Default Shipping makes me sad.

I posted my Grill on Sale/wanted. got a buyer. Then I went to ship the grill.. HOLY crapola USPS wanted $169 to ship Crazy.. Needless to say it didnt happen and probably wont to anyone not local.. I guess shipping is punishment for us private citizens. LOL

Anyway if you all know of anyone looking for an OEM C7 Grill with camera's .. I have mine avail.

Tough man I went through the same thing with my wheels I just sold. It was almost $400 to ship them to New Mexico! Finally got a buyer in the good ol' WA, but not after I burned an entire weekend getting out shipping quotes, and NEVER hearing back from ANYONE

Wait until you ship a set of wheels....

The solution is to make the buyer pay for shipping.

Call Greyhound to see what thy would charge. Guess they don't have a problem with oversize stuff that will fit in the storage compartments of their buses.

What is the purpose of having camera? Accident or other reasons?

The front camera lets you see how close you are getting to a curb or those concrete parking wheel stops. It can save your front spoiler from damage which if made of carbon fiber can get a bit expensive.

Very true.

I use them every day and no longer have to guess when to stop.
