jinx44 Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 I sold a set of stock front fenders on ebay for $40. Shipping to CA from MO was $82 through fedex and $121 through UPS. I thought that was rediculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotton eyed Joe Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 plastic i just stretch wrap the shit out of it and slap a label on it .post office is like 20 bucks coast to coast. 331177[/snapback] Thats pretty much it. The one rule I heard about shipping a frame through UPS ($70) once is that it can't weigh more than 50 lbs, and it can't have any jagged edges hanging out that might injure someone. Mine came plain and unwrapped except the mounts for the fenders were wrapped in cardboard, and so were the head light mounts and the ends of the frame where the grab bar mounts.
