greyhound insures and is trackable. They are the cheapest method for bumpers by far. Ive sent probably 10 bumpers through them. You dont have to have a box but they will not insure it without one. So best bet is throw them both in one giant box, because they dont really care about size, and youre out for under 100 bucks.

i'm about to use them to ship out my mazdaspeed bumper. quoted from CA to TX about $78. good deal through them. i haven't heard bad things about them. Of coarse though, its up to the buyer, because usually buyer will have to pay shipping

I had some bumpers shipped to me through Greyhound across the states and they made the journey in four days or so wrapped in bubble tape and undamaged for around $60 4 years ago.

Heres pretty much everything you need to know about them.
Where do I go to ship my package?
Major metropolitan locations will provide a separate storefront for processing Greyhound PackageXpress (GPX). If the GPX storefront is closed you may bring your package to the Greyhound ticket counter and a customer service representative will process your shipment. (Tip: Proceed to the "will call" section of the ticket counter, if available, to save time.)
What are your hours of operation?
GPX shipping centers and Greyhound terminal hours vary by location with many locations offering service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
How do I open a GPX commercial charge account?
Fill out and submit the online account application form or call 1-800-739-5020.
Can individuals obtain commercial charge account privileges?
GPX does not currently grant charge account privileges to individuals. We will, however, consider applications from individuals with home-based businesses on a case by case basis.
Can the recipient pay for the shipping charges at the other end?
Individuals are prohibited from shipping person to person "freight collect" at this time. Businesses and commercial charge account holders may ship freight collect.
How can I reach customer service?
By e-mailing GPX_Support@greyhound.com or by calling a GPX customer service representative at 1-800-739-5020.

I guess they must only be cheaper for oversize items. I got a quote for wheels and they are as expensive as UPS. DHL is the cheapest way to ship rims.
A friend of mine had a windshield shipped from Chicago to St. Louis. It arrived completely smashed. It was packed in a sturdy box and marked "Fragile", but they must have laid it flat and piled crap on top of it. So pack breakable items really well and mark them clearly if they should be shipped upright or are crushable.
