so, what are the box dimensions?
Let me ask. He changed boxes after the first quote. The dimensions are still about the same though.

It wouldn't be a big deal, but I was given an amazing deal on a set of used Borla Stingers. I need them to replace the exhaust that I screwed up on my car (don't ask, it's a long, stupid story of my own stupudity).

This car is my daily driver.

I think it's in 2 boxes now.

the UPS store is your problem. I worked with a guy and his dad owned one of those places. Go directly through UPS or a FedEx branch

hell, a FedEx pack and ship wanted $11 to ship a set of clunk washers (box was like 3.5"x2"x1.5" and weighed under 8ounces). I took that shit to USPS and it was like $3.50

can he not break the exhaust down any further? They usually tell you the maximum dimensions before they screw you good on over sized freight

The exhaust is broken all the way down.

I was curious what i could ship the box that you first gave dimensions for so I sent them to my shipping department. This is what they sent back. This from Utah to 30814.

Sucks that you are getting worked over by the shipping company. I hope you can figure something out!

I’d most certainly go with greyhound. Only biggie is pickup is also at their stations and not home delivery. But I’ve shipped two bumper from Texas to California for 90 bucks and a set of wheels/tires for under 100 as well.

Did they check residential delivery for the quote you pictured? That will make a big difference.

I'm doing all I can to find a way around the nasty shipping charge.

Who knows, a genius here may have a solution and save my butt.

Be a baller and do next day air early.

Definitely see if he can take it to USPS or Fedex like @DSG2003Mach1 said. UPS charges a lot more than those two. At least in my experience shipping wheels and shocks.

I've found YRC freight to often have the best shipping prices. If you can find a local shipping company with routes between states they might be cheaper.

Working on that now. I did an online USPS quote and actually got a respectable price.

If I was going to be a baller I would have gone after the $3000 exhaust listed a few weeks back.
