    i need to ship a bumper to Illinois and after looking at DHL, UPS, and Fedex the cheapest rate i can find is 130. are there any special couriers that anyone knows of who can ship a large package for less?

    How large? I think I used Forward Air or something like that to ship a shifter kart and the whole thing was on two pallets that were nailed together and boxed. It cost me 110.00 at the time.

    Speedee. Stop in at Lexus Of Wayzata while I'm working with it all packaged nicely and I'll get you a quote. Its usually about half what UPS does. Especially with oversized stuff.

    IF its in the delivery area. http://www.speedeedelivery.com/

    I've shipped about 4 bumpers to east/west coast, Fed-Ex is the cheapest for drop-off to residential delivery for a person without a business account. otherwise greyhound is good if they'll work with you.

    They've only lost one package in a whole year of us doing business. And it was a tiny little thing of touch up paint. 4 bucks, no big deal.
