Is this an Fbody body kit? (shudders)
But ya usually it will be pretty pricey, you can't fit it in any type of small box. So it goes in a box that is atleast 4ft long and 4 or so feet wide. So that is what is getting you raped on charges.

Yea usually it will be that much, I know I was goin to ship a hood but it was goin to be over 200 with insurance. The companies themselves get discounts b/c they ship so much but for average people like us were pretty much SOL

Believe it or not, you might wanna try shipping it through the Post Office. You'd be surprised how much cheaper it is to ship larger packages through them. I do it all the time with car parts & artwork.
Another good idea is if you work for a large corporation (or know someone that does). If it's like where I work, I get the company discount when I ship items through work.
If you're looking for a good rate (other than the Post Office), use DHL if they're available in your area. They give us the best rate at work, and they have great service.
