Turn key shipping
 

Guys I bought a hood up in Ohio and I am in Atlanta. Breaking away for two days with my kids baseball is going to be tough. Anybody know a good turn key shipping option they have had good experience with?

I hear you about baseball. Driving to Vermont from NJ this AM to watch our youngest play in opening day at college.

If the you and the seller aren't in a rush, I've had luck putting a want ad in the swap section for a "relay". Meaning someone traveling near the location of the part and come up to or near you.

Shipping a hood would need to pricey & dicey why to go due to size.

Yes sir Tim, missing a game just isn’t in the cards!

It looks like uship is an option, post an ad and get bids. Really not worried that bad about cost, just quality of shipping and getting it here without it blowing out of the back of the truck! Hoping someone else has done what I am trying to do.

Good luck in your son’s game. Watching your boy play in high level stuff has to be one of the most rewarding experiences as a dad in my opinion, enjoy!

@3twinridges,

If you are not in a hurry (about 3 weeks) & depending where in Ohio it is located, I may be able to help!

My reputation of taking care of folks cars & parts here on the forum should give you piece of mind.

If you would like, send me a P.M. or give me a call today with the location in Ohio.

God Bless

JB,

I am very sorry but just too far out of route on my trip. Had it been in the Cleveland/Youngstown area I could have picked it up on my way to New Hampshire, then on to Florida & Georgia.

God Bless
Bill
