I'm trying to buy a roof rack that's in Florida. What's the best way to get to California?

Pad all the corners/sharp edges with cardboard & then double/triple wrap it all with the 18" wide plastic wrap you can buy at UPS stores. Greyhound Bus will get it to your closest bus depot in a couple weeks & they will call you to pick it up.

Yup, ship it on a greyhound bus. I’ve basically had a few VW’s shipped to me in pieces through greyhound, LOL! Dirt cheap and never an issue.
