Shipping large parts at Hershey

[Arlen]

I'm planning on buying a rear fender this year at Hershey and am wondering how I'm going to get it home. I know there's the UPS store in town but doubt they have a box big enough. I live in Texas and am flying back home. Anybody have any ideas? What have you done that works?

Plastic wrap and ship greyhound...........

I have also shipped through usps with plastic wrap-rear fenders are not a big problem
ps(check who does your pricing at usps-they are all over the place, because nobody understands basic math!)

I once shipped a set of rear model a fenders via Greyhound and it worked out good . I do not remember specifics , check out details at your local bus station .

I have shipped fenders, radiators, and running board shields home from the UPS Store in Hershey. They can pack pretty much anything.

I have also shipped UPS through and independent UPS store. They offered to give me packing material to get the job done. So this could be an option.

I would think that you should be able to take it with you on the airplane, shrink and bubble-wrapped. It should not cost more to check it in than shipping it UPS. I'll be in Hershey too; flying in from California on the 7th, back late on Sunday the 12th.

I would use anyone before USPS. They have broken and lost so much of the stuff I bought on ebay, that this was one of the reasons for my trip to Michigan last week. I drove 700 miles one way just to pick up an antique Stromberg Carlson radio, rather than let USPS break it. I conbined the trip with the Gilmore activities.
