How to ship interior panels

[FastDriver]

Guys,

Been looking a looooooooooooooooong time for a nice black interior for my 91 hatch.

I think I've got a lead on a complete interior for $800, but it's on the East coast. The big question in my mind is how to ship it, especially the rear 1/4 interior panels. They're big and funny-shaped. Does anyone here have a good idea about how to move an interior across the country?

Thanks,

Chris

For that matter, is anyone here near Atlantic City, NJ willing to lend a hand?

My dad has been using Fastenal to ship stuff cheap. Put it on a pallet ship it from store to store. You can't be in a big hurry and use there website to request a quote.

Thanks. Haven't heard of that one. We talked and I told him just take it down to Fedex and let them figure it out. If that doesn't work out, perhaps Fastenal will.

He dropped $200 off for the seats I don't need.

After paying the man, he ran around to half a dozen places before finally getting a crate shipment quote of almost $1k. At first he was told $600, and I was going to pull the trigger, but just can't at that price. So, I'm reaching out to an owner of "parts farm" in GA, and hope he has a better idea. I asked til the end of the day to come up with something, but it's looking grim.

Just curious, where is this place in Georgia?

Hey Joe. It's in Lyons. https://thepartsfarm.com/

I would think you could box the majority of the parts separate and be less than 600

He said he tried that, and was looking at around the same price as crate. But, at that time, he was being quoted around $600. I ask him about that if we don't come up with anything else.

Ouch. Shipping is a bitch I guess.

 

[FastDriver]

Game over. Called it off. Disappointing. Haven't seen a clean black interior complete for sale in years.

Buy everything but the panels and dye yours?

 

[FastDriver]

Not likely. Maybe it's a dumb hangup but I want OEM colored stuff.
