The question is, how do I ship a hard top from wisconsin to ohio... It's about 4 feet wide, 2 feet tall, and mabey 3 feet long... 30lbs or so....
How do I ship this? It's fiberglass, so it could get damaged if crushed or something...
Any ideas? Speed isnt importaint, just getting it there in one piece and cheaply.
Thanks alot

Nate, Greyhound is a decent choice as long as the top isn't too big (I wouldn't think so) and the receiver doesn't mind picking it up at the local Greyhound terminal. If that doesn't work check out freightquote.com. It'll give you a dozen or so different LTL carriers, duration of delivery as well as the price. Strap in on a pallet and send it on its merry way.
I ship tons of stuff all over New England but my carriers are regional and don't go past NY state. I've used freightquote about 20 times in the past 2 years for shipments outside of the northeast and I've had good luck with it. If you do go that route try to see if both you and the receiver have access to a loading dock because you'll save $60-80 on the shipment if you both do.
