Auto Parts Shipping & Automotive Freight

The cost to ship auto parts depends on weight, dimensions, destination, and the carrier or freight service selected. Small parts under 70 lbs typically ship via FedEx, UPS, or USPS for $15–$80 depending on speed. Heavy or oversized components like engines or transmissions move via LTL freight starting around $100–$300+. At ShipMate+, we compare rates across multiple carriers to find you the best price.

For heavy auto parts over 150 lbs, LTL (less-than-truckload) freight is typically the most economical option. For parts between 50–150 lbs, UPS or FedEx Ground often offer competitive rates. Using the right box size to minimize dimensional weight charges also significantly reduces cost. ShipMate+ compares rates across 40+ freight and parcel carriers to identify your lowest-cost option.

Properly shipping car parts requires choosing the right carrier based on size and weight, packaging the component securely to prevent movement and damage, and generating accurate labels. At ShipMate+, our team assesses each part, selects the appropriate corrugated box and cushioning, compares carrier rates, and ensures your shipment is correctly labeled and packed to carrier standards before daily pickup.
