I got a buyer for front and rear sway bars. I'm in chicago he is somewhere in NC.

I dont know how to properly ship this item to him. Or even an idea to ship it. I dont have any box that looks like it will remotely fit. I was thinking of wrapping it in bubble wrap or something and shipping it whole.


Any thoughts and ideas?

Get UPS/FedEx to pack it in a box, or buy a box that's big enough to hold the whole thing and stuff it full of packing peanuts or something similar. I just received a RSB in a FedEx box that held the whole thing.

You could also call packing stores and UPS/FedEx and see what they recommend.

Get a few used boxes, then use a knife and some tape and make a box that fits the bar nice and snug. It can be the same shape as the bar, the box doesn't have to be square.

Bring it to a UPS ship it center and ship it.

Pretty simple actually.

it is possible to just wrap the bars in bubble wrap and ship it just like that.
also on njmax's idea.

I do know from experience Fedex and UPS like to jack up the price on shipping for oblong shaped boxes. Prices can fluctuate between a $10 and $20 DIFFERENCE just for a few inches on one dimension. If that is the case, try shipping it via Greyhound, a lot of times they have extra room on a Bus and will throw it down there for like $10. The bonus of this is that the person receiving the item will get it the same day, maybe the next one; but they will have to go pick it up at the Greyhound station.

no luck on box. greyhound wants the same amount of money


47x 16x 6 is what a nicely size box would be for the says. @ 20-35lbs they want $50-60
