Ok so I got in an accident, and found the entire front end for my car at a very good rate but it's a couple provinces to the east of me.

Whats the best way to ship, the wrecker says they will cut the front of the car off, put it on a pallet, and ship it, or throw it on a trailer for me, but I need to arrange shipping.
I'd even be willing to go down there, but am not sure if this would fit on a trailer.

What doy ou guys think? What's the best way to ship this?

It's in Winnipeg, does U-haul have something I could use for this?

U-haul rents flat bed car haulers out for pretty cheap if you dont keep it long. Freight carrier shipping ( skids, pallets, etc. ) is damn pricey without a favor type hook up

Call a trucking company. My rear diff showed up on a Manitoulin Transport truck on a skid...to my driveway. If there is a business around you get it shipped cheaper. I've also sent a transmission to Alberta from Ontario in a big rubbermaid container via Purolator..but for a front clip, call a trucking / logistics company.
