Replacement Bumpers

If you’re reading this article, it’s likely that you’re on the lookout for a replacement bumper. Depending on the state of your current bumper, getting a replacement for it might be at the top of your to do list or it might just be something you’re planning to do in the near future. So, how do you know the difference? Usually it’s pretty obvious.

If your bumper is falling off the vehicle, has large cracks, dents, or chunks missing, we recommend that you get a replacement bumper immediately. Driving with a broken bumper could put you and the people around you in danger. If the damage is this serious, you’ll need to either repair or replace the bumper before you get back on the road both for your safety and the safety of those around you.

If your bumper is only scratched or mildly dented, you might not immediately need a new bumper. Bumpers are the most commonly damaged pieces of a vehicle as they make up the front and the rear of the car. If your bumper is damaged, it’s also important to make sure that you take care of other damaged areas close to it, like censors and warning signals, lights, and the vehicle trim. It is a good idea to replace any bumper that has any dents or scratches immediately if you can.

Bumper Replacement vs Bumper Repair

The biggest difference between bumper replacement and bumper repair is usually the state of the car. If you have a more mild collision with scratches or small dents, you might want to consider repair before replacement. If a repair is going to end up costing more than a replacement, then obviously a replacement is the right choice. However, replacement bumpers are surprisingly inexpensive.

To know what is possible for your specific bumper, you’ll want to consult a professional. Additionally, there are plenty of factors to consider when estimating the price of a replacement or a repair. The cost will depend on the extent of the damage, the type of vehicle you drive (including make and model), where you live, and the material of the bumper.

Specifically, for replacement bumpers, your final cost depends on whether you get it from an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or an aftermarket bumper. Both are good options, however aftermarket bumpers are going to be less expensive.

Why Folded Bumpers?

If you’re not a car person, you might be unaware of the shipping practices for car parts. Many companies choose to ship folded bumpers to their customers for practical and economic purposes. Vehicle bumpers are generally pretty large items to ship, so they often must be shipped by air freight. This can quickly become expensive for the customer, as the cost of shipping via freight often even exceeds the cost of the bumper itself.

Shipping items by freight can take a lot longer than regular ground shipping as well, and loss and damage rates for products shipped this way are higher too. This is why folded bumpers are so advantageous to buy. Folding the bumper makes the item compact enough to qualify for ground shipping.

Since these bumpers can ship via ground shipping, which usually takes one to five days to get to the destination. This is considerably better than waiting weeks for it to arrive by freight. Additionally, the shipping cost is mitigated so that customers can save. Essentially, folded bumpers save time and money for our customers.

Bumper Shipping

Shipping can be quite expensive, so folded bumpers are a solution to this problem. By qualifying for ground shipping, customers can potentially save hundreds of dollars on a replacement bumper for their vehicle. And the process of unfolding the bumper is pretty simple as well.

To unfold a bumper and return it to its original form, all you need to do is apply heat to the object. You can either set the bumper outside in the sun for a few hours or, if you don’t have access to an outdoor space that won’t be bothered for a few hours, you can apply heat with a heat gun.
