What is the best way to ship bumpers?

I'm selling my mtech bumper and would like to know the best way to ship it. I have heard you can just bubble wrap it really well with out a box and UPS will take it.
Any ideas?

Thank you
Mario

When I shipped my trunk lid I went to my local BMW dealer and they had a huge box that fit perfectly. Chk with your BMW dealer for a box large enough for the bumper.

Definitely box it up, depends on the size but you can try DB Schenker or Pilot Freight as they work with large freight and may be cheaper than UPS.

UPS or FedEX will both be expensive. Whats going to hurt you in price is the size of the box. Even though it won't weigh that much, the box is huge. Good Luck.

I shipped my bumper a week ago for $83 dollars through Greyhound which included 300 dollars of insurance. Fedex & UPS would of run me nearly 200.

I would not ship it with only a bubble wrap. There is no structure protection.
