I purchased a hood from the state...(Florida)...and now need a shipping company that will ship it.

I heard fedex and ups wont ship them..

Anyone knows??

any help is greatly appriciated..

 

fedex ground will ship a hood no problem.

 

thanks... (i will check that out)

any other courier that will ship hood??

 

DHL will do it to.

There are also freight companies that will ship for you that may be cheaper - but take longer and you'll have to pick it up at their depot in your city.

 

how much in average to ship hood from florida to ontario?? (weight approx around 25lbs)

 

And Please Insure It For Full Value ! .

 

Your best bet is to open up the yellow pages and start calling. Most parcel shipping companies will ship pretty much anything that can fit in a trailer, as long as your willing to pay the price. You will probably be charged extra for the size (they'll bump up the weight and charge you that). Call a couple places and ask. They'll need to know the dimensions of the box and weight to give you an accurate price. Although the person you bought it off of "should" be taking care of the shipping.

 

yea....its nuts..
i am looking at $400-$600usd for ground freight...

 

Are you kidding? There's no way it should cost that much. That's what I paid to have an entire car shipped from Montreal to Vancouver!

 

this is what ups/fedex has qoute me..

the transfer/shipping fee is $179 (fedex) and $249(ups)
the hood must be strap to a pallet (that will cost $250) otherwise it will get damage. Plus a tail gate fees (?) ...

Anyone ever bought a hood from the state??...what is the shipping cost like??

 

You... have the hood shipped via DHL to a customer warehouse/dock in Niagara Falls NY, drive down there with a crapper on and swap it out before coming back across the border. I have used DHL and freight companies to move bumpers and other large parts without a problem this way. Greyhound ships also but perhaps not that size. Then it's as simple as picking up the item at your local bus station or one on the US side.

 

It's gonna be pricey no matter what. Cost me $300 to get a 4 piece body kit from california. A hood will likely be similar in volume and weight, just a different shape.
