Provide us with more info like where it is shipping from and where to. Find local trucking conpanies that do pallet rates or loose box deliveries.

I got my bumper from arizona to cali via a local trucking company for $68

Still doesn't make sense. I sent an oversized package with that... they charge an additional $55 for an oversized package fee and use a different billable weight. A bumper will easily fit in one of their box trucks, it just takes up a lot of real estate.

Def used the wrong dimensions (unless it is being shipped overseas).

Think you are stuck with Greyhound.

I remember trying to ship a bumper through UPS and they flat out told me they couldn't do it because the dimensions were too big. They said I'd have to find a freight shipper if I wanted to send it.

My cousin bought a bumper that was shipped by Greyhound and it came just fine. I think that is one of the cheaper options, but the only thing is the buyer will have to go to a nearby Greyhound station to pick it up.
