The size is out of bounds for many carriers. Try Grey Hound freight. You just need to bubble wrap the hell out of it and the recipient will have to pick it up at the local station.

Isn't the stillen body kit folded up?

Generally, Grey hound is like UPS ground. Because customs is involved, the actual shipping time can vary wildly.

Also be prepared to get reamed with duties and taxes. Anytime UPS crosses the border with items for me, I always manage to pay a ton of extra fees. For example, when I bought an amp for 350 usd from the states, it came out to be 750 cdn once it reached my hands when it should have only been around 500 dollars cdn if it were a straight conversion.

Ask FedEx or the post office (USPS), maybe they'll ship it

You can always take a road trip without a bumper
