IX Bumper Ship

I'm trying to ship an IX front bumper, I think I'll shrink/bubble wrap it and send it via UPS, but im just not sure! Any suggestions on a cost efficient alternative? Also, does anyone happen to know the dimensions of an Evo IX front bumper, I lost my tape measure

thanks in advance everyone,

-Chris

Just take it to UPS/FedEx and they will have the right packaging and material to get it sent out safely.

Cost you an arm and leg if you let them do that. I ship some poster out for work and they charge my company 100 bucks to make a couple of shoudy boxes. Go to a office supply store buy a roll of buble wrap or two and wrap the heck out of it I would also use cling wrap to scure the bubble wrap and tape the ends. Then just call around to freight companies I used Fedex freight last time I shipped one don't know how much it cost but they picked it up from my house.

OK i just shipped my evo 8 front bumper to a member on here cost me 61 dollars greyhound from lousiana to Maryland i bought two boxes from the Uhaul supply store then i cut the box to fit. I just used computer paper to tape the ends of the bumper up did not waste bubble wrap. put it in my made box and shipped it. size was 71 x 24.5 x 23.5. the greyhound lady could not measure and came up with 69 lol dont really care but there you go. Fedex freight wanted to charge me 647 dollars to ship it stupid if its past 70 inches long as they said its going to be 500 and up unless your shipping to business dont even think about ups or usps just do it greyhound and be happy.

Shipping anything big with UPS or Fedex is a JOKE! I will agree with that
