i need to ship the rear seat out of my boat. the seat is 57 inches wide 25 inches tall and about 25 inches deep. i would guess weight to be around 75 lbs. it needs to go from seattle area to oklahoma...what would be the best way to ship this? thanks for any help.

They don't require it. I wrapped a truck seat in plastic and then wrap cardboard around it. Got there OK. I've ship some (hitch) without anything but a sticker. You can check on line to see what's available and about the cost.

Wow, I went to the greyhound site, and they ship quickly. I wish the parts vendors would ship via greyhound. No more waiting a week for your parts order!!
