Re: Any suggestions for shipping a windshield?

I've not yet gone to/called UPS/Fed-Ex but I've been crunching some numbers and called a glass installer. So far, what I've come up with is ~$490 for new glass from Safelite installed (they have ONE in stock nationwide). If I were to drive up and pick the glass up myself, it would cost about $460 in travel costs (gas and hotel, not including fuel for the squishy meat bag behind the wheel). Add to that the cost of the windshield and the cost of install ($125) and it becomes very economical to get the new, wrong color of glass.
I still don't know how much it would cost UPS/Fed-Ex to ship it but I would be surprised if it is cheaper than the ~$500 it would cost me to get it.

Anyone with bronze glass be interested in meeting me halfway?
