:nod Yup. Wrap/crate it and they load it into the belly of a 737 and fly to terminal of choice. Buyer then goes and picks it up from that terminal. Saves hundreds on pickup/delivery and fuel surcharges.

The block will probably be to heavy and the dash to big for greyhound. Regardless its gonna cost money. Get a wooden pallet. Get a size and weight. Wrap it all up with Almost tape(aka Pallet wrap) and shop around at some freight compnaies. Fed Ex Freight, Mobile Air Transport, UPS Frieght and some others by the airport you should check out. I would see it def. being over $200.

If you are shipping out of the area UPS and Fed ex use 18 wheelers, the 18 wheelers deliver them to a hub, the packages are then sorted and the local ones are loaded into the box delivery trucks.

the dash should go JUUUUUUUUUST fine. ive shipped a whole body kit via greyhound. the box was bigger than I am. it was like a fridge. the logistics services take it by size. they obv weight it, but its like, they got this formula. they measure it and it gives them a number, then weigh it and use the two numbers to calculate shipping. it can just be huge and light and it goes by size, but if its retardedly heavy then it goes by weight. he’ll be able to get a definite number once its actually packed up. that way hes got weight and dimensions to give to companies for a quote
