Ducktail Shipping Question
Anyone have an idea the cost of shipping a ducktail from Dallas to San Francisco? I'm assuming, FedEx Ground would be the safest/ reasonable way. Any feedback could be appreciated.

Greyhound or Forward Aire.

Whatever you do, make sure it's boxed well. Size of the box is going to make a big difference in cost.

Both are portal to portal. No home delivery.

If you don't have access to a business shipping account with fedex or ups, you can sign up for a free marketplace shipping account with UPS.
https://www.ups.com/ca/en/services/shipping/marketplace-shipping.page It's generally good for about a 15% discount compared to the normal UPS rates.

dont use ups...they lose shipments and or break them and then its weeks of pain to get rectified. I ve used Greyhound very successful to ship both a ducktail and a targa hardtop. Great service, great prices too

As someone who has shipped Ducktails before, the hands down best rate you'll get is from Paypal.
Pop into paypal, select UPS, enter dimensions. You'll be hugely discounted for large items which is great, compared to walking into a UPS store. Paypal gets insane volume discounting - and big packages are super cheap to ship through their platform.
