I’ve heard that some people use Grey Hound Buses to ship parts, but Josh is the first to provide first hand experience. Here’s what he had to say.
“As a tip and likely often overlooked when trying to ship something, Grey Hound offers an excellent shipping service (cheaper and faster than USPS in every experience I’ve had) I recently had a full gpw windshield assembly with gun rack in a crate, a set of mb top bows, a skid plate, an air cleaner and a small pile of other parts all shipped in the same load by greyhound for less than $140. They are the way to go when it comes to these bulky parts. Also for a $2 fee they take C.O.D for shipping expense so no need for the seller to get back to you just pay for the part they drop it off packaged up at gray hound and you wait a couple of days for a phone call to come pick up your stuff! (sometimes they even help load 🙂 )”
Shipped a GPW hood from Portsmouth NH to S.F. Ca. for $60. The buyer picked it up at the bus station five or six days later. It’s a good option.
