shipping exhaust

I need an exhaust, for my R53, shipped from the Tampa area to Vermont. It is assembled and I would like to get it here in one piece. Anyone have any experience with this?

Cheers,

Eric

I saw a show a while back called 'Shipping Wars'. You can do the whole thing online, assuming it's legit of course..

oversized ... odd shape ... and in this shape, fragile

you will probably pay more in shipping cost then you bought it for ....

good luck

when trying to save $$ you need to consider ALL the contributing factors . . .

You MIGHT save money by having it cut down to reasonable sections and welded back together when you get it .... but I doubt it.

Got it for free. That's why I figured the shipping would be worth it.
Thought about cutting it and welding too. Might be worth it!

Cheers,

Eric
