How to ship a frame???

[littlebill31]

I'm trying to get some info on how to ship a frame. I've looked over the UPS/FedEx stuff, but want to know if someone has done this and how it worked out.
Thanks all

Try Grayhound for a quote.

FedEx is nuts.

ive used both greyhound and fed ex.
fed ex will ship it unboxed as long as there are no sharp edges exposed.
Last time i used fedex to ship a frame it cost me around 60 bucks but it was only going from mi to pa.
Greyhound is pretty cheap, shipped a frame from mi to vegas for 100 bucks. they will also take it unboxed. Just call them and they'll give you the details.

I brought the my already chopped portion of the frame to the UPS Store expecting to have to buy a box for it, but the guy just stuck a label to the backbone and said it was fine. It came back shrink wrapped in heavy plastic.

I folded some cardboard over it and wrapped the crap out of it with packing tape. The UPS Store took it like that.
