Default help finding a cheap ship company
Im trying to ship a front bumper to a buyer but the dimensions are to big for a regular ground Fedex/UPS shipping. They told me that that big of a box needs freight shipping but that is super expensive!...... Does anyone know of a company that can economically ship a box that is 72in.x33in.x22in. & wights about 15-20lbs.?

Truckers which do long hauls typically can bring something back for you if you want to. Not sure how much it costs, though. You'd have to check locally.

But it does need to fit in a bus under-floor storage bay. Greyhound uses MCI buses, and the storage bays in those are huge.
