    Cost of shipping seats?

    Potentially may be shipping front/rear seats to Texas from Ca.

    My question is, what would be the most efficient way to go about it?

    i shipped 1 e21 recaro via ups for $45, i seperated the bottom and back sections and shoved them in the smallest box possible. i suggest you have a fedex accoutn or something as it does make shipping stuff cheaper despite what they say when you ask them about it. you could probably break the seats down into 2 pieces and stack all of it in one of the large wardrobe boxes from uhaul and send it out fedex, or maybe greyhound but idk what their size limits are.

      probably easier if you disassemble them into 2 pieces.

        Greyhound is by far your best option if the other party agrees to pick it up at the closest depot.

        I shipped a pair of Recaro buckets intact in a U-Haul wardrobe box together, one on top of the other with a piece of wood for reinforcement in the bottom from Chicago to GPS in NJ. It was a year ago, but iirc, it was like $85.

          I used this guide:


          to ship these seats:


          which weighed this much:


          and it cost me $115 to ship it across the country with greyhound,
          you just go to the greyhound bus station and ship it to their closest greyhound station
