[BaadAssGremlins] Re: shipping tips (large items)



Hi Davis, no, don't think it was you or would have asked you about it off-bart, off-ebay, off-furum, ect.
This might help others who consider shipping a bumper. At many furniture stores they have very large boxes. I measure my bumpers from <------------------------> and also top to bottom. And armed with a single edged razor (you can get these box cutters at dollar stores and they come with a slew of razors) I double the size I need and simply fold the cardboard in 1/2 like a taco. Mmmm....
hungry again, will be back.

Was that me? I have an ambassador bumper for sale. I never checked on shipping though. How do you ship it wrap it in cardboard?
I hear you, I was going to bid on a bumper for Ambassador in CT but the fellow wanted $100 in shipping! I have shipped many bumpers, all types AMC in the last 22 years, even just sent a mint front bumper for Project SCC/Rambler that Doug Glad & crew are building that little 67 American for Car Craft, but shipping it from Houston to LA was $30, and most bumpers are about $30. The best way to ship them is usually FedEx as opposed to UPS or USPS. Just my annoying comment on shipping them, others may be different!

If I don't see a shipping charge, I'll either e-mail the seller or pass it by. Was going to bid on a rear bumper for my Hornet but the shipping calculator said $98.

Ooh, didn't notice that! I just got cornholed on shipping myself, bought a
set of Eagle hubcaps on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7966174068&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOAB:US:6
no where in the auction does it show shipping.

I have shipped hundreds of hubcaps thru the years myself you know.
Like the {rice is Right with Bob Barker who gives away thousands of dollars
in prizes in the fabulous showcase showdown, you have to get close to price
without going over. I was stunned to see the shipping:
Item #/Item Title                              Qty     Price
============================================================
7966174068                                       1 US $28.78
AMC EAGLE SET OF 4 FACTORY WHEEL COVERS 1985'

------------------------------------------------------------
Subtotal: US $28.78
Shipping and handling via Standard Flat Rate Shipping Service : US $26.00

I hope that comes with a 55 gallon drum of KY
Jelly..........................
