Default Who to go with to ship big items like a seat?

Well UPS won't take it and I doubt USPS will neither or Fedex. The size of it is too large. Who should I go with to ship the seat? Thanks for the info

actually, UPS has a sister company who will ship large items, you can call 1800PICKUPS and ask them for their number.

Mailboxes ETC., UPS store. It'll cost a little more than the post office but they'll pack everything for you the right way and insure items automatically for 100$ unless you want more.

fedex and ups will both ship seats. fedex's, for example, limit on express deliveries is 150lbs and about the size of a refrigerator. im ups is roughly the same. now if it is bigger than that u can always use fed ex freight which will take less than truckload shipments. and im sure ups has is same counterpart to that as well.

Well when I shipped my rear seats it barely met the size specifications and I know the seat wont. I guess I cant take it to the UPS center at Office Depo because they wont wrap it and ship it for me. That’s the problem I am having.

You can go on ups.com and see the specs they require for shipping. I guess I will call that number and see about their sister company. Thanks for the info...more welcome!

I use Greyhound for bumpers and large, non-collapseable items.
