I shipped a fiberglass 4 inch cowl hood for a 66 Chevy II to Canada via the UPS store. I ended up letting them box it so it wouldn't be an oversize charge and could go on the regular truck. It was $103 to Canada, so if your box isn't too big it should be a lot less inside the US.

Must be oversized then, that will make it truck freight...

tim, i ship these truck freight items a lot. i shipped 40 lbs. truck freight from illinois to california - business to residence for $175.00. most of the time it runs around $125.00. depends on fuel surcharges. anyway i use R & L CARRIERS most of the time. hope this helps. brian

UPS Changed the way they charge now... It used to be certain amount of total inches were allowed to determine if it was oversized or not. I went to ship out a tranny shield last week and it was pricey so I questioned why. They told me now it goes by size of box the bigger it is the more the billable weight is now, so my 6lb box was charged at 66lbs because it was bigger. I asked about the what size does it need to be so we cut it down there took a lot down and saved $6.00 he said its going to very $ to send bigger items now.

ups, fed ex- want 245-260 for a 70 fiberglass one, from ny to Illinois
i still havent got the thing- thats wayyy to much
i think you can get away with just shrink wrap on them for less money - but it was still 245-260- so i dont know what it would have been for one crated!
hell i can buy a new one for that

FedEx is on Crack. DHS said $310. Guess who I'll be going with.

believe it or not... Greyhond bus had the best price !!! $70 !!!!!! but will take up to 3 weeks..........................

Fed Ex after some negotiating will ship the hood in my box for $140, only there dock to dock, which is only a 1/2 hour away from me,and the seller has no problem either... also will only take 3 days tops
