Shipping how to? (1 Viewer)

[chicago]

So Im trying to sell my FJ40 fenders and need to know how to get an estimate on shipping them to various zip codes.
Anyone know HOW and WHERE I can do this?

Is this something that can be done ON LINE or do I physically HAVE to bring them down to the shipper?

Thanks for any info.

Many carriers have estimators on their website. I've used the UPS estimator before for package service. Go to ups.com and click on "Calculate Time & Costs".

Look for some "freight" services to bring the prices down. "package" services are quite expensive for large and/or heaving boxes.

Keith, there are a number of these auction shipping type services out there. It takes a little time but essentially they are looking for a trucker going to where you need your, in this example, fenders shipped and have a little space to fill on their trucks. They will typically do it for less since its essentially a bonus to them.

It may sound simplistic but I just hauled what I was shipping down to the Fed-X office and ask.

You can do the same at the UPS store down by Smiths.

I've been finding that Fed-X ground has better rates than UPS on pretty anything you want to ship.

Greyhound them. It seems to be super popular and cheap. Georg E. does it pretty often.

FedEx has been the better pricing between the two in my experience as well.

What is this about?!

BTW...I may have sold them to a guy in Redding who will pick them up.

TUBE FENDERS!!!!!

Call Greyhound and ask them about sending a large item to the Greyhound terminal in the buyers town. From what I've heard it's pretty cheap...maybe the cost of an actual bus ticket.


Or send Orange45 a p.m. asking for the specifics. I know quite a few guys have or used to do it.
