Default Shipping Help!

I would like to ship a C6 hood from zip code 46064 in Indiana to zip 10577 Westchester NY. Can anyonegive a reputable trucker that would ship that for a reasonable cost. UPS quoted $425 which I thought was crazy. Any advice.

Default You might try this

Get bubble wrap frome home depo or if you have a mailbox inc. store in your town. Wrap it about four times tightly,Then use wide clear tape to seal all open seams. wrap a couple extra times vertically and horizontally, make shure you put the lable inside the last wrap on both sides and take it to Greyhound..They will deliver it without stacking anything heavy on it,unlike the trucking companys. And it will cost less than a third of any trucking company. They don,t have heavy freight to deal with so virtualy impossible to damage or scrape. Hope this helps.
