Interesting... I recently sent a German tilt from San Francisco to  Philly.
The receipt Greyhound gave me had a tracking number plus insurance was
available. To my amazement, the item arrived in about 5 days.

Over the  years, I've sent bumpers, brush guards, seats, Weekender fridges
and safari  roof baskets. All made it to their destination with no drama.

Not  saying they have no issues. Only that I have had zero problems using
Greyhound  freight even as recently as a month ago. I have no personal
connections with  the company besides being a satisfied  customer.

i guess i should have typed "YMMV" but ive had similar bad experiences with
 greyhound..
