I had seats shipped to me in boxes. I'm not sure now which Co. it was but most major shipping co. can provide them for you.

I believe FedEx Ground is the cheapest method to ship. I got my seats from a member here, he shipped it UPS in 1 large box with each seat sitting on the other. Sort of like two of those L pieces in teris =). I believe it costs around 100 dollars to ship from FL to NY.

I've shipped seats in the past. Total PITA. I would suggest just taking the seats to your nearest UPS store and have them make boxes for you. Pretty simple and painless.

For Bigger Items like that, DHL is probably the Cheapest by a long shot. Best bet is to get a Pallet, Zip tie them down to it and Wrap them with Shrink Wrap and Card-board.

I had seats shipped to me, best bet if you want to find a box is go to an appliance store and get some old boxes from them. Then ground ship it.
