Incorrect.

BMW OEM Bumpers must be shipped freight (or Greyhound Freight).

They cannot be shipped via UPS, FedEx or USPS as they are too large.

BMW OEM F30 MSport Front Bumper box is 78” x 28” x 28” and about 30 lbs

BMW OEM F30 MSport Rear Bumper box is 69” x 37” x 26” and about 20 lbs

Put either of these into the FedEx or UPS Website and see what it tells you.

Jason@Tischer Specifically told me he would match Bumper prices 5 months ago but also warned that all bumpers need to be shipped freight.

Yeah...I was incorrect.
$200 is WAYYYYYY too much. It depends how you do it. If you're determined,
and you're creative, you can ship a rear bumper (let's say a 435 Gran Coupe
hypothetically), for about $20-$30. Ask me how I know.

Or better still, call Husker BMW on Monday and ask them.
https://www.bmwdirectparts.com/
And Oh! BTW,.. Fed-Ex can ship bumpers, as long as they're securely packaged.
Not sure about UPS but I'm sure they'd manage the same.

Ok, how

They cannot be shipped in the original box. And they cannot be shipped via FedEx or UPS with more than 1" of protective covering around the bumper as that puts it over the dimensions that FedEx or UPS will take.

And if you chose that route, don't expect any damage claim as it's not packaged properly.

One has to love all these know it alls that talk big about shipping and fall flat on details.

Soooo....your just going to take screen shots of what the web-site's standard shipping calculation is going to be?
Is that supposed to prove something? Save it....

Like I originally stated, somewhere like what you're showing at around $186 is absolutely normal for an oversized item.
But ..actual shipping charges won't be confirmed (especially if you're also ordering some smaller items) until you get the E-mail
confirming the order and/or adjusting it (if deemed necessary).

What I'm describing and was carried out consists of cutting up actual cardboard boxes and carefully hand-wrapping the bumper in them.
This route isn't for everybody, but for me, I'd done something like this a few years ago with Husker and had no problems,
..so when the need to save a few bucks arose again...

Edit: Want to add that this was just for a non-painted rear bumper cover.. not something like a full MSport front bumper
that may or may not have additional inserts or other complications.

So, the company you recommend overcharges on their web site.

Good to know.

Then again, there is no way they rewrapped and send for $35

A rear bumper alone is 62" x 32" x 22"

Figure an extra 2" for cardboard and wrapping in each dimension.

64” x 34” x 22”

Unfortunately, that is too big for FedEx or UPS. Still has to go freight.

In fact, put in the base 62” x 32” x 22” with zero additional for packing.

Still to big for FEDEX or UPS Ground. Still needs to go freight.

Largest FedEx Ground will take is 60x30x22

So you going to cut 2” off 2 dimension of the bumper and have no packaging?

And just to be clear, shipping a 60x30x22 package ground from Lincoln to NJ is $291 after you remove 2” of bumper.

So you keep posting....with nothing to back it up.

Talk is cheap. Facts do not lie.

I guess you didn't read what I stated about the fact that what the web-site says is the normal charge, or as you stated, FREIGHT.
But they don't HAVE to be shipped that way.

A bumper is on the CUSP of being an oversized item. Meaning, there is some leeway. Don't you think a volume business
like an Internet dealer has some pull with Fed-Ex to make a few exceptions? If Fed-Ex doesn't kick it back to them...
..then it GOES. And mine was shipped ground.

And BTW, you don't know me...and I have no reason to make up stories.
I AM stating the facts. You on the other hand, are quoting ridiculous default Internet shipping calculations, and again,
there is nothing factual about that. I can post my E-mail receipt from last month when I get my hard-drive back
later this week, ...if you'd like.

That is the most ridiculous thing posted on this thread and shows you are clueless on any of this.

No, volume customers cannot change FedEx rules for shipping. FedEx cannot waive dimension rules for variety of reasons, not the least of which is their sorting equipment and labor contracts.

When dimensions larger than the above FedEx Ground/Overnight dimensions are entered into the system, it is automatically switched to FedEx Freight at Freight Rates.

Large Customers get a break in price, not dimensions. And I can guarantee you my Company spends more with FedEx Weekly than HUSKER BMW.

Again, I am posting evidence.

You are posting internet BullShit as proven by your not telling how to ship for $20 - $30

If you were charged $20 -$30, it just means that they ate the rest of the shipping charges because you purchased from them.

