question about how to ship "big" body parts.

for those of you who have sold "big" body parts over the net. how and what company did you use to ship out a bumper or any other big body part?

i have a bumper that i want to sell but i have no idea how or who to use to ship it. any help would be appreciated.

UPS, FED EX, or any other carrier will ship it for you. Just expect to pay a bit more for the large package. Get some cardboard and make a box or go to your local body shop and see if they have any boxes from recent bumpers they have purchased. UPS on line is easy to use, print and pay for shipping on line and they pick it up at your front door.

im sorry i should have been a bit more specific.

i was wondering how to package the thing being that getting a box that big would be kind of hard.

I hate quoting myself...
The body shop suggestion might be your best bet.

Three options;

Go to a packaging store and buy a big *** box.

Go to a body shop like njmaxseltd said and ask them for a big *** box.

Get some cardboard and make a big *** box.

I think your best (and easiest) bet would be to make yourself a make-shift box out of other cardboard boxes. Make sure you secure it together with some strong tape. And once you have the bumper in, fill it with something cushiony (peanuts, styrofoam pellets, bubble wrap, whatever you have).
