Bumper cover question

Hey guys, I hope it's ok to post this here. Figured it would be the most likely spot to get a response.

I am cleaning out the garage have some parts such as front and rear bumpers and bumper covers that I am trying to sell. But when I check on shipping (the only place close to me is a UPS Store) I get quoted some crazy shipping prices.

My question is for those of you that have sold say a rear bumper cover, how did you ship it (did you box it up) and how much should it cost? I am just trying to figure out if I have to make this stuff for local pickup only.

Thanks
Mike

See what GreyHound fees are.
In another site, that was how 1of the guys sent bulky but
light weight stuff.
There may possibly be someone willing to pay shipping if
the part(s) are in great condition.

Don't forget to insure or have buyer insure parts no matter
how they're sent.

Re: Bumper cover question

The thing about those parts is 1, they're bulky, which means less other heavier packages can't go with them, and 2, they're kind of heavy, both of which add up to higher fuel and loading costs. I'd shop around for any way possible to ship them as cheap as possible.