That does not mean you, them or anyone can ship a bumper for $20 - $30.

Touchy touchy ...aren't we. "Your" company, huh? WTF do you know about how much business Husker does or what their relationship is
w/FedEx? Gotta tell ya', ..I don't know what your 'company' does, but if it has to do w/auto parts, that lays any question to rest about
why you're so upset. Its a Capitalist society we live in ...get used to it.

Like I said, I'm happy to post my E-mail receipt later this week, but after this post I'm done repeating myself. All I bought from them
additionally was Floor mats, a windshield washer fluid reservoir strainer, a small interior cover for a rear taillight and a keyfob emblem;
all of which they taped to the inside of the bumper. Did they eat some of the shipping? Maybe, but if so..., it must've saved them
SOMETHING by shipping 'Ground' or else why bother?

Besides, I'm not in the business of shipping auto parts, but I CAN tell you what I paid.
You don't have to take my word for it, ...you can get their number. Instead of getting your panties in a bunch, and since you own a company, why don't you reach out to them and ask how they manage such a thing? Surely, you don't think Vic @ Husker is going
to LIE and tell you he never shipped at such a price? Surely, we can't all be BullShit artists,... can we?

1) I know the only Company with BMW in the name doing $1.5M Weekly with FedEx is BMWNA.

2) You’ve said you would tell us how to ship a bumper for no more than $20 - $30. We’re still waiting.

3) If Husker BMW is eating some of the shipping costs (just as ECS does for orders over $49) that still does not tell us how to ship a Bumper for $20 - $30. You are paying for it in the total, whether it’s $0, $20, $49 or more. And that doesn’t tell us what you promised to tell us....how to ship a bumper for $20 - $30.

As a bumper is at the limits of size for FedEx and you claim it only cost HUSKER BMW $20 - $30 to ship, that would mean the average package would run $5 -$10. That means Husker BMW would need to be shipping 150,000 - 300,000 packages a week to meet $1.5M+ of Revenue to FedEx per week.

If you think Husker BMW is doing that, you clearly are a BS Artist.

Anyway... I tried to purchase the MPPK, and shipping is $2100... on top of the sale price of $1240.... Kind of hard to click submit for a $3300 bill when it shouldnt cost more than a $100 or so to ship. Anyone else experience this?

Not worth it when my MPPSK costs that much installed with carbon tips. The MPPK should cost about half that installed.

That’s ridiculous.

Get another to match price.

What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? That tells me nothing about Husker's relationship with FedEx.
Only that its possible BMWNA does more business with them.

I'm sorry you're having trouble reading. Please re-read my post #30 where I clearly describe what they did. It's called:
GROUND-- That's spelled G-R-O-U-N-D. That's where the weight of the bumper itself is the only thing involved? Guess what?
They are pretty light (and flimsy).

About $100 more than the bumper. My receipt confirm will detail this.

This has nothing to do with how many packages Husker ships per week. And I never quoted any specific amount of revenue
required for Fed-Ex in order for Husker to do what they did. Why should we believe you that that's a requirement? What's certain
is that they're going to save more by not shipping as FREIGHT.

Please stop re-asking the same questions over and over...you're really going nowhere with this due to your inability to comprehend
my point. When you see my receipt, you'll realize you're wasting thread space, though at this point I fear you'll find some other
reason to disbelieve me.

Yup...but sometimes when I went into the site there were multiple shipping options available instead of just a default
(which I believe is the really high $$ option that you're experiencing).

1) Buy from somewhere else and use a CC that has a price match/protection benefit.
2) Use credit card price match/protection benefit on BMWPartsWarehouse price.
3) Profit!

GROUND

G-R-O-U-N-D

At the max dimensions FedEx allows for ground.

It’s not $25,

And waiting for you to tell us how anyone can ship a bumper for $20 - $30 as you previously promised.

If your answer is purchase a $600 Bumper from BMW Husker, that does not answer what you promised.

As for what BMWNA has to do with it, you apparently are ignorant of the way volume works. Shipping $1.5M a week with FedEx gets you discounted rates.

Problem is, no amount of net shipping per week can get a bumper down $25 in the FedEx system. And as previously stated, if you think BMW Husker does over $1.5M a week in shipping with FedEx, you are the greater fool.
