how do i ship a bedcover?

ok, after 3 years of trying, i think i finally have my bedcover sold. It's fiberglass gaylord over the rail. The dimensions are appx. 78x64x4 and i'm guessing it weight about 100 lbs. Who do i need to get to ship it? I tried ups and it's not bad for a 100lb package, but that did'nt have any place for me to put in dimensions. Have any of you guys ever shipped a bedcover? Please someone let me know, i'm going nuts. I don't want to overcharge the dude, but i don't want to lose my ass on it, either.

prob have to have it shipped by truck

jumbo, you could ship it in a box. call or go to a local truck accessories shop and see how they ship them. or call gaylord. or go to UPS, fedex, or usps and ask ?s till u annoy them into an answer.

take it to the post office hahaha

Hey Jumbo ship it via Greyhound. Its Cheap! Just wrap it in as much cardboard as you can find then wrap it in stretch/shrink/saran wrap and take it to them. They go everywhere and it may take a few days but I bet they do it for $100 or so.

truck freight. hope it is going to a business address it will be cheaper than a house. AAA COOPER,SOUTHEAST FREIGHT,I KNOW UPS ships frieght.good luck it should be around a 100 bucks. make sure it is packaged good. bubble wrapped and everything

yeah, that's how i shipped my bumper cover, it was $30 cheaper than ups, and it got there in a day and a half. But i think tihs is going to be too big. like i said, just the bedcover is 78x64x4, and it's not like i can throw that in the vibe and haul it to the nearest shipping agent, lol.

try ups freight! lots of time the will have stuff lying around to ship it wit! i no i work for them. dont call regular ups or the ups store! the have only lil boxes and stuff! but if they dont have anything make sure u find something good to wrap/put it in cuz its gona get throw around a lot. trust me......!

Where you shipping it to? Cross country or what? I know a lot of truck companies and may be able to help depending on where its goin.

gavin, it's going from my house (you know where it is, lol) 72823 to tampa, fl 33609. I called fedex freight and ups freight today, and since it's going residential to residential, they won't ship it on a truck, cheapest way with those guys is 2 day air, and cost from both of them was $520. I just laughed and said thanks, have a nice day. Gavin, if you can help, please, please, please do so. I've been trying to sell this damn thing for almost 4 years and finally got a dude that sounds serious about it. I had a guy call me last wednesday morning and ask about it, sed he could pick it up, but i think i kinda scared him off when he said "do you still have the bedcover for sale?" and i replied with "I SURE AS HELL DO!! WHEN DO YOU WANT TO PICK IT UP?" dammit. And i checked grayhound (now jefferson lines) and the website said they don't even go to florida.
