Hey guys, I'm having a problem.

A fella bought my hood, but I didn't know that its too large even for greyhound to ship. Anyone know of any way of shipping a hood from eastern PA to Ohio?

Cheers,
Jason

most likley truck freight only, will the guy meet you half way or something? If you end up freighting it make sure it is protected very well, if it passes the throw it on the road at 40 mph test its ok to ship.

I'm hoping the guy can meet me half way. He bought a lot of stuff from me (hood, fender, grill, head lights, hoses, backets, a few other goodies too) and i'm wondering if i refund some of his shipping cost if he'll meet me halfway and pick it up.

it's a royal pain in the ass, it needs to crated and sent on a freight truck, it may not be worth the expence to ship depending on the freight company/area it's going to and how much your selling it for. we don't ship body parts due to the hassle any more, i shipped a porsche fender once and the box got there but the fender didn't, that kinda **** gets old

Why not take it to Pak Mail... They'll crate it and guarantee delivery. Especially since your customer is paying for shipping.
