Shipping Automotive Parts?
Alright, so I have never shipped anything before and I have a few people who want quotes on shipping. I've got some Axles, shiftlinkages and mounts that need to be shipped. I dont wanna just walk up in the Post Office and be like "whats up" with some used car parts and they look at me like I am a terrorist. Do I just need to get boxes for the items and have them weigh it or what?

pretty much...just box it up and then take it to ups and they weigh it with the destination where it goes and you pay them ...and off it goes...

just make sure there is no oil residue on anything. IDK if you have The UPS Store in your area but the ones up here are assholes and I would advise going to UPS directly.

Just wrap them up, get them boxed up, and go to the USPS website to get shipping costs. You can do the same thing with UPS or FEDEX.

The few that I have asked...yes and one even OWNS a business..but never does any duties at his place of business so he was clueless..

Re: Shipping Automotive Parts?
I'm not trying to knock on you here since you asked, but I can't believe you questioned multiple people and not one of them knew how to ship something. I didn't realize shipping shit was that complicated. Haha
