Re: Any suggestions for shipping a windshield?

I have shipped many large parts thru Greyhound Bus. I have not shipped a windshield glass but I have shipped two pickup doors, engine hood and a couple of other large body parts for an 72 full sized Blazer that I am restoring. The cost to ship parts from CA to NY was very reasonable and shipping was very easy except for pickup. The problem comes that the seller has to take the item to a Greyhound terminal and the buyer needs to pickup at a Greyhound terminal. No home pickup or delivery. Not a big problem if both the seller/buyer have access to a nearby terminal. Buyer pays the shipping cost when you pickup the item but seller/buyer can get an estimate from Greyhound ( I forgot the process but you can get info from a terminal or online). I've never had a problem since the item travels in the luggage area of the bus but if the item has to make many transfers from the seller to the buyer, things can happen if the glass isn't packed properly. Just my two cents but a source to consider.
