Yellow was used to ship a NOS full 1/4 panel still in the box to my house and they they crushed it with about a ton of plow parts falling on it in the truck. Then I had to fight to get my money for it.

Suspect a full face 68-72 Quarter Panel is a bit too big for the Bus. They (greyhound) have dimensional limits. I have shipped with Greyhound for twenty years plus and they have never lost an item, did have a scare once with the Memphis Bus Station, a pair of doors got stuck there, and had to call customer service repeatedly to get them moving again. Memphis is a choke point, as a lot of routes go through there, and there is heavy traffic and lousy roads.
I would look at Uship dot com, getloaded dot com, and some of the other bid type load sites. There are a lot of retired type guys also, moving cars, and they often have room for parts. They would treat parts (one would think?!?) better than a common carrier. |

If l'm not mistaken, Fastenal has a freight shipping service also?

I never would have thought about Greyhound...good to know for the future. I tried to order a quarter three times from Ames last year, and got held up with freight two of those times. It was a complete PITA.

Cost me $75 to ship a 63 Catalina fender from San Diego to Central MN. That was awhile ago tho so price is probably higher now.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
