Hey folks,

I made an Etsy sale. The person is literally the entire width of the USA away from me. UPS wanted roughly $400. No go.
I used Greyhound Bus, much cheaper but takes longer. I packed it really well, including some homemade crating made from cardboard, inside a 32" cube box.

Let you all know how it goes when it arrives. The buyer picks it up from their closest terminal, in this case a quick 15minute drive.

Wow. That's a first. Never heard of using Greyhound before. Hmmmmmm.......

Did you know Amazon started their own cargo airline ? They are testing the methods and may expand it.

Yep, treated the wood with oil enamel.
Didn't know about amazon. When I went to select for the custkmer that I used GH a whole bunch of other shipping services popped up that I didn't know about.

The chair did make it. Customer said the box was damaged but chair was not. All the way from coastal Ca to coastal NH. 24 days via greyhound bus.
