Your best bet as far as price goes is greyhound or fedex. Make sure you wrap them with more than just shrink wrap. I would wrap them in bubble wrap and box them.

Thanks for the info. How do I go about calculating shipping price? What's your recommendation on the best way of packing . . . how extensively do I take it apart?

I put the seats ,console & hardware in 1 box 30x30x30 & ship the frame seperate, fed ex. Or you can go greyhound & leave it all together but the most you can insure a pkg for is $300
It usually costs around $75-$100 to ship these seats fed ex

t korinek, wancosc356

Thanks for your reply. It's now posted.

t korinek is correct. The most you can insure the entire package, via greyhound, is for $300, unless you ship them in separate boxes, then each box can be insured for $300 each.

Those are some very nice seats and if I was buying them, I would want them shipped via fedex and insured for the full purchase price.

As far as packing, like t korinek said, take the seats off of the frame and try to get them all in one box and put the frame in another box. And with those seats, I would overkill on the bubble wrap and make sure they are protected well.

BTW: Any chance you have any extra buddy bucket parts, i.e. seat sliders or center seat mounting tabs.
