    Okay, let me know when you ship so I can know when to expect it. Also, I have paypal (chriskoro92@gmail.com) or you can send a check for the difference.

    Well Gene,I went to the PO,the box only weights 11 pds,total would be $101,00.so I took it back home,my guess is that you are not going to pay that kind of money,so let me know, I will send you the money back.Even if I make the box smaller,it will still be around $60.00,70.00. Bruno.

    Ok yeah that's a bit much, you can send the check or money back. Let me know if you need my address or anything. I wonder what service you tried to use that costs that much? Sorry for your trouble, thanks again.

    No problem.My granddaughter was here,but she had a small rental car,otherwise I would have had her bring it by her house,because she lives in not too far from you,Bruno.

    Well,it did take me a couple of hours to make a big box smaller,but who's counting! Sorry it did not work out,maybe another time.Bruno.

    Just for comparison recently sent a radiator shroud (late seventies Nova) to Florida panhandle. Probably smaller than the Buick A body. Ridiculous prices to ship, it "ballooned" with the post office. Finally got it done using a FedEx business account for just under fifty. But quoted guy $35 to ship. Really no cheap options anymore aside from Greyhound Bus. These workers usps, ups and FedEx are all paid very well. Unless they are a seasonal temp.
