Hey guys, having a difficult time getting a pair of stock seats shipped, the buyer has waited long enough, and i need to get him his seats. Everwhere ive tried says they are too large, or want to charge me $$$$$ to ship them. What other options do i have to get these things on thier way? Not to mention where do i find boxes big enough for them?!?! any help would be great!

^ What he said.
Bubble wrap them, then shrink wrap them, and just drop them off at Greyhound. Assuming the buyer has a terminal near them, it shouldn't be a problem.
I've gotten large exterior parts this way for cheap (i.e- set of 18" tires from Oregon for $50, stock front bumper from New York for $30, etc.).
Your other option would be to ship it freight. Assuming you are a near a major airport, you could find a company such as Forward Air, and they will charge you by the pallet. That's how I shipped my old Getrag to get rebuilt. It was like $90 for the ~150lb pallet.
But again, the next dilemma with that is that the buyer has to have a location near them.

^I'm in no way affiliated with them, but I've just used them in the past to ship heavy freight.

Try fedex. Im not sure what the charge was for shipping but id assume its reasonable since I bought a pair of clean black leather supra seats for $300 shipped. The seller shipped them to me from WI to CA 2 day air in two large boxes via fedex.

I used FedEx to ship a set a few months back. It was only about $130 for both seats with additional insurance. The package weighed in at just under 100lbs.
