Shipping Front Seats and Back Seats

[kmart64]

How much do you think shipping seats would be? lets say ohio to florida? Also, do you guys have any ideas on a cheap shipping company? or how abuot freight shipping? I heard that is cheap. I have really no clue. Just give me some input please. Thanks!

strip the seats apart

i was going to say, if they were going to Indianapolis, i'm going there next week with my pickup truck to pick up an exhaust so i wouldn't mind taking them over there and delivering them for gas money.

hmm i hear DHL is cheaper than UPS but i don't know where there would be a DHL office in ohio.

also how exactly should I wrap the seats?

[Leung]

i'd probably get some of that brown paper and do a rough wrap with it to cover it up and then get some of that plastic pallet wrap(almost like cling wrap your mother uses in the kitchen) and go around the seats till everything is covered. since it's a seat, theres no hiding that it is one, so you simply have to use a reliable shipping company where their own employees won't steal them.

that plastic wrap will work perfect

[kmart64]

yea, I'll probably use the dhl service. Where do you get this pallet wrap or whatever? lowes or something? I've never seen this stuff except at the shipping stores lol. Thanks

make sure if they pick them up (Dhl) you look at the shipment receipt they give you to verify it say GROUND. I shipped some rims once and they accidentally shipped them 2nd day to Ny and wanted me to pay almost $500 for their error.

I'd go with Gemini's suggestion and check out greyhound first. DHL may be a little cheaper than UPS or FedEx, but I believe their size limitations are the same and a back seat is almost certainly too big to be shipped in one package. Freight is not cheap at all. If you paid a freight company to ship your seats, you need to have it picked up from and dropped off to commercial locations with loading docks to get the cheapest rate and that would still START in the $300 range; take away a loading dock from either end and it goes up around $50; residential address, another fifty, you get the idea. To get a decent rate per package with a regular shipping company, you'd need take the backs off the seats, including the back seat, and send each piece seperate, and then your looking at at least six packages, so that still ends up adding up.

[kmart64]

well the prices are almost the same, and people seem to trust dhl more than greyhound...

Bubble wrap, duct tape and use Greyhound.
