Any recommendations for shipping body panels? - Lateral-g Forums

I have a trunk floor and some misc. sheetmetal that I need to have shipped to me from MS, I am in CA.. The dimensions he gave me are 50hx24dx50w at 125#`s. I am sure a good number of you have been in this boat before so I'm hoping someone can give me a point in the right direction. Obviously, I am looking for a good price as I am paying alot for the panels and the budget is quickly drying up for this...

Thank you !

I have used fed ex or fedex freight. If was $65 for complete set of gto seats from San Jose to Socal and $70 for front fenders from socal to tx.

Good idea Jason, I didn`t think about doing this. Hopefully someone will come in with a good idea

Any other ideas? I believe Fed Ex has been looked into already... I want to get this transaction taken care of and hope to get the shipper some ideas. All of the shipping companies around here are California specific and without being back east, I can't do alot other than look for options for him this way.

Thanks to all !

I've actually heard good things about Greyhound.......my understanding is that they actually take better care of the parts than UPS, Fedex, ect.

But I have never used them.

I used Greyhound to ship a hood.....to0k 6 weeks from NY to Oregon... they have no tracking system at all..... its based on a "space available" shipping....if they have room it goes on the bus...if they dont it waits at the terminal for the next bus that has room etc etc. My experiecne sucked...
