How far are you shipping them? I'm driving up to Santa Barbara tomorrow and have friends that do it biweekly if that helps you at all.

USPS parcel post is the best way to go. Ive sent several large packages including late model bumpers for about 30 bucks

whaaa i checked the online thing and it said it was too large

only has limits for "first class" which is the cheapest route. you would need to go in person to get the best deal. Online the limit is 14oz heavy. No limit in person. Also sometimes if you ship express (overnight) it can be cheaper because i think they dont use weight to calculate the price only size. so if its super heavy sometimes is better to go express.

Oh awesome good to know I just thought that the USPS had a size or weight limit I'm guessing I can ship a short block through them though XD

A bumper is way too big for USPS. They won't accept it, trust me I had tried it before. USPS website is very easy to work with, you are not limited on their website. It is cheaper to print your own label online. I had shipped many parts that weighted more than what I have paid and none have yet returned. I don't think they even check when you print your own label and drop it at the front desk. All they do is scan it with their scanner and drop it in their cart.

Also, do not go with usps express unless it is paid for because it is expensive. If you are shipping within CA, the cost between priority and parcel are almost the same price. Sometime priority is even cheaper than parcel.

It's got to be under 108" length plus girth. If you carefully read the website and then wrap the items with care then you should be able to ship them.

It's cheaper if you measure accurately and print the label, then you just drop them off.
