Default Shipping roll bar canada to US

Hey guys, figure if anyone ships roll bars it'd be you guys. What's the best way to pack and ship a roll bar for across the border?

Thanks, Everything I've looked into is either insane expensive or not doable.

Well, if its a nice one you may not want to do this, but I've shipped a couple using Grayhound and both arrived just fine. I wrapped them in bubble wrap and then pieced a box together around the bar (they require it be boxed). I didn't think they'd accept it but they did and it was cheap!

That's the easiest way except they don't do cross border shipping

Sorry, I thought they might. How far are you from the border? Can you have them drop in somewhere stateside and just go pick it up?

That's probably what I'll do. I'm actually the guy shipping it just trying to help the buyer out.

buy some roll bar padding and a Lot of bubble wrap (especially for the "feet") I believe that Fedex might be your best option for shipping as they dont require a box ...

paletted will cost more to ship, and might require freighting
