You might think this is strange but a Company called Fastenal offers cheap shipping. This is a Industrial supply company like Grainger! Second choice is your local greyhound Bus service.

I agree with SnakeOil. A lot of guys use Greyhound. I've gotten parts that way as the price is very reasonable. For the cost of a road trip, you'd be better off having it freight shipped.

I got fenders thru FedX about 10 years ago, $35 each. Also had a trunklid for a '69 300 shipped Greyhound.

I've used Greyhound a few times. Inexpensive but expect some scrapes. Pay the guy who is shipping them a few extra $$ to wrap the edges/ends well.

Try Forward Air if you live near a good sized airport. I had a Roadrunner hood shipped to me a few years ago and it was reasonable. Just make sure the originator of your fenders properly packages them.

Shipped a Cuda fender by UPS. Fenders are hard to box up and protect from getting bent etc but it made it through ok. This was also about 10 years ago and iirc, was around 35 bucks. Can only imagine what they would charge now.

You can also try http://www.freightcenter.com You key in your shipping criteria and they will give you about 20 or so quotes from several freight carriers. For a fender, it's going to cost about $200 - $250 by freight. for that distance. FedEx is probably the cheapest freight carrier, but none are cheaper than Greyhound. The advantage of freight is it will get there in two days. Greyhound will take several more days. I got a front end piece for my RR from Oregon and it took over a week.

I've used busfreighter.com several times. It is a site that you can pre-pay and get better rates than Greyhound. They email you a label to print and then you drop off the item to ship at Greyhound. I've shipped bumpers and fenders and as long as they are wrapped, they should arrive fine.
