Anyone have experience shipping exhausts?

There are two pieces about 1m long each. Weighs about 23lbs total pictured below.



Has anyone shipped exhaust like this before to the states? Do you remember how much it cost you and also did you ship it to East side or West side? I'm curious as to the price for both. Also, will it be a lot cheaper to drive to Point Roberts and ship from there?

TIA

I actually shipped a stock civic exhaust to Florida once. it cost me $40us and I went to Blaine to ship it. You save a whole lot of cash if it doesn't have to cross the boarder.

Try Greyhound. I guess you can head down and sent it off down at the Bellingham bus depot.

That is probably the cheapest option.

Greddy Ti-C for an S13.




Cardboarded every edge, flange, and corner. Including hangers. Then wrapped in Bubble Wrap.

$40 to ship to Florida from Point Roberts.
$10 for the roll of bubble wrap

He paid asking price. Otherwise I would've just wrapped it, and only padded the hangers.

edit:
Go on the USPS/Fedex/whatever site.
You can measure the box your exhaust is going in, and see how much it'll cost.
Or you can buy one of thier parcel boxes.

All you need is Location/addresses. Ie Your Post Office to his Post Office.

bump. So where do you guys pickup cardboard boxes for exhausts from? Do shops like AJ racing give them away?

I ended up cutting the card boxes and wrapping them around the exhaust because I couldn't find the box in right size. I called A&J and they had huge boxes for storing bumpers but unfortunately did not have any box that fits exhaust.
