Shipping help

[gball]

I don't know where to put this topic. So I'm putting here sense it's a gsxr part. I'm trying to ship a catalyst upper. Ups told me $204 for shipping sense the box is so big. I think that outrageous. Has anyone shipped one before and how'd you use and how much was it. Thanks

Just for shipping?? Thats crazy there...you may want to get with someone else like the postal service

[gball]

Yes just for shipping. I'm going in the morning to check other places. Just didn't know how anyone else has shipped one

For large packages that don't weigh much I always find Fed Ex to be a considerable amount cheaper than UPS. Also, depending on where you are shipping from and where you are shipping to, Grey Hound is a very cheap alternative. Yes, that's right, greyhound as in the Bus company. If you and the person that you are shipping to are both pretty close to a greyhound bus terminal you may want to check with them. I have sent a complete front bumper cover for <$40.00 from ct. To California. Check with buyer though because they have to go to bus terminal to pick package up,it won't be home delivered.

I shipped an old Gsxr upper, two mids, and a lower to Russia using a U-Haul X-Large box for less than $90. The postal worker thought I was crazy but it was super cheap compared to UPS or FedEx. So give the USPS a try.

It's that way because once over a certain size it goes off dimensional size and weight. it ups the cost very quickly.. I have aid $125-150 to ship one before and it's about normal... go to catalyst site and they have a one site shipping calculator and you can see what they pay plus $20 for handling..

Ok thanks guys. I'm good with paying $100 or a lil more but $200 is to much. I'm going to try USPS
