Re: OT- shipping parts, BIG parts...

["Casey Webster" <tinfool@home.com>]

I have used the Bus to transport many parts.....seems funny doesn't it?  but
they will ship very large pieces for very cheap.  (At least here in Canada),
I work at a movie theatre, and we use it all the time to ship films (80lbs
or so each, depending on the length).

I got a Eurobumper from a guy in Montreal and I sent him my old US bumper so
he could put it on to sell his car.  Cost him $14 to ship the euro bumper
here, and me $18 to ship the US bumper there (mind you, these are CDN$).
Total mileage is about 6-700 km I would say.  took 1 day for them to arrive.
