About the only way to ship it is to put it on a pallet. Should be able to fit on one pallet, and then you can either drop it off at the shipping terminal or have them come to you. It's gonna be pricey, but if you are shipping it to someone, they have to know that something that big is going to have to come truck. If you are buying it, then you should have known that too. Can't go UPS, they won't even touch it. Maybe FedEX freight, they will come get it from your house or business. Has to banded securely, and should be wrapped in plastic as it may go outside in the weather during transfer.

If it can be take it apart you could probably use UPS. Probably be several boxes,

leather rips so id get i on a pallett. wrap each piece individually with the foam roll stuff then bubble wrap then idusing the plastic strapping strap em together with a piece of cardboard between each piece fill the rest with plastic peanuts attach agood box with bracing over the top and plastic strap it to the pallet and call it a day. You may think its overkill but id rather pay for and bill a hundred bucks for shipping than have to give back the money that someone paid for leather seats and whatever ya do dont ship greyhound they stink i would go truck freight its better int he long run
