Pappy someone help, i sold a frame and ups wants $134 shipped one way??? Doesn't matter if boxed or shrink wraped. I have shipped frames to people not even that round trip. Hell I shipped a quad to my kid in fla. fully loaded for $250. Am I doing something wrong???

i know even a inch effects $60-$100 in cost, i literally trimmed 2 inches off the front and 1 off the top of the box and the cost dropped from $89 down to $46

Make sure you remove the subframe if possible to shorten the length. Makes a big difference!

yea DHL is the best for shipping a frame hands down, i think my 250r frame was around $55 or so, and thats only because the subframe cant be removed, you should be able to ship a frame for under $40 with removable subframe easily
