Ok I have some big items i need to sell, and was wondering whats the cheapest.. UPS, Post Office, Fed Ex?

I have a frame, sub frame, swingarm , and plastics to sell.

First off I'm going to use that big bubble wrap on all those items no boxes... I know thats a cheaper way, just wondering about who to send it with.... thanks.

Sorry babybro but you didnt ship all of htose parts out to Cali when John needed them... the cheapest place around here is Fed Ex and they will even come to your house and pick the package up and only charge you 3 bucks... hell i would have wasted more then 3 bucks in gas to drive it to the place so it was worth it.

FedEx ground is usually the cheapest

log on to UPS and Fed Ex's website. They will quote you rates right on there.

Well I went to UPS and they wanted $110 to ship the frame. And $110 to ship the rear plastics. and $23 to ship the fronts. That doesnt include the price of the boxes.:eek:

So I went to the reg. Post Office and they wanted $25 for the frame. and $6 to ship each plastic. Still that price doesn't include boxes but, thats a huge difference. I'm gonna try and check Fed Ex today .

My dad works for UPS and we still don't get a discount....not only that but we don't have UPS ground here...so everything has to be 2nd day aired, which costs a **** load:eek2: Your best bet would probably be just regular priority mail, it may take longer, but it will save you a lot of money;)
