okbeast Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Quote from UPS was $125 so I went to FedEx and asked how much it'd be to ship it if it was just shrink-wrapped and they told me right around $100. Now this is for the front and rear piece only. I'm like 2" over the regular limit so I keep getting hit with the oversize charge. I don't need these and wanna get rid of 'em but also want to get some $ out of it and not blow it all on shipping...any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trick2stroke Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Yeah shipping tires and frames and just large shit in general is a pain and expensive. They were going to charge me 40 bucks to ship some front tires priority so I downgraded it to parcel post and got the price down to 18. I had to do so because otherwise I would have just been loosing my ass on the sale. Live and learn I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FadedDreams Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 DHL was the cheapest for me when i had to ship a full set of Mojave fenders.UPS wanted $130 and DHL was $65.I've found that if your shipping bigger things like tires,wheels,stuff like that.DHL tends to be cheaper.I use the Post Office for the smaller stuff.

ClimbAnyHill Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I too found expensive quotes when I sold my white plastic. Hopefully you're selling shaved plastic so it fits into smaller boxes :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word. :thumbsup: That's what I have done in the past. Some bubble wrap around the edges is also nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
