My advice is to take your "please help" out of your title. Refer to the posting guidelines for further details, I don't want to see you get your topic locked up, if that happens, you won't get any help...

my title is not merely comprised of the phrase "please help," it goes into further detail.

hmm try goin to the post office.. I see people shipping big things like that there all the time.

 

[Gensavestheday]

and that whole UPS wont ship it thing is a bunch of B.S becuz My dad just ordered a bunch a bumper for his car and it was shipped thru UPS

 

[tboneGSR]

yea it seemed weird to me. do u remember how those bumpers your dad bought were packaged and how big?

just take it to ups and see how much they will charge.

no...omg..ship it using grey hound!! they charged me 40$ for a whole GFX kit!! UPS was gonna charge me 200$ and on an airport it was gonan be 120$ so find a local greyhound..they will even call thep erson when the package arrives!

....yeah that's what where in the process of doing right now....shipping greyhound from SF to SLC.

UPS will ship it it just needs to be in an oversized box, and you will pay for dimentional weight as opposed to actual weight. Ask about freight shipping, Mailbox's ETC should have mentioned that to you, bad service. Try airborn express too.

Greyhound. It is fast and cheap.

You people use rip off shippers. I paid 9 dollars to ship back a defective OEM side skirt from Cleveland to KC. UPS. Mail boxes etc is a RIP OFF. Go to the place where the UPS trucks are at, or fed ex, etc. If you go to someone else, 50%+ of what you pay is goin into their pocket. It only cost me 75 bux to ship 4 rims and tires across the country- so there is no reason it should be $200 for a 10 pound bumper. Don't mean to be rude, but think- they hire a 5 buck an hour dude at MBE and there is no way he knows what all UPS ships. (They ship CT scanners for where I work around the world, and a bumper is way less)

its not only the weight, but the size too

Wow I didn't know you could use greyhound to ship things. Do you have to pick the packages up at a Greyhound Station?

 

[sproket13]

ya..they will call the person, my GFX went from FL to WA in 4 days!! craziness and it only cost 40$..so id say its the best shipping method out there!

 

[synacide]

wow.. i went into a UPS location where all the trucks are with a black widow rear bumper ready to be shipped.. im filling out the forms and all of a sudden this guy comes out with a string and starts to measure this thing.. he is like its past 62 inches pr some crap like that.. and they cant take it here.. i got pissed and said man ima going to fed-x .. i took it to mailboxes etc. and the guy was nice and told me it would be packaged like oversized and cost me like $200 to ship.. im like wtf.. no way.. i walk out and put the bumper back in the garage.. who woudda figured it would be this much of a hassle.......

 

[integra_guy]

have u try out fedex are any other company beside UPS? i havea hard time with UPS always coming so late but fedex is always here ealyer then UPS for some reason are it might just be me , and also on ups site there a thing that you can even get the shipping rate and what time it might be too the person that your shipping it too also

You can use Staples to ship via UPS. They charge standard UPS fees, no extra charge like Mailbox Etc. Staples UPS center will accept oversize packages, plus Staples is usually closer than the UPS center.

 

[ExtremeGSRteg]

go up to ups. they will supply the box and give u a price

go greyhound or goto the airport... Greyhound has excellent service and are very cost effective.. the stored a package for me till I could go pick it up.. I ship full kits from CA to NY in 4 days for like 70$ ... or you could ship it freight, it's about 80% more expensive than greyhound but they deliver it to your door.
