Can anyone give me an apporimate cost to ship a set of 70-71 seats and back pad? I bought some but the quote I got from the seller was waaaay more than I expected.

I shipped my seats to be recovered as well as my back pad a few years ago. they fit in a small wardrobe box form Uhaul, AND they are just under the oversize limit for UPS orFedX (I forget). the seats can be "spooned" in the box, withthe 3 parts of the back pad nestled in between them. IIRC it was in the $20 range because they aren't that heavy! (box cost almost as much (again IIRC)).

I got seats from Renegade Hybrids and this is exactly how they shipped them(UPS). But it wasn't that cheap because the size of the box put it in an oversize 1 or 2 category. I want to say 2 seats were $45 and that was one state away.
