I wouldn't want to ship seats either. Especially if I didn't have a vehicle that I could put them in to take them to the shipper.

Regardless of whether I think it's cool, the guy can charge whatever he thinks his time and effort is worth for the shipping. If I don't like it, I don't have to buy them.

If I wanted them and didn't want to pay $450 in shipping, I'd try to find a nice p-car guy local to the seller, give him a 12-pack of Miller High Life and have HIM ship them to me.

Agree. Not that one action defines a person but isn't your name worth more than $500?

I agree also but $500 is not the same to everyone. I have no problem spending grocery money on car parts. Maybe the sellers car fund is tighter.

I don't understand the issue with shipping seats. Two seats fit in my Jetta. Wrap some foam sheet on them then a layer of bubble wrap, two good boxes. I paid less than $130/seat for pack and ship recently.

Could you tell us a little bit about how you shipped those for that price?
I'm dealing with seats at the moment and would love some advice. Any would be great.
Thanks

A prayer for you?

I had seats shipped from Seattle to SLC UPS. Dropped off at a motorsports shop that routinely sells seats. They packaged each seat in a box with a bit of packing and UPS picked them up. I paid the shop ~$125 to pack and ship each seat.

I just checked the UPS website ... to ship two 20x25x38 boxes weighing 30 lbs each with a total value of $600 from SLC to Ft Lauderdale, FL is $235. Greyhound bus would be about $100.

I know that sometimes people ship seats in a [ahem] "69" position inside of a big U-Haul wardrobe box. I imagine that you could also ship one at a time in the same boxes.

those weights will work for "race seats" but stock seats seem to be at least 60 pounds each.

You do realize, he wants $500 extra for the hassle to ship, plus CHARGE you shipping on top of the extra $500.

My point is, get the value right before you post, don't upsell your self when you find you have a hotter then thought item.

It just comes off cheap, petty, & not in the spirit of the forum.

I understand. Take it on the chin, do the right thing, and learn from it. Confused as to how my comment doesn't convey the same sentiment but regardless, I agree yet again.

My point just was it's more then an extra $500, more like $700-800. That's all.
