[ROVERNET - UK] Re: P6 Bonnet

[James Dean]

Is that Rover 3500 bonnet coming from Canada? UPS ships out of Canada to the 
US, but it is probably too large .I ship parts all over the country and 
world, and have found the best way to ship bumpers and bonnets is by 
Greyhound bus. If it fits under the bus, they will take it.It will need to 
be boxed; usually a furniture or appliance store is the best source. Several 
layers, with padding both sides will protect it, make it about a foot thick. 
Call greyhound and get a rate, then pay someone to drive it across the 
border, to the nearest Greyhound Station. it must be prepaid, they insure 
it, up to $300 or $400 and you must pick it up at the Greyhound station.
