Default Shipping a bumper cover

Anyone have an suggestions on how to have a used bumper cover shipped? I found for sale in Salt Lake City (this is for my 740iL) and the guy parting out the car is saying it can go Greyhound down to Austin for $97 but I'm wondering if there are alternatives.

Just shipped a DAS bar, NY to CA, via Greyhound - $74.56.

You just go down to the terminal and pick it up once it arrives?

Greyhound Freight rocks -as long as they are reasonably close by. I have shipped several pairs of seats using them - about half the cost of FedEx and UPS.

Do a check via the Internet. Both FedEx and Greyhound have very user friendly sites. I used Greyhound in the past but for the last set of seats I found FedEx was cheaper. With the length of the bumper, Greyhound may be the way to go.

I got one via UPS. The seller just packed up up in the box he had from the bumper cover that he bought for his car.
