Short hood shipping info?
 

Hey guys,

My short hood is in my storage and I need the dimensions and weight for shipping?

Also can you tell me who to use for shipping?

Thank you!

Greyhound is most cost effective for large parcels. Just ain't quick. They have a door to door option if you book online.

I use uship.com for big stuff. I've had transmissions, engines, hoods, etc come without any issues. Good luck!

Do a search here on uship.com before you use them. Be aware that they ARE NOT a transportation company. They are a website that facilitates the link between a shipper(you), and a transportation company. They have no responsibility for the shipment itself. It is your responsibility to insure the transportation company has the proper legal operating authority and insurance.

Personally, I have had a horrible experience with them and would never use them under any circumstances.

I was trying to buy a short hood and have it shipped from So CA to No CA. Uship quoted me $300 and then gave me grief when I told them they were expensive.

Greyhound can do it but you better pack it carefully. I shipped a metal hood with them and the corners got bent. I have shipped several fiberglass hoods with no damage. For the edges near the cowl I would cut plywood squares and bolt them to the hinge mounts to keep the corners safe. Then use a lot of foam and cardboard padding around the other edges. Two full sized bicycle boxes slid inside each other will work. Last hood I shipped from SoCal to TX was about $80, for a fiberglass hood with a total package weight of 26 pounds (steel hood is probably 25+ pounds more). Took about 2 weeks.
