Default Please Help! Shipping ?

I have a C5 spoiler that I want to ship. The box is about 60"tall X 36" wide X 6" thick. What is the best way to ship it. The size makes it expensive to ship. I see some stuff shipped truck freight, but I don't know what or who that is. Obviouslt there's FEDEX, UPS, DHL. ANyone got any suggestions??? TIA!!!

Not sure which of these cover your area but try one of these trucking companys:

Yellow Freight, USF Holland, USF Dugan, Roadway, Conway Now.

Not sure if they will be cheaper.

Try looking them up on the web.

I have used the Post Office for pieces that big. They are not exactly cheap, but they are easy to find. Be sure to insure it.

DHL sure impressed me when I bought some wheels from a CF member ... they might be my primary shipper in the future.

I've never shipped anything oversized, but a friend, who ships a lot of large & heavy packages, uses DHL. He says they have good service a better rates then Fed Ex or UPS.

Thanks everyone for the ideas and recommendations. The box I'm shipping the ACI spoiler in is large, but only weighs 12 pounds. From coast to coast it was about $90 through FedEx.
Thanks Again,
Jason
