How to Ship Car Parts
Whether you’re buying or selling auto body parts, shipping car parts can be easy and affordable when you choose the right shipping partner. In this post, we dive into tips for packing your shipment to prevent damage and how to find the best and cheapest way to ship car parts. Common car parts that are shipped include:
- Bumpers
- Grills
- Fenders
- Hoods
- Radiator support
- Pick up beds
- Doors
More than likely, you will be shipping these parts on an LTL (less-than-truckload) haul. That being said, if you have a large amount of auto body parts that would fit into a full truckload, then FTL shipping may be the best route for you. Regardless, your freight experts at FreightCenter can help you choose the best option.

Is LTL Shipping the Best Choice for Me?
LTL shipping is a great option if you only have a few items to send because you only pay for the portion of the truck that your item occupies. When choosing LTL freight, it is important to note that your shipment will travel with items from other shippers, it will see frequent stops and it will be unloaded and reloaded several times throughout transit.
Therefore, it is important to pack your shipment carefully to prevent theft and also ensure that it will not be damaged along the way. Package your auto parts in crates or bulk boxes. Bulk boxes are designed to fit on pallets. The walls of the boxes can be double, or even triple wall thick, often made of corrugated cardboard. Bulk boxes have removable tops, and are best used for any smaller parts traveling along with the shipment. Larger parts should be packaged securely in crates for the highest level of protection.
