anyone ship seats before what was you method of shipment

I was looking at a bigger wardrobe box from uhaul and packing well. Not sure if freight boxed up and strapped would be a better method??

I had a box made up from a box co here in town. I was able to put both seats in the one box. I shipped them UPS. IT WILL TAKE TWO GUYS TO HANDLE IT BUT UNDER THE WEIGHT LIMIT. Robert

You can find shipping calculators on the FedEx, UPS, USPS & DHL websites...they allow you to enter weight, size, etc. and they give you all of options/costs.

I put my two Ultrashield Seats in a UHaul Wardrobe box. The size was 22x18x48 I believe. However, I had to do some reinforcing to make sure it didn't come apart during shipping. FedEx and UPS will charge you a $67 fee for an over sized box. Expect shipping to be expensive if you are shipping any distance. Weight wasn't as much of a factor as box size was.

To reinforce the box I used automotive upholstery spray adhesive to seal the flaps on the bottom of the box. Then I put a reinforcing piece of cardboard over the flaps from the inside. Then I taped the hell out of the bottom. I needed a box 36 inches high so I cut the ward robe box down by slicing the corners and turning it inward. Then I taped the seats together and used some foam blocks to keep the seats from moving around in the box.

I once bought some, and they were shipped through Greyhound.

I've shipped larger car parts before and it definitely seems that FedEx is almost always the cheapest.
