Tripleskate Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I put my hood up for sale on a Mazda forum, and I've been getting some interest in it, but it would require shipping it. I did some rough measurements today, and I'm looking for a box around 60in x 45in x 6in. My roommate recommended looking for boxes at a staples or business supply store. As a result of it's size, finding the best means of shipping it has been difficult. After doing some research, it looks like Fedex is my best bet. Has anyone had a similar experience, or can recommend a certain company? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Automotive Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I just threw 3 boxes away that would have worked. Call some bodyshops and see what they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work part time at Value City Furniture. I could also get a headboard box for you if you need it. I personally have always used UPS. FedEx I'm sure is just a good. You could also try calling around other freight only shippers like RL and so on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBQdDude Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Check out Greyhound for shipping it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripleskate Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 A hood for a 3 wagon? I know a guy in Canal who could use one since his is creased. If you dont have a deal set in stone let me know the details. I know his is an 04 VIS Racing, Carbon Fiber, have a ton of pictures if necessary, easily 8/10 condition. Asking $400 (MSRP $760). Fits the 04-09 wagons (non-Speed3). The grille is also for sale at $200 (new is around $320). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot, I am trying to sell it locally first, just for simplicities sake, but this guy in Florida is cash ready, so I may be in contact with you shortly. Ill shoot him a text and see if he even cares to still fix it! Its been dented for like 2 years lol Cool, keep me posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbracing81 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Did that box and packing material work out for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleskate Posted June 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Did that box and packing material work out for you? It ended up being about 6 inches too short in terms of width, but provided I find a box, that packing material will really come in handy, I really appreciate it.
