Default Shipping a Roll Bar

Have sourced a roll bar for my 964 from a private party and looking for options for shipping. (Chicago to Charlotte) I have looked at Greyhound and FedEx Ground. Greyhound looks reasonable but has anyone done this? If the roll bar is protected by cardboard on the ends and then wrapped in bubble wrap, would that work?

Thanks, Mark

Mark, I purchased my rollbar from a gent here and he sent mine via greyhound and it was timely and very easy. I would not hesitate to do it again in the future. Just make sure it's wrapped up nicely(that's what she said?).

No need to bix it up, cardboard and bubble wrap is more than enough.

I bought a Whale Tail and the seller used Greyhound for a 2000 mile fast and perfect delivery!

There are posts on the web that would advise against it, but I believe that Greyhound's loss % isn't any worse than FedEx or UPS.
