of course, it was packed in a wooden box headed for an overseas shipment. If Greyhound runs through your destination, that's the least expensive way to do it.

He might be better off just buying one locally at a swap meet or salvage yard? Wonder what a used one would run? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 899 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 899 | Once it's properly packaged and weighed, you can shop prices on-line for all carriers. One thing good about USPS is mail moves 24/7 and it get delivered on Sat. Hard part is the proper packaging but maybe your local FLAPS can give you ideas on that.

They always cost me $40-$45- bucks to ship. In a cut down box below their USPS size requirements they will ship parcel post, | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | .....I've shipped them a couple times lately and simply wrapped it with "saran wrap" to keep the size of the package down as Fed-X goes by size(Volume) as well as weight. I think I paid 32 to ship one from S.C. to Neb.
....Jerry, it really depends on THE Greyhound terminal. Locally, about a year ago, they would NOT ship a door for me from my location....AND, just a month ago Greyhound wanted $75 to ship a set of running boards for a 37 chevy pickup. I shipped them, from S.C. to Pa. by Fed-X for $29 bucks. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 67 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 67 | Split the difference and meet each other half way. It'd probably cost the same as shipping it and you get there for sure lol And it's only 100miles..that's not much of a drive.
