I thought about selling mine but the box is humongous and UPS wants $88 for ground shipping.

Never go UPS for something that big. USPS is the way to go. I ship guns all the time and they are the cheapest even for the biggest boxes.

Thumbs up

The return address for that eBay dealer is a Ford Dealer in Pennsylvania. That significantly increases my trust level in the seller.

I used to sell tons of car parts but shipping costs have gotten crazy over the last several years so I hardly even sell parts anymore and I'm still sitting on a garage full of Grand National parts. USPS used to be the cheapest method for me too, but now FedEx is. But the nearest FedEx depot is 45 minutes away. But if I ship FedEx it also costs me about $10-$15 in gas to get there and back. To ship this box (ground shipping) it will cost $88 UPS, $114 USPS ground (standard post shipping), FedEx $62.57.
FWIW, I sold the HID headlights off my 2011 FX4 a few weeks ago USPS standard post shipping and the estimated delivery date was 1/14/15 and they showed up 1/23/15 so I'm not crazy about that method, but it was the cheapest method for me to ship locally, without traveling 45 minutes.

Yeah I was happy to see that. I bought "OEM Harley" tails for my 08 and when they got here they were Depo brand. Still good quality mind you, but not Ford brand as expected. These '14 heads and tails are genuine. I think its funny how dealers are selling on eBay. lol. It's good for us though.

That is insane. I know my Roush grill from my 08 got sold for pennies locally because of shipping a few years ago but things have changed here since then. Maybe its my business account I have with USPS, I really don't know. Maybe I will call my local dealer and see what the grill costs from them and avoid shipping.

Shipping is much cheaper if you have a shipping account, unfortunately I don't.

So it would fit my surround on my 2012 STX? Is the Ford Emblem the same?
Thanks!

I had one on my 2011 FX4.
