Best way to ship out Bumper??
 

So, i need to ship out the Amuse rear bumper from Maryland to California. How do i go about doing this?? would it best to go through USPS? FED EX? UPS? or like a driving company of some sort? Theres no box to fit this bumper.... its just so damn big lol

i've heard of using greyhound but i dont think that's a safe route... IF anyone has done this before, please let me know!!

maybe a moving service to box it and ship it fedex freight in a crate or pallet?

My experience revolving around shipping a Stillen fascia was this... Don't bother trying.

Find a local buyer or someone willing to drive to get it. For those of you with a Prius DD that were wondering, it will fit in the back of the car for sure.

So yeah... find a local buyer. Takes much longer going that route but you never know when someone will pop up out of nowhere and drive eight hours to snatch it up. Good luck.

FedEx freight would cost equal to or more than the bumper. I've looked into that too. I was quoted $380 to go four states over. Going to Cali? ****. Hell no.

Both bumpers I had shipped to me via Greyhound, broke. I would suggest not using them.

Thats crazy. Is it by weight or total size of the item? I had 4 wheels/tires shipped to me from VA. I think the seller said it was about $100 for UPS ground or something like that. 4 wheels/tires def weigh more than a bumper.

u have to pay to play.

u can also wait for a new one to come from japan.

yeah it wasn't weight. the thing was so damn light. it was the shear size of it and it can't be stacked on anything and nothing can be stacked on it. So you are essentially paying for a pallet-sized square from floor to ceiling. That's a lot of loot. And like kenchan said, you gotta pay to play.

yep, it's called chargeable weight. it's going by volume vs actual weight.

Maybe OP can build a crate? Or build a wood frame to fit inside the box? that way it can be stacked and will subsequently cost less to ship?

Once you exceed ~80-100 inches in the longest dimension, price skyrockets regardless of weight. Even if it's boxed and you can stack stuff on it, the price will be expensive.

maybe place a few people inside for a cheap fee... :ugh:

lol ship it via Greyhound tied to a person that can keep an eye on it
