    Uship.com alternative?

    Last time I used this was about 3 or 4 years ago. Looks like they have gone a little more legit. You used to be able to get shipping quotes for just about anything.

    I'm trying to get 4 truck wheels + tires from WA to MT. Is there some alternative to Uship.com that I'm not aware of?

    uship still has a category for vehicle parts. That should cover wheels and tires.

    I've read of bigger items like bumper covers and exhausts being shipped via Greyhound freight. Don't know anything about it except that it exists.

    Pirate Ship (based here in JH, coincidentally) is amazing. I use it for everything. I haven’t tried really heavy things, though.

    Check it out.

    I've shipped bikes via Greyhound freight; easy and reasonable, but it's been 10 years, so it might be different now. Worth looking into.

    Thanks all. When I tried Uship last week it wouldn't give me quotes, but just now it allowed me to post a "classified" post for a hotshot to make a pick-up. Shipped a truck topper this way once for like $150 bucks from MI to MT.
