Who's the cheapest to ship big parts?
Does anyone know the best and cheapest way to ship big stuff? i.e, bucket seats.

Re: Who's the cheapest to ship big parts?
I always use Fedex! I shipped a tailgate a while ago, and I paid only $43.
But the bad thing is that prices always vary in shipping. Its never a setup price. |

Re: Who's the cheapest to ship big parts?
Thanks - I'll check 'em. We have regular freight trucks going out of my work, and I'm pretty sure they'd ship, but don't know how long or how much.

DHL by far for normal shippers.
Shipped a 50 pound tool box from here to Ga... cost like 19 bucks if I remember right... a tilt column from here to Illinois, was there in 12 hrs, and cost 8 bucks. |

Re: Who's the cheapest to ship big parts?
myself, im less concerend with the actual cost of the shipping, and more fearful of the fabled condition that the panels arrive in. if they arrive just as dinged up as the ones on my truck now... then whats the point (at least, this what i lay awake at night and think of as i stare off into the blackness...)

Re: Who's the cheapest to ship big parts?
Ditto on DHL ,there great . Greyhound works well also . I like UPS for small items that need tracking.

Re: Who's the cheapest to ship big parts?
I wouldn't give UPS a box of dung to ship... they have damaged most everything they have ever delivered to me, or for me. DHL is doing a perfect job so far.
