Default How Much Does a Non-Airbag/Early Dash weigh?

I will be shipping a dash to another RL member for his experimentation and wanted to get a sense of the weight. My scale is inadequate and I am generally USPO phobic. Thanks.

The weight won't be the cost factor. The box size will determine cost, I think my dash was ~$60 through FedEx 2 years ago.

greyhound it if you can, will be like $20

For USPS you need the full dimensions because they can't total over 1XX inches in total.

For UPS and FEDEX the oversized nature will multiply the costing factor of the weight substantially making it expensive... as the $60 previous was noted.
