I think a shipping company would be more qualified to answer your question.

i have done that...they said $900 dollars for a 30lb box....that is BS...oh and what is a good guess on a box with recaro seats, steering wheel, guages(3), cluster, and harnesses? 25lb-30lb

size is also a factor, not just weight. ;)

I wonder if shipping your self to japan in a crate big enough for you and a lazy-boy recliner would cost more than an airline ticket

Unless the seats are sub 10 pounds each (very doubtful), you're way off.

dang...so what am i looking at? around $900.

[doctorstupid]

Just about the lightest seats on the marketare going to weigh in at 15 or 20 pounds, a steering wheel could be 3-5, and then you also have to account for shipping material and all that, and engine harnesses are pretty weighty, could be 10 pounds on the high side. Either way, though, $900 is outrageous, expect to pay 1/10th that if you go through a realistic shipping company.

I've shipped some stuff internationally, and size is more important than weight. Large and/or irregularly shaped packages are really expensive.

just depends on how fast you need your things. i tried to send a metal optimus prime, still new in the box back to hong kong and they wanted 85 bucks for a box that weighed less then 8 pounds. that was via air and i'll get there in 7-10 business days. or i can send it via boat and it was 25 bucks, but it'll take a month to a month and a half

ok thanks so For two seats, seat harness(not engine), steering wheel i am looking at around $200 by boat? my friend is going i backed down to be able to spend more money...so i wanted a good guess on shipping.
