Here is a post from another forum that might prove useful here:

A lot of people here have inquired as to the best and cheapest way to ship seats. Seats can be shipped to most locations in the US for between $200.-300. Depending on distance. For example I just shipped a pair from NJ to Fl for about $200 with packing material.

By yourself two of the tall U Haul wardrobe boxes and position the seat backs as low as you can and still fit the width of the box. The lower the better as you want to fold in the top of the box to make it as short as possible.

Avoid going over 40" tall as the prices jump significantly. Pack the seats well within the box and tape them up good with packing tape.

Now go out to Fedex Freight and fill a price quote form by providing the dimensions of your boxes. They are 24x21xthe height you got to. Just use 55lbs for each box weight. That is about right for most power seats. You will see in a minute that weight here is irrelevant as they are going to calculate a much higher dimensional weight anyhow.

Complete and print a label and affix to your boxes. You can also schedule a pickup online as well.
