What is the best way to ship a bumper cover? 33801 is the zip in Fl. to 12070. 66"X24"X24" 25lbs.
They place said it was $155 from the people they use all the time. If you look online you can get the same bumper cover shipped from CA fro $65. WTF carrier are they using?
I put the info into UPS and got $165 to ship the cover to me from FL.
whats the best way to ship a bumper cover?

I use Forward Air just behind Albany International. Ship freight through them constantly. Bumper shouldn’t cost more than $50-$60. I ship entire rebuilt motors for $155…

A lot of companies charge flat rates for shipping, also take into consideration just because it only weighs 25lbs your paying for dimensional weight if its more then the actual weight which is 196lbs for a box of that size…look for a freight forwarder if you can.

yeah I got trannys and big ass wheels tires shipped to me on a pallet cheap too, but unless they stand up the bumper cover on a pallet, its retarded how much it is to ship a fucking box.
I have to look for a forwarding co near the seller that comes close to here for me to pick it up i guess.
what a pain in the ass, i guess i will just eat the $155 and call it a day. wtf.
