I've heard Greyhound is good for larger things in the past, but those are gonna be huge. UPS might be a better option, but regardless, it won't be cheap.

OEM seats??

The OEM seats can be separated into 2 pieces, not difficult at all (or expensive) to ship when taken apart. I know people have used Greyhound, there's no way I would, I'd use UPS or FedEx and insure them.

I've shipped and bought several pairs of seats using greyhound- this is by far your best option for seats. Greyhound offers insurance too, and the time it will take to get there is just as fast.

Also I never took apart the seats. I just found a big box to put both of them in and put bubble wrap and paper trash all around them. It should not affect your shipping price because they go by weight as to what they charge you- as long as the box is not excessively huge- even for two in tact seats

That's impressive UPS and Fedex would charge you out the a$$ for dimensional weight.

You're buying them right? Why are you arranging the shipping and sweating the details? The seller should be boxing them up, contacting Greyhound and shipping them.

All you need to do is go to the local Greyhound station when they call and pick your stuff up!

contact greyhound I'm sure they have a shipping department or someone will guide you in the right direction.

I got this website using a search engine called google http://www.shipgreyhound.com/
