Long story short I sold a bumper cover to a guy in North Dakota. I took it to UPS and they quoted me $243 to ship it. How do I ship it for a more reasonable price? Any help or ideas would be most appreciated.
North Dakota what with the oil boom gets a lot of truck traffic/shipping. You would think a LTL would be relatively cheap for a light item like a bumper cover.

I know they did it because their NASCAR team was in Denver and they used the company trucks to transport parts between there, TRD in Costa Mesa, and Joe Gibbs Racing in Huntersville, NC.
Greyhound can be cheap but the review of 2 star out of 5 for 64 reviews seem iffy, bad tracking and possibility of lost can means you end up losing money on it instead.
A television collector I know of shipped a CRT set across country on Greyhound, for a reasonable rate. Nobody else would ship it because it was a CRT, and were not reasonable.
Philco Predicta Black and White Television, had leaky bumble bees, bad couplets, and the flyback needed rewaxed.
A lot of antique radios and TVs are shipped by Greyhound and Amtrak. There's very little handling involved, the stuff is carted to the train and carted out, same level. No conveyor belts. And it's a smooth ride.
