I WAS going to sell my Wings West big mouth front bumper but iafter i had it packaged up, i was informed that the box was to big for ground and had to be shipped overnight which would have costed 930 bucks! You guys seem to sell large items like nothing so how do you get them shipped to the buyer? Especially bumpers because i have 3 That i need to sell!

greyhound. bubblewrap the crap out of it. take it to the nearest greyhound station. buyer will have to pick it up at the nearest greyhound.

How do i know if some random person doesnt pick it up and walk out in the middle of a stop!?

the person picking it up shows id at the counter. also they have to verify the address and phone number.

Oh can you explain how it works in detail? Right now my idea was that i bring it to the bus stop, throw it in the back of the bus and when the bus reaches his location he goes on the bus and grabs it!lol but i have a feeling that i have the wrong idea?!

lol, no problem. you take the bumper down to your nearest greyhound bus station. i have done this twice and received this way three times with no problems and my greyhound station is crack head city. the clerk at the counter weighs it, asks what it is, asks if you want any additional insurance. i bubble wrapped the crap out of mine and it arrived fine. usually i attach a address to the package. they then enter the info into the computer and attach there own label. they then put it back in the back and when that bus departs they put it under the seating area where they store the suitcases, etc. only person that can get to it it the person who loads and unloads items. when it arrives at the destination, greyhound calls the person to pick it up. they have three days before it is shipped back to you.
