About $50 or less coast to coast
SInce this thread has been resurrected, I thought I should provide an update on the shipping. While tape and bubble wrap look sufficient, I decided to add some wood bracing, as you may have noticed in some of my photos. Despite that added measure, the bumper was apparently placed under other heavy objects by FedEx, resulting in the top corners being splayed outwards when received by Justatoy. Next time, I would tie the top corners together as well to prevent that from happening.

Stacy: Post a photo of the bumper now that it is mounted on your car, so everyone can see that my HUGE effort to help you was justified.

Besides its ability to carry a bumper, a cab can also carry more tires than you'd think. Here are two 315/25x19 PS2 tires being taken to UPS. Another wonderful thing about cabs: lots of carrying capacity.

So ....I had to give an update and some warning for Greyhound Package X-press....

I took to this wonderful idea and 'sold' an aero bumper on here to a fellow member of the forum.

Make a realllly long story short----THEY LOST IT WITH NO TRACKING DATA TO BE FOUND----

They also have a tarrif limit on lost items----they sent me a check for $100.00 for my $1000+ bumper?!@?$?%?%

I also had to refund the member the cost he paid!@#$%^

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE GREYHOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check E-Bay & Craig's List...there is Porsche Bumper up for sale!! It's obvious that either someone from Greyhound stole it or a passenger getting off said..oh..that's mine and took it. All of Greyhound's employee's are dumb that's why they work there!!

That sucks for you bro. Wish you could of gotten your money for the bumper back.
