I have  found a few things that I have needed out west and such, but I have 
heard so  much bad things about the shipping grey hound that I'm a bit 
leery on using  them. I need rear fenders for my 67, and I have only been able 
to find them  out west, but I don't want to get them smashed up. Both sets I 
found were only  willing to ship using greyhound. I haven't talked to them 
yet to see if they  would ship using someone else. I've been keeping my eye 
open for something  closer. I don't need them right away, just collecting 
parts till I can get  time to work on that one.




Part of the problem is that rear fenders are "oversize", and it costs twice 
 as much to ship them. It's just like shipping floor pans, as they're 
"oversize"  too. If you can get a pair from the same guy, then put both in the 
same box, and  either UPS, Fed Ex, or DHL them. Front fenders are real close 
to the limit  (especially the late 70 to 73). The early ones should be just 
under the UPS  limit. I know, as I've had late fenders shipped to me before 
(via UPS).I've also  had 2 Notchback rear trunk lids shipped to me. They both 
came Fed Ex. My nearest  greyhound is 60 miles away, so it doesn't pay to 
ship it to me that way. Living  in the "salt belt" doesn't help, when the 
parts you need are on the west coast.
