When I sold my tires and wheels I used old glory freight. Was the cheapest price and everything worked out well. I strapped them to a pallet and they were picked up. It

THIS!!!!

I had a front bumper shipped from North Carolina to Florida. UPS and FedEx wanted $400+ with 5-7 days. Greyhound charged me $40 to throw it under one of their buses and it was in my hands 10 hours later.

How much more would they have charged to throw it INSIDE one of their buses? I've been thrown under the bus a couple of times and it wasn't very pleasant.

I still have the tread marks on my *** from the last time I was thrown under the bus.

Anyway,

I used greyhound to get me a used 5 speed transmission for my mustang and it cost $90 and I had it in 2 days. From CA to TX. Wasn't complaining because other options started at $200 and higher.

you will need specific sizes and weights of what you are shipping.

the bus is probably a great option as you can pick it up at a station. if you use a freight company they are going to charge more for residential and more for a lift gate. if you work at a shop with a fork lift you can get it sent there.

if you do go the bus route , will the seller load them up and drop them off at the bus station?
