[AMC-List] Shipping COSTS!!??

["William Renshaw" <lionwren@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Has anyone encountered the cost of shipping something?? I have someone who 
wants the grille off of this Matador that I am parting out. Last week I went 
to a local bodie shop and found this really bigassedbox. The gille fit and 
so did all the rest of the parts this guy wants to purchase. It weighed only 
34 pounds and UPS wanted 125 bucks to ship! They said it was the size of the 
box. SO.... I found a smaller box but had to make an end cap. The grille 
stuck out about 3 inches on one end and I wasnt able to fit any of the other 
parts this guy wants. I went back to the same UPS shipping office.....got 
the same quote on shipping...125 bucks!! The box went from 34 pounds to 14 
pounds and the cost was the same. I went to the post office and they want 85 
bucks for a parcel post. Is there any other way to ship?  What am I sapposed 
to do?? I dont want to seem like I am scammin' the guy on shipping, but that 
is astronomical for shipping. Anyone have any ideas on how to ship somthing 
with out paying an outrageous costs? Its got me kind of frustrated to say 
the least. Any responce will be greatly appreciated!!
