would like to hear opinions on shipping larger, bulky items(fenders/valances/hoods) via greyhound. Im having an item(valance) shipped to me and turns out that the regular shipping outlets are too much. greyhound quick quote is only $72.

I've had wheels shipped to me this way, they got to me unharmed but I wouldn't expect anybody to handle them with care.
Then again I don't expect UPS/Fedex/USPS to handle anything I give them with care either, so meh. -
my dad's done it with his stand up bass, worked great.

I've had a set of F/R bumpers and a valance shipped to me... No problems as long as your not in a hurry to get them.
Plus the idea of them sitting next to an old lady on the bus made me laugh (i know they store them elsewhere).sigpicComment

i actually had someone suggest this to me as well, i am probably going to try it soon. fedex, ups and usps wants way too damn much for shipping on bigger items.

From a package security aspect it’s terrible. I wouldn’t use it for anything rare or valuable. I did have a pair of sport seats shipped to me with no problem.Steve

If it's packaged properly, unless they run it over it'll be fine.. it's a valance.. it goes on the back of an automobile. I'm hoping it can handle being in a box.Comment

from a price point of view, it seems to be perfect on bigger items. this same valance was $140 for shipping using other shippers. haven't heard back from he seller yet, but I hope it works out.I have heard of people shipping transmissions using greyhound and getting great costs on itComment

I would use Greyhound more if I didn't have to fight off the crackheads, meth addicts, insane homeless people, etc. just to get in the door.Comment
