Wanting To Sell OEM Front Chin Spoiler- Help Appreciated

As the title states, I've decided I want to sell my OEM front chin spoiler. In preparation to list it, I see the shape is just odd enough that I am having difficulty finding a way to ship it. A box to fit it would be extremely large and very costly. Does anyone have any experience shipping something like this? If so, how did you do that and do you have estimates as to the cost? Thanks!

You should be able to pack it with a few layers of bubble wrap. I shipped an OEM chin spoiler (for a Sedan) like that and it shipped just fine.

Bubble wrap, good call, thanks a lot! As for local buyers, I live in AZ. Needless to say the market isn't as big as So Cal ;( A local sale would be much preferred but the market is fairly small it seems.

Yes it is, the factory OEM chin spoiler. Do you have an estimate as to what you were charged to ship? Again, I really appreciate your help.

IIRC it was around $50 or so. I guy on here in SoCal works at a shipping company and he packed/shipped it for me. This was from CA to TX.

The guy who sent the chin spoiler for my Lexus wrapped a couple layers of bubble wrap around the lip, then cut out long strips of cardboard to cover around the wrapped lip itself. There was A LOT of tape involved. You can just use old cardboard boxes you have in the garage, it just takes time to contort them and tape them together.

I can vouch for this method. I got Marcus' spoiler and the bubble wrap worked great. FedEx was like "WTF is that?" but I was happy so I didn't give a **** what they thought.

^ hahaha I can only imagine what they were thinking, but the savings in your pocket from not having to pay a pant load for shipping probably made things much better as well . Thanks for your input.

Yeah I got a good deal, thanks again Marcus.

You should make out alright since these are in high demand.
