What's the cheapest way to ship a large bumper?

It is an oem bumper and flexs so I rather not put it in a box. It is over sized and being shipped in the U.S. What are my options? I am looking for the cheapest shipping method. Time is not an issue

Depends on where it is going, but surprisingly Greyhound is fairly cheap and Ive heard good things. Ive shipped lip kits and things like that out, and those have costed me a pretty penny with Fedex/UPS. I wont do them for anymore big stuff. Another major shipper to check out is DHL.


Damn ninjad me ^. Yea it is fairly reasonable. Only thing that sucks with Greyhound is sometimes limited routes.

How does that work though? Do they have to pick up the package from the Grey Hound station or does it go straight to them?

Greyhound is awesome. They will have to pick up the bumper at a station though. I shipped an entire kit for about $100 from CA to TX.

Needs to be picked up at the grey hound station. I did it with some recaro seats, best price compared to ups and fedex.

When I got the bumper I purchased for my build (and didn't use) they shipped it UPS and they just bubble wrapped it and then clear wrapped it and put a label on it...

Agi... if my car was big enuff, I would have drove it up for you... or just rent a U-Haul van for $25 and drive it up... (Call Angel)...
