Best way to ship OEM Exhaust??

[tosugrad]

Guys and Gals,

After a horrible experience shipping 4 OEM wheels/tires, I am wondering the best way to ship the OEM Exhaust. I am thinking just taking it to Mail Boxes Etc (Now the UPS Store) would be best. They will pack it up, find a box, and ship it out. However, I am estimating this to be close to $200 for a Chicago to PA ship.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Snide remarks?

Thanks!

get a big box, foamy stuff, wrap it and it should cost you about $50-100.. that's a big range cuz sometimes when i ship stuff price changes most of the time. don't know why..

Mail Boxes Etc (Now the UPS Store) <---- Exactly who I went thru to ship my tires. Cost me an arm and a leg. And they didn't box, wrap, anything. Just my $.02.

Come on guys! WHO has shipped an Exhaust before? When you buy one from Comptech, how does it arrive? An answer of "put it in a box and send it out" is easier said than done. I cant seem to find a box that this will fit it.

Send it through a Grayhound bus terminal. Takes up to a day/state, but I bet it will cost about $50 to get it there. They'll insure it, too.

Best regards,

Fed-Ex Ground is my fave - I shipped an exhasut from CA to TX & it was $48 if I remember correctly. They are typically 1/2 - 2/3 of UPS ground across the board.
Biggest pain was packing it - I went to box world & got two 24 x 24 x 24 (they may have 20 x 20 x?) boxes & spliced them into one box.

I used Fed Ex ground to ship four wheels/tires and they damaged ALL FOUR even though they were wrapped secure like you have never seen. The claims process is such a CROCK that we decided not to go thru with it. They have to pick up the wheels, send them BACK to me and then have me file a claim and then send them BACK to the recipient.

I sold an exhaust before and I shipped it using U.P.S. ground. Wrapped the exhaust in bubble wrap and filled the box with foam bubbles. Worked out just fine.

Ended up taking it to UPS Store. They packed it up ($55) and then shipped for an additional $105. Its expensive, but after packing four wheels full with bubble wrap and having them all damaged by FedEx, I thought I would give UPS a turn.

All of the aftermarket exhausts I've recieved,by ups ,were bubble wrapped and placed in boxes with the foamy little guys.Never had a problem with damage.Make sure the tips have extra wrapping,cause thats how the manuf. ship them.
