WahooSteeler Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 does anyone know how to get a shipping quote through Greyhound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Walk in and ask for one? With either the size and weight of the item, or the item itself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfpdm Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Go to there website here. http://www.shipgreyhound.com/ Fill in the blocks. The only drawback is that you need to be close to one that ships and the destination needs to be able to recieve. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasbulliwagen Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 The last time I took a Greyhound, they lost my bag, and when I got it back they had rifled through it and took whatever they wanted and even added stuff to my bag that wasnt mine! I made a claim with them for it, but they just sent me a letter in the mail saying you can't prove anything, Fork You! Theyll never see another penny from me! :fs1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfpackjeeper Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 my buddy swears that the palletized motor someone sent him through greyhound arrived 2 weeks late. And that someone took a deuce on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfpdm Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 my buddy swears that the palletized motor someone sent him through greyhound arrived 2 weeks late. And that someone took a deuce on it... That's odd. You sure it was greyhound? Reason being, a motor would be way over their weight and size limitations.

mjeff87 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 If it's just a stock bumper, I shipped my old one (MJ rear) via UPS to Texas, and it only cost about $40..... Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff S10 chrome :banana: Guy gave me dimensions and weight, @$65-70 from Boise to Da Boro according to fedex.com. $72 each from UPS and The Dogtrack's Belly Box. If he'll do it for $125 shipped I'll probably pull the trigger. All the yards on car-part.com quoting $200 plus for a good one. Still waiting on pics but he says it's straight and clean. Was in a storage facility so seems like he's not worried about making a bunch of money on it since he's only asking $75. :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was also a bare, aluminum Lsx block from another guy's project car, so even then it may have been light enough to pass. The whole motor just breaks 300lbs, so just the block may be light enough. However, I have also heard stories of people shipping axle assemblies cross country this way. So who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
