Greyhound - shipping to Chicago

[tofu]

It appears that Greyhound no longer ships to the Aurora, IL terminal I've used in the past. Which of the other Chicago locations is preferable for picking up a tuba?

Cumberland or downtown Chicago or 95th/Dan Ryan or the Markham terminal? They are all about the same distance from me. I think I would prefer to avoid the hassle and neighborhood of the downtown terminal.


Horn is coming from Florida and I've also thought of using Amtrak to Union Station, but it appears there is no direct train from there to Chicago and I'd just as soon avoid train changes for a boxed tuba.

I ship via Greyhound a lot but am not that familiar with the various Chicago area stations. Go to shipgreyhound.com and view the hours that all are open. That might influence you which station to use.

If you are coming in from the west or south, maybe you should stop short at a smaller station. I had a horn shipped to me once by Consolidated Freightways. DHL took a big box for me once, too, they have many locations.
