Remove the backs, wrap each of 3 items in bubble wrap followed by clear shrink-wrap then go to Greyhound.

On this site after you enter the from to and fairly accurate weight and dimensions, you can select to view all options. The bottom two shipping options have to be paid at the post office, and are amazingly cheap. Like 80% cheaper than fed ex.

I have had a fed ex acct for years and am getting ready to get a usps acct.

I just tried a box that was 30 pounds 40 L 10 H 20 W from Arkansas to Northern Cal. 30 dollars.

good luck on yer seat!

Have the seller try a body shop as a source for a very large box. If he can get it all in one box, it should ship Greyhound for about $65.

Pays to shop around. I sold a AutoMeter gas sender unit to a guy in Hawaii and was shipping it from Denver. It was in a box 3"x3"x18" and weighed 3/4 lb. UPS quoted me $48.00 and I told them to stuff it. Went to USPS and shipped it for $5.00.

I shipped a fender (bubble wrapped & shrink wrapped) to SoCal via Greyhound for $80.00. It arrived fine.

Greyhound is probably the cheapest method.
