Here's the weight and dimension info:

Driver Seat = 35 lbs
Passenger Seat = 32 lbs

Packaging will add more weight.

I think it makes sense to ship these in two separate boxes. Otherwise they are going to be way oversized. With the mounts removed, the smallest size box that the seats could fit in (each seat in a separate box) would be 32 x 22 x 21. The biggest box that The UPS Store sells is 24 x 24 x 24 for $9.75 each. I suppose I could combine two of these boxes per seat, but I'd need four boxes, and that's getting kind of expensive. Another option would be to patch together miscellaneous smaller boxes essentially to wrap the seat in cardboard and lots of tape. I can probably scrounge up enough free boxes to do this.

It looks like FedEx Ground will be approximately $40 per seat plus another $0-$20 per seat for boxes for a total in the $80-$120 range.

Let me know what you want to do.
