Default Anyone know a cheap way to ship a bumper?

Long story short, ordered a replica from a vendor, got it, and it fit like... well it didn't. Vendor offers refund but only if I ship it back to them

Anyone know the cheapest way to ship a bumper and sideskirts?

FedEx Ground Service.

I shipped one from Miami to New Jersey, about $70.

Well I kind of don't want to call them out since they did offer to replace too but I just don't want to deal with the back and forth anymore and possibly running into same issue with the replacements. I had seen pics of another customer that had ordered one of the parts I did and whereas his was very good, mine were just not the same. PM me if you want details though.

^^ Agreed.

P.S. If the vendor isn't paying the return shipping, they deserve to get called out. They should pay for it.

But the receiver needs to go to the Greyhound station to pick up right? If so, don't know if the vendor will do that.

*** the vendor.. you have to go through the trouble of shipping back if they arent going to pay for it, the least the could do is drive down to greyhound and pick it up for themselves

You should make the vendor pay for the shipment, or maybe work something out on paying 50/50. You rear replica bumper does FAIL, best of luck on your next one.

since the bumper does not fit, you mind as well fold it up and ship it back to the vendor.

No it's not ShineAutoProjects
Shine's fitment is near perfect and they would have never gave Coolblue hard time on returning stuff.

No not Shine lol, kinda wish it was since yeah I'd have saved a few headaches since I heard I'd have no problems getting replacements quick from them if I did. Still waiting on a pm back from last week from these guys to confirm a ship address
