Is it still possible to ship via Greyhound?

Read something on the internet about Greyhound ceasing it shipping services Sept 30th 2022. Is this true?

You can ship through Fastenal as it is really cheap also. It used to be pretty easy when all their stores were open to the public, but now they are only distribution points, I am not sure how it works.

You can go online to Fastenal and make out a shipping quote and cost. You then take your package to Fastenal and they will then ship it for you.

Fastenal changed the name of their service it appears, here's the link to more info. https://www.fastenal.com/fast/blue-lane-freight

Also, for what it's worth I've had a lot of really good success with Pirate Ship when shipping things recently, even large bulky items, enter the box dimensions and weight & destination and then it gives you all the options from all the carriers around.

Re: Is it still possible to ship via Greyhound?

I have shipped twice with Blue Lane Freight (Fastenal) with great success. They have a few specifications that must be followed but overall it's a simple process if there's a location near you.
I had a pair of doors shipped from Denver CO to East TN....$300.00
the standard freight quote was nearly 3X that.

I checked about a month ago and it says greyhound ended its shipping operations.

I think the Fastenal shipping is hit and miss. It is not available in my area

Try Pirate Shipping .com . I have found they are the best for larger / heavier items
