Well if your up to splitting the drive, I can do that. I will be retired March 1st, so traveling would not be an issue. I know and I hate that the shipping is expensive, but it is what it is. FedEx sets the price, based on distance size and weight. To be quite honest, I hate shipping them. Not that anything has happened yet, I’m always afraid they will get damaged during shipping. It only takes that one time of someone doing something careless. I fully insure them, just in case.

One of my favorite seats is on its way to California. It is a 77-80 Camel Tan Tilting Benchseat, orginal Foam was used, which was in excellent condition.

I've worked for UPS & FedEx, those seats are too big and heavy for them to toss around (especially FedEx). 2 people have to handle them.

Doesn’t mean that can’t be damaged another way, hit with a forklift or something. I shipped a grille once, and that is exactly what it looked like, that it got ran over.

Depends on who you ship it with. Grills (light) are easy to throw around, throw on the floor, etc. That big heavy bench is big and bulky and hard to throw around. But yes it too could get damaged, but it is harder to damage because of the size and weight.
