What's my best shipping option for a big package?

Selling my running boards off my truck to a guy in GA and am curious which option is the best. Combine weight is probably 60-75lbs and they're each ~6' long. Anyone have a suggestion?

Any flat rate options for that size?

Fed Ex freight.

Additional handling
& Large freight charges with Ups if I remember the specs correctly

nice subtle brag, but it's probably not as big as you think

I literally did exactly this back in the early 00's. Sold them on eBay and shipped ups from a ups store place. Would probably be better to package them separately but that sort of stuff is right up ups/fed-ex's alley.

Baton Rouge Packing and Shipping on Coursey can help you out if you want to pay someone else to pack it

Sounds crazy, but a friend is moving and is using Amtrac to ship her packages/boxes. She found them to be the most reasonable. They hold them for 3 days after arrival for free, then you have to pay storage for anything beyond that.

Yep, I was just coming to suggest Amtrak.

Per ups, it's about $100 to ship two packages weighing 35# ea, 12"x12"x72" from Baton Rouge to Atlanta.

This is the answer, highly recommend them. UPS stores are hit or miss on packing, the guys at BRP&S are pros. They work with all carriers and should be able to give you the most cost effective option.

Thank you I will stop by tomorrow and see what they can do for me

Call Fastenal for shipping quotes.
They were half the price, of any carrier, for an axle that I had shipped last month.
I would plastic wrap and protect the ends just a little. Drop them off at your nearest location anf they pick them up at the location nearest them.

I have heard that the company Fastenal will ship heavy things from store to store. give them a try, also Greyhound bus might work too.

UPS or Fedex Ground will do that.
