Best way to ship front lip?
#16
I'm just guessing on the dimensions here, but a quote for a 46"x10"x10" box @ 10lbs, via USPS Parcel post is $25.51 ($51.75 for Priority), and via UPS Ground is $23.99.
BTW, I used my zip code (06810) to CA (90210). So your actual quote may be cheaper than those prices I listed.
Depending on how you pay for it and get it to UPS factors into that price as well. USPS is easier, seeing that Parcel post can only be done in person at the post office, so theres no price variables on that quote.
I've shipped a dozen or so vintage chrome bumpers around the US via UPS using this thick *** blue bubble wrap that my bodyshop guy had on hand. I wrapped it around the bumper a couple times, taped the **** out of it, and put my fragile stickers, packing slip, and shipping label all on the outside of the blue wrap. Never had any complaints or issues with the bumpers showing up damaged.
In any case, I would recommend using USPS, depending on the size of the package that is. If it goes over a certain girth the price can jump quite a bit, but I think you should be safe with a front lip for a miata. UPS has caused me much grief over the past 5-6 years and I use them far and few now, only when I absolutely have to. USPS has yet to fail me (knock on wood).
