Default Shipping a spoiler

I sold my 2022 low profile spoiler on Ebay. The spoiler is a curved fiberglass piece approx. 60inX6inX6in.. Shipping is expensive. USPS special is $75 while UPS is $130. I was considering to wrap it in bubble wrap and seal it in a plastic envelope?

Regards,

DMK

…that’s how the one I bought used was shipped to me…. My advice is to reinforce the spoiler with thick cardboard or something that’ll make the carrier have a harder time flexing it when they use your box to hit ***** around on their break…I think mine might have actually hit a homerun! 😡

Good luck with the shipping - I would highly recommend enclosing it in a sturdy cardboard container, even if it means you have to fabricate a custom box.
