    A fellow hamber who is just south of Fort Worth has a pair of doors that I need. I need to get them to the Nahsville area or if it was easier, Memphis area could work. Any affordable options? I'd hate to put doors on a greyhound. Thanks guys.

    I use UPS when I ship doors. Cost around $47 to $75 each door.

    Sent from my SM-G930T using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

    doors that you need.... there is a giant difference in shipping between say a 32 roadster door and one from a 50's Cadillac. I have found on larger items FED EX is much cheaper than UPS, and many times USPS won't take them as they are oversize.

    I used an 18-wheeler that happened to be going the route I needed. He tied my doors to the area just behind his sleeper cab. -EM

    You are correct in not wanting to use Greyhound. Their tracking system is a joke, and whatever body work those doors need, you can double that by the time you receive them. I've been there and done that, so I recommend Fed-Ex.

    Taking a drive to Texas is the best way.

    Try one of the H.A.M.B. - they may be going your way. Never had a problem with Greyhound but they can be slow - move them on "space A" . They also give a pretty good military discount.
