According to USPS' website, $107 in one box. FedEx is $108... That's if I can fit those dimensions/weight... if I go bigger or have to use more than one box, it's a toss up... With packaging and everything I figure 50lbs. |

Everytime I've been shipped bodywork - it's been in a big ass box with either wood or foam to keep the corners square. You can get foam pretty cheaply at a craft store - think the stuff they make flower arrangements with. Put that on the corners of the bodywork so it doesn't have a chance of going through the box.

These two. I have sold lots of stuff over the last few years, including multiple sets of body work. USPS will be the cheapest unless you have a negotiated rate with another carrier. Race body work boxes work great for shipping a whole set. UPS stores will sell "artwork" boxes which work well for side/lower fairings as long as they don't have too much of a curve to them. Get creative. Placing a large panel diagonally can help you squeeze something big into a small(er) box. Pack it well and reinforce the corners and middle.

So.... a guy at work mentioned Greyhound... I'm like, 'the bus people?'
Apparently the bottoms of their buses are NEVER full because people traveling by bus usually don't have a lot of shit, I guess... They fill the bottoms and charge ridiculously low rates... and have ridiculous maximum dimensions (82"x47"x30"!)... I'm going to grab a couple of gaylords (the boxes) from our warehouse and build a fucking monster box to put this shit in... and save about $50 or so in shipping. BOO YA! Yeah, I said 'boo ya'...

Most large replacement body panels sold on eBay for cars (like bumper covers, and such) are shipped by dirty dog. I should have remember to tell ya. I just hate having to drive to the bus station to get my shit, so it's not my personal fav.

The Greyhound thing is pretty damn genius, though.
