Can someone help me with the cheapest and easiest way to ship a 72 GS front bumper from Seattle, WA to Las Vegas, NV? A friend of mine found one up there but won't be back this way for awhile. I know there's a lot of experience on here so I wanted to throw out the question. Finally getting my Buick put back together after the drunk driver ran me off the road. Just in time for summer! Thanks for the help!
They will burn you on the rears but 70 fronts are pretty reasonable, go by a local body shop and get some bumper packages they'll have plenty
Last one I shipped to the chrome shop was 26.00. Went into my local tractor / farm equipment store. Bought the label through their account and stuck it on the bumper with clear tape.
Greyhound is the way I did the last one. It was wrapped in a rescue mission store bedcover and then wrapped with plastic. I think I may have used some cardboard on the edges and ends.
The best way is too use carpet padding and shrink wrap like Duane does the front GSX spoilers. It does not add any weight or dimensions really. DL
I had 2 bumpers shipped to me in New Mexico from California last fall. They were each wrapped in plastic and then wrapped with some white foam packing sheeting about 1/4 " thick, a few layers. Next was a wrap with cardboard and clear shipping tape. They added a 2x4 the full length of the bumper and taped it to the package pretty tightly. These were rechromed bumpers, so they needed protection. Shipped UPS $75 each
Awesome! I appreciate the help everyone. I talked to him this weekend about shipping it ups so I think that's the way he is going to check into. Thanks again!
