I've shipped several sets of Wixom bags and other
types of hard bags for Guzzis (including ones with
chrome rails and racks) from the San Francisco area to
the east coast and they cost no more than $30 total.
To do it safely, I've always had to ship them in
seperate boxes filled with shipping peanuts, but the
$90 bucks is CRAZY!!! He's probably using one of the
UPS Shipping stores. He can buy two nice boxes for $5
each, a tube of peanuts for $5, pack them himself,
then go to FEDEX or US Postal, all for 1/2 the price.

For what it's worth,

GUZZAMBO

Office and find out for your self.
I shipped a whole a/c unit for an old land
rover(new, aftermarket hangs in
the compartment and made local in the Philippines).
Compressor and the whole
works...to P. Rico and it was less that that.
Shipped from Virginia via US
mail.

I get to the bottom and if hes padding it blow it
off and back out from the
rip -off and then put a nice nasty gram in his
feedback.

 Hey all, Looking for wisdom from the wise. I
just bought some
 
 luggage bags
 (and frame) form this guy in CA. He is saying
$92 to ship to me here
in
 
 GA.
 Sounds like a lot but I have to ask. I can't
imagine all the goods
that
 
 get
 around the US being that expensive. I know
that UPS is a rip off
 
 
 organization (from my experience and is my
opinion) but is this what
it
 
 
 costs to ship? Or is this another way to make
money on Ebay?
 
 
 
...Ian
