HI there thanks for looking in here. I bought some leather seats off Ebay at a really good deal!


but im in NY long island. The seats are at least 300 pounds all for seats + door panels. I priced a few shippers conway roadway ect.. it will cost between 375$ and up :(


Im thinking about flying down renting a suitable car and driving back up? am i crazy? But the cheapest flight i found for one way is 200$



please just flood me with ideas :)

thanks,

shawn

if i were you i'd just ship it... but i'm a lazy bastard... :D

my friend bought red S2000 seats to replace his black one... but his drive was only from Los Angeles to San Francisco... so its not as bad as your dilemma. :(

^^^^ sums up my thoughts

Whereabout is it? There are usually good deals from LGA to Orlando.

If it is orlando, Spirit and AirTran have sub-$150 one way flights.

shipping < $200 flying ticket + gas money + car/truck rental

You should have found local or at least considered what the shipping was before bidding. You can find a lot of good computer deals on pricewatch, but if their shipping is $25 for a small video card, then forget them :p

It will cost you an arm and a leg to ship UPS. Use the links I gave you, and work with the seller to get the items packaged correctly.
