Tailgates & usps shipping

[ashx2]

Okay, I'm sure I'm not the first to try and figure out how much shipping a tailgate is going to cost......so for those that have actually done it.......what was the damage to the wallet?

I've checked w/UPS....$108-$110 USPS (as best I can figure...) $37.35 for Priority Mail, $184.10 for Express Mail, $28.11 for Parcel Post.

UPS is a little high priced I think.

Parcel Post is out of the question, cause who knows when it'd actually arrive and in what condition it would be.

Express Mail is outrageously priced, so the winner sounds like it is going to be Priority Mail.

I rated the tailgate/pkging @ 50lbs. Sizing it @ 70"x10"x25.

Can somebody share their experiences w/shipping such an item???

Thanks,
Greg
