TR Waters Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I have received parts by GreyHound, but have never sent any. Anyone here know exactly what is involved? I have a NOS fender in McClure, OH for my 49 Business Coupe that I need to get shipped home to Vermont. I tried UShip, but no one seems to want to mess with a single fender. Thanks.

Joe Flanagan Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Check with Johnny S. He sent me two doors via Greyhound. You might call the local bus station and see what they require, but Johnny will know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezeldoc Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Pretty easy, just wrap it up, take it down to the nearest depot and go to the shipping window and they will take it from there, real easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blucarsdn Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Many years ago when Greyhound was an Interstate & regional bus company their shipping was the fastest and most reliable form of shipping there was. Things changed when they closed the local terminals.. My good friend has used their shipping service in recent times for large items, fenders, hoods & doors... It usually takes many weeks, in some cases three months for the parts to show up because the parts travel on "space available", therefore they get put aside from terminal to terminal.. Their customer service people are not much help, they can track the parcel but can't tell you when it will leave the terminal it is sitting in. My friend learned the hard way to not ship parts during the holiday season from Thanksgiving through Christmas.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelOkie Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) I've had several big things (like some heavy old doors for a 36 Plymouth) shipped greydog this past year, and it's dang sure cheap, and they arrived just as quick (within a week of having been shipped), as some of the stuff that comes UPS off E-bay merchants that claim they have designated shipping days, and your stuff just happened to have been bought just too late to have it shipped right out, ect.. A lot, no matter how it's shipped, depends on how quick the shipper gets off his a$$ and gets the stuff to the terminal. Where it has to be picked up any place like at the Tulsa bus terminal, located downtown, a guy probably would want to be sure and do it in the daylight, judging from some of the spoonbills I saw that routinely hang around there panhandling, and worse, and that's all I have to say about that.......

oldmrham Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 I quit shipping with them between Tulsa and OKC because of loss and damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
