three main choices... UPS. FedEx, or the post office. You will need in all three cases to box the item up securely and they take it to the nearest office to be weighed, measured, paid for, and finally shipped.

Personlly, I prefer UPS. They do not mess around with you when an item gets damaged. After what they did to me after that fender REDZ shipped me got damaged, I will never use them again.

There you go.

Once packed, go to your local UPS FedEX, Canada Post, DHL and fill the forms than your set.

UPS sucks my balls. Items take forever and are expensive to ship. The drivers are assholes too.

Fedex is my main shipper now, just make sure you package stuff well. I could have packaged that fender better for Mad Machine now that I know how to ship with them.

Greyhound is good for a BIG item.

greyhound is great for big items. I have shipped both a convertable hardtop (about the size of a miata's) and a rollbar that was too large for both UPS and FedEx for very little money. The only problem is that the person you are shipping it to, must come to the bus station to collect it.

Canadapost has been excellent so far for me. Xpresspost is a good value, it includes $100 insurance, it's fast and the tracking is included. I believe it can be tracked on the USPS website as well if your sending stuff in the US

Awesome guys... about all of my questions are answered, thanks. Sorry, didnt even bother to search for a DIY... i thought to most people it would just be basic knowledge so noone would talk about it...lol

Now, if i dont have a paypal account or a credit card, whats another way of sending and recieving payments? Money Orders for sending/recieving?
