I shipped my stock front bumper via greyhound. Boxed the ends with cardboard and wrapped the whole bumper with a ton of bubble wrap and taped it all up very tightly.

The buyer just emailed me saying the bumper was cracked and showed pics..

Anyone else have the problem of greyhound damaging the product?

I've never used GH, but thanks for the heads up... I have a front bumper I need to dump.


UPS Ground wouldn't take it?

Fed ex will take it. But they charge more. I've always heard such good things from greyhound. I wrapped the package Real well. You got to bang up a bumper pretty good to crack it.

I'm filing the damage claim, I'll see what happens.

I had a rack (thanks again PM) shipped practically across the entire darn country via Greyhound a few years ago. Cheap to ship and arrived in great shape. Just one of those random events.

I shipped mine via UPS recently. No issues.


Yep, no issues and thanks again for the bumper.

I've shipped large pieces before through greyhound and had decent luck.

I got a fender and it was fine. The greyhound thing is right by work so it is easier for me to get to than UPS.
