    What are you guys paying to ship complete race bodies. I run the ups calculator and get prices like 175 to 275 for ship ground on a 32x32x36 box that weighs about 20lbs.

    Used to ship mine Via Greyhound, if they still do that sort of thing. Lotsa space under those buses. Think it was like 40$ most of the time.

    Greyhound freight is super cheap as long as the To and From folks are relatively close to a Greyhound station.

    About $70 for a full body in a 21.5 x 21.5 x 36 (69") box from Eastern Europe to Central PA.
    32 x 32 x 36, you're right at the 100" cut-off for special shipping considerations. Make the box smaller.

    I think USPS cost about 60$ to ship from SoCal to NorCal. Printing the label off their website was much cheaper than going to the post office.

    Used to be cheap but went up a bunch. I shipped a set of wheels and Fedex was substantially cheaper than Greyhound

    You are better off buying a cheap plane ticket on Southwest and checking it as luggage.

    I sent a Hotbodies box via Greyhound a couple of weeks ago from Montana to Iowa for $60.

    southwest airlines has freight now too, and it's pretty reasonable. Pick up at the cargo terminal at any airport they serve.

    We use delta dash at the shop a lot. Probably like the southwest Gino mentioned above. $55 (SoCal)-115 (Florida) within a few hours. Prices are based on shipping from Salt Lake City.
