Greyhound shipping

Anyone use it? Just heard about it and that it might be cheaper than other shipping. I was thinking about things like buggies not kites. Size restriction is 29"x47"x82"

Haven't heard of that, but I have heard Amtrak shipping is a really good deal for big items if you live near a station.

Amtrak limits to 3ftx 3ftx3ft boxes of 50lbs or less. Its mentions no odd shaped boxes. Pallets of 500 lbs or less are an option. And Amtrak can ship your bicycle and human remains. Interesting...

Grayhound, Trailways, South Eastern Stages, and all bus lines interconnect to get your shipments to their destinations. Charges are reasonable.
Just package them well and over insure them!
Also be at the station when your shipment arrives.
Security at smaller stations is not great. Bigger stations have secure fright areas.
They don't want the dead bodies walking out.:o
