I plan to purchase a door 94 525i. Does anyone know the approximate weight and the best way to ship it.

I think I read somewhere greyhound was the most cost effective?

Feedback please...

I wonder if the dimensions would work with UPS hundred weight?

Where do you need to ship it?

In any case, often if you can find someone who has a commercial account, you'll get some freight or parcel (if UPS hundredweight is an option) at a discount.

Greyhound would be but the max weight is 100lb. so hopefully its under that. It was gonna cost me around 90 to ship from cali to nc a 99lb package (LOL).

I have shipped a door with greyhound before. I shipped it ~250miles. It didn't weigh even close to 100lbs(no door panel but everything else was there). It cost about $35. I believe it weighed about 50-60 pounds. This is with no interior panel but all electronics and glass. Hope this helps.

I am just a due dilligence type cat that uses his resources.

Thank you though, you are appreciated!!!

not meaning to spoil the thread, but why would anybody buy/sell a door and ship it when you can get a used door for $100-125 at pretty much any junk yard? www.car-part.com in your area and you'll see.
Unless you can't find a door your color, I wouldn't mess with shipping.
