anyone used Greyhound package express?

[mudfud]

hi again.

I was looking at some items on ebay and noticed a seller that used greyhound package express. I had never heard of this as an option for large items.

has anyone used them? I got a sample quote to ship a vintage pachinko sized box of 50 pounds from NC to CA in 3 days of only $57 plus 5% fuel surcharge. this includes $100 insurance.

this is about 1/2 what fedex or USPS would charge.

I would, of course, have to go to the bus station to get it, but that's worth $60 to me.

I dont know about North America,

but this is a common shipping practice here, since there are numerous bus routes throughout the country.

for us its a fast an effective way of getting things sent where they need to get to..

very affordable to.

Fedex ground home delivery runs about the same. It might be a little bit more if you live off the beaten path, and it's less if you have it delivered to a business address.

I have used it for antique slot machines. Seems to work well.

a properly packed vintage will qualify for usps. i have shipped my that way with no damage at all!

We often use Greyhound to ship packages at Christmas time. Everythings has always gone well.

If you can't catch the damn electric rabbit, I'm not sure I have much use for you.
