Shipping ideas for bigger items
 
I know this is the wrong forum But I'm trying to find out info on shipping bigger items from Canada to the USA like body parts ..Doors ,Fenders , items that your local Post office won't ship and the courier company's UPS , FedX are now charging why too much to ship ..Any suggestions would help.. Thanks

Try Transit Systems Inc: 1-800-626-1257

No affiliation, but super pleased with two recent transactions. They provide door pickup and delivery and ship according to weight, so extremely reasonable. I recently had 488 lbs of misc parts shipped from MN to upstate NY for $600. And it arrived in 36 hours.

I've used https://www.uship.com/ many times with great success. Looks like there are Canada options.

You can't use the bus for cross border. Fedex Freight is good.

Used them for a pair of seats from the east coast. While it took like 10 days to make it all the way to Seattle, it was also 1/4th of the cost of UPS. Would use again if I wasn't in a hurry

Just had my first greyhound experience as a buyer. I gotta say it was painless and cheap... Absolutely no issues, got package in 4 days. No damage...

People always sell stuff but don't want to ship. What's the big deal?

the nearest Greyhound is 25 miles from here , and even farther from many others ,

Shipping a cheap bulky item is often not worth the trouble unless you are doing it to help someones project move along.....

Never thought of 25 miles as a big deal... 20 minute ride...

My post was for international shipping Canada to Usa not state to state .. Your shipping in the states is peanuts to what we Canadians pay ..
