Subject:      how to ship a rear hatch?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

I need some advise better then "call roadway". I noted that many have shipped transmissions on ebay, samba, ect for under $100. I've seen shipping on larger items in this reasonable price range.

How come when I contact online shipping companies I'm getting quotes for $400 to ship a rear hatch? Obviously larger in dimensions but lighter in weight then engines and/or transmissions.

Who knows a good way to get something from the east coast to Ohio affordably?

Thanks. Shawn
