Just curious.
If you have, how much did it cost and what did you use?
Im getting RIDICULOUS quotes from ups.com (their site is never accurate anyways)
I just havent asked my work to do a quote for me. Might even ship it freight if its cheaper.

Try FedEx ground and US Postal online. I find from my part of the country FedEx ground is the cheapest most of the time. The exceptions are with small light weight packages and the US Postal Flat Rate boxes. But I've shipped dashboards, bumpers, and deck lids through FedEx ground and only had problems once, they lost a package containing a head for a couple weeks.

One other thing... sometimes the length of the longest dimension reaches a point where it becomes oversized and goes up drastically. So if you haven't got the package size as small as possible try running the numbers as tight as safely possible.

do you recall how much it was for the bumper?

OK, I found some notes from when I shipped a 1966 Cutlass rear bumper from Oregon to Ohio. The package weighed 30 pounds and was 76"X16"X8" the costs was about $55

You could get on the web site and experiment with package size, weight and zip codes for where it's being shipped to and from. I would expect the 1968-72 are a little heavier and larger. I know the 1973-77 bumpers are close to 100 pounds even without the shock mounts.

A friend of mine shipped a bumper from Ontario to Alberta on a greyhound bus. He said it was very reasonable.
I have never done it myself but it might be worth checking into.

I've used greyhound to ship stuff, but, I'd don't think I would trust them with fragile items. I shipped a 66 dash pad, and I think it ran 65 bucks on DHL.
