Anyone going to Carlisle from the Dallas area? Member here bought my fender.Help

[Charger Aficionado]

I put a '69 fender on eBay, and buyer is a member here.  He lives in Canada, and shipping would be BAD.  I am not going to any car shows this season either.  Can anyone going to Carlisle or Mopar Nats (w/ a pick-up) take it on w/ them? 

Dan T is the member who bought it:

I'll be at both but not sure yet if I'm taking the truck to Carlisle.

Troy,
if you are able to bring it, I would of course reimburse you for your service..
Please let me know.
Thanks!

Troy is in Ohio... I'm not sure what he had in mind...  Maybe I guess he is thinking I could GPX (Greyhound) it to him?  Then he could take it to the show?  That may work good.

All I know is that Freight to Canada would cost a TON.  Heck freight state to state here is outragous (300ish).  The only way I've ever got-around Freight charges is GPX...

It's ok then. WEll just work it out. It's probably best if you GPX it to Niagara. I'll take it from there..

Oh, did it say "from the Dallas area" before? Sorry.

Give me something to drive home in on the 29th and I'll bring it along.

I'm in Dallas during the week of the 25th.

i shipped a 69 charger fender a couple months ago to a guy in canada(cant remember what part though) form pittsburgh, pa. and it cost me like $56.00       it was thru the U.S. postal service. you should check them...

[69charger2002]

a 69 charger fender through the post office for $56?? come on! that is nuts. they won't even take a package if it measures over 108" L+W+H.. which a fender is 70 length minimum in a box.. seriously how did you manage to get them to ship it so cheap?

  That would be SWEET . . but unlikely.

I think we got it covered...

sorry i was wrong. it was $58.70 and went to oshawa, ontario. no BS guys. they shipped it for that and delivered...

Hell I tried to ship some door panels and they said it was going to cost like $75 unless I made the package like 3 inches smaller.  I made it fit under that 3 inches and it was more like $30.  Im fed up with USPS. 

[police1]

i agree with you about USPS. it seem likes  sometimes they charge outrageous prces for something  and other times i get lucky like with that fender. i got prices everywhere from other places and just happened to stop at our local post office and thats what they charged! i wasnt going to complain . i guess you just have to get lucky or something...

Several years ago, I bought a fender for my Olds off ebay and the seller shipped it by Greyhound bus.  As I recall, it was reasonably cheap and, because he wrapped in a couple of layers of cardboard and taped the hell out of it, it arrived in great shape.  Not that it was necessarily a treat to visit the Oakland bus station, but I got the fender I needed.  Anyway, perhaps you can check Greyhound's rate.

Best,

Neal

GPX was the ONLY way I have found to avoid costly Freight charges!  They wanted some CRAZY amounts like $300.00 plus.
