ANY IDEAS??? got some huge stuff to ship & no idea how!

Hey guys and gals I was hoping i have some experienced sellers here that can help me out. Im trying to ship out big items that shipping companies say is too big. I sold some big cargo panelling and a sunroof to fellow tcc member and i have no idea how to ship this stuff without being retardly expensive. So if if anyone knows an inexpensive way of shipping please let me know casue most shippers just say its too big and others say its has to be cube freighted whatever that means.
thx in advance
Nick

cube freight = $$$$$

Just take it to the train station and see if they'll ship it. As for the sunroof, package that isht really well.

Nope, no way to do it, Your just going to have to take it like a man and pay the price











j/k I have no idea, try a train like mentioned about or a company that ships overseas and such, they can prolly do it and they deliver huge stuff all the time

Where does the buyer live? If he lives in Canada, you might be able to use Greyhound.

I got the prices , the first package would cost you $35 and the second one $23. But if you want the discount i would have to be the one shipping this, thats how the stupid discount works, i was hoping i could just give you a confirmation # and you could ship it from hamilton. Anyways pm on what you want to do, oh without the discount just x4 each package price.
