I'm lookking to ship some parts, a bench seat and a gas tank west from the chicagoland area. Anybody have any suggestions as to what company to use? Trying to help out a fellow member here. The price I was quoted for frieght was obscene. Anybody have a car getting shipped that way? maybe you have room for a pallet that would way less than 100lbs.

Brian,

You might try Greyhound, I had some fenders shipped to me and they were fairly reasonable. Also DHL is said to be a lower cost shipper of large items. As a last resort you could contact an independant trucker that makes regular west coast runs and see if he could help you out. Hope this helps you a little.

Gotta agree with Al, FairPricedShipping.com can ship just about any way you want and will ship anything but a car. Great options and great folks to deal with. And they are insured and experienced. They can ship so many different ways it would amaze you and the price is very reasonable!

Check to see if there is a parts store or business your buyer uses reguarly. Set up delivery there, shipping might be cheaper. I had this done with a set fenders from OR. shipping was real reasonable.

Try Uship.com. It works like Ebay. You post what you want to ship and companies bid. I shipped an engine from Houston to Savannah for $185.00.
