Shipping bumper across Canada
I've searched.

I'm trying to get a quote to ship a set of bumpers across Canada. Vancouver to Montreal, but I'm getting stupid quotes for $400?

Size is:
L 72
W 38
H 21

Tried Greyhound, Purolator, UPS, DHL.

UPS came out to be the cheapest at $281, and it's thier maximum allowable size, it's not even the correct size of the bumpers.

CUTTING IS NOT AN OPTION. well. Not yet. I haven't convinced the fucker to have them cut.

Problem is: I'm selling the bumpers at $900obo which is already a deal considering it cost me Closer to $1500. I'm flexible as hell on the price.
Guy offers to buy it, but he lowballed the fuck out of me and I've already told him to fuck off last year, but now I just want it gone.

So anybody know who to go through with shipping?
Or.... anybody wanna but an AutoCouture Kit for an SC3/400/Soarer? $600.

edit: I think I posted it in the wrong forum. Move it to VAC if it needs to be.

greyhound is usually the cheapest, so I guess you are out of options.

If Canadapost accepts the size, open a VentureOne small business account under some random name like SpuGen Shower Curtains, you get quite a nice discount when you post large items. I sent 4 Brabus rims to London UK for about $510

have you considered intermodal transportation companies? something like a pair of bumpers shouldn't cost too much/hassle to ship.

walk your bumpers into a canada post store and they should take them for cheap. i sent a gtr bumper to ottawa for about 90$
