I have an L-sportline bumper that's been sitting here for months and I need to ship it out.
Buyer's friend never came by to pick it up for him and he has no other source.

Any recommendations for shipping out a bumper without the possibility of these shippers damaging it? I hate shipping out big items, esp. something this big

I know the greyhound might be a possibility

I don't have time to build a crate also

 

You can either go to Costco or any major warehouse and find plenty of boxes. Also go to Craigslist in your local "free" section. Lots of people are just giving away moving boxes just sitting around.

 

Awesome, thanks PushinLEX

 

Your Welcome

 

Last time I helped someone ship out a bumper we got one from a bodyshop.
In fact, all my boxes are recycled from bodyshop or parts department and say "Toyota Genuine Parts" on them. lol

 

^^ yupe me too.....i shipped bumper once using "Toyota" box that I found from bodyshop next door. they threw away the box outside their door...

and i shipped it w/ FedEx for $95 to East coast

 

Thank you Liz and masboy for the tip. I guess I'll scour the body shop for boxes.
While I'm at it, I guess I can ask for a paint quote

 

When I use to work at CARisma back in the day, we got our boxes from our local packaging store... Try looking one up in the yellow pages... They should only be a couple of dollars each...

 

if you need, i just got a front bumper shipped down here and i need to get rid of the box if you want it.

located in Diamond Bar

let me know!

 

dang so shipping is a 100 bucks?

 

I appreciate that. I miiiiight be heading in that direction on Friday but won't know for sure. I'm down here in the FV area.

I hate to have you hold it and take up space.
I'm going to check on 2 body shops close to me tomorrow and will let you know

And thanks for the tip RX729
