Cheapest shipper FROM bay area???

So, considering shipping seats, wheels, and possibly tires to another state.

Can anyone recommend a shipper in the bay area that is reasonable?

I "thought" the UPS store would be reasonable, but they are freaking criminal!

Try BAX Global if it's enough to tie to a skid.

Congrats : with UPS Store, you have managed to pick the MOST expensive possible way. Seriously

For the wheels/tires, you can ship via FedEx or UPS. However, do it by taking the items DIRECTLY to a FedEx location or UPS Depot. Rates are easily 50% LESS than UPS Store

For the seats, one of the cheapest ways believe it or not is via Greyhound! Yes, I am completely serious.....

Be careful with greyhound. I've heard about STi seats mysteriously "Disappearing".

I don't think they allow you to insure anything either.

If you can get the buyer to agree to greyhound though (and have them accept the risk in a written declaration), then it has the potential to save you a boatload of money.
