Greyhound Package Express

I have to admit I was a little nervous shipping 15 medium to large containers full of personal belongings from Boise, Idaho to Rochester, New York. With the shipping cost far beating UPS and other carriers, would I be getting what I paid for? By shipping space available would it take multiple days/​weeks for the total shipment to arrive? The helpful staff at the Boise depot said expect up to 10 days. I was flabbergasted when my daughter called 4 days later and said that all cargo had arrived safe and sound. We were so suprised and pleased. Kudos to Boise Greyhound cargo staff and the Rochester staff at the other end. Thank you

As an artist who sells art that ships everywhere, I am always looking for ways to ship art safely while keeping costs down to the minimum so that I can keep costs down to the purchaser. Greyhound Express is one of my new favorite things aside from my Iphone. If you are looking to ship a larger item for 4 or 5 times less than USPS or UPS quickly, then this is the place. The catch is, you have to take your item to the location downtown and then the person on the other end has to pick it up at their local greyhound station. I recently shipped a painting that would have cost 100 – 130 with insurance with any other carrier for a little over 30 with insurance! It’s crazy. And it’s generally overnight in comparison to 5 – 7 days with the others. You go to a separate area with a separate entrance marked «greyhound express» and it looks like a USPS type area and within a few minutes they take your item, load it in the area that luggage goes on a bus and it’s usually there overnight at the latest. The shipping center in Chicago is even 24 hours. The service at the counter is similar to an experience at the postal service. a bit slow, but in my experience it’s been friendly. I highly recommend it.
