Hey...I have a set of rims/tires off my 2002 Sport Trac. If you scroll down a little you might find more info. How much are u asking for the seats?

Was asking 400 obo but would do a straight trade for wheels and tires

 

[Michael Strachan]

I would consider doing that. Where are you located? I'm just wondering what the shipping costs will be for us...

 

[V Ro]

these aren't leather FYI



I live in Skokie IL 60077 just outside Chicago. i think you can ship anything on a palet for $100 cross country.

 

[Michael Strachan]

Yeah, I know they arent leather. I'm more interested in the two front seats if you're willing to seperate them (if not, I understand). I'll have to check how much shipping is on the rims to 60077 (my guess is around $150 or so).

 

[V Ro]

where are you at?



It should be as much as shipping all the seats.



If you find someone that ships on palets it shouldn't be more than a hundred. Just stack the tires and tie them down

 

[Michael Strachan]

I'm in Huntington Beach, CA (92647). I've never heard of shipping on palets. Is that safe for the seats? Will they be damaged when they arrive?? How long is shipping on palets going to take?

 

[V Ro]

From what I guess they come by and pick up what is on the palet (sp) and put it on their truck as they head accross country. I will call my buddy today. They do not stack the palets so everything should be ok. i will wrap them up on the palet to keep dirt out.

 

[Michael Strachan]

If the shipping of the seats on the pallets works out good and they wont get damaged or torn or dirty, then that sounds pretty good. I'm going to go pick the rims up today and see what shipping them regular will be. If it's easier, I'd just package the rims up and ship them like that. Let me know about the pallets tho.

 

[V Ro]

He said you can ship those tires for about 15-20 a piece thru UPS that would be the cheapest way for you. I guess to see how much from your UPS to be sure. It will cost me about $110 I think to ship the seats. I am going to try to get them over to him to weigh them to be sure.

 

[Michael Strachan]

Sounds good...so we're looking at a direct trade here, including shipping? The price for shipping through UPS sounds cheap...a single rim and tire weighs quite a bit. I'll double check that for you later today.

 

[V Ro]

Seats for rims and tires...sounds like a deal to me...I want a wheel(s) and tire(s) and you wnat some seats. both probably taking up room in the garage.



Are tires and rims in good shape?

 

[Michael Strachan]

Yeah sounds like a deal to me. The rims are in perfect condition. The tires have about 65% tread left on them. They'll be perfect to pull out of the box and bolt right on and drive away.

 

[Bill Geiger 2]

If this deal falls through, I got a set of 16" premium wheels I'll trade just for the 40% seat. If you are interested let me know.



The rims are in really good condition one, has a small ding on the lip where the balance weight goes.



No tires though.

 

[V Ro]

do you have pictures of the rims?

 

[Michael Strachan]

The only pictures of the rims I have right now are the ones in my library. I'm down in San Diego for the weekend but when I get home, I'll be picking up the rims and I can get more pictures of them then. As for the pallet shipping...how long will it take for the seats to arrive once they are picked up? What company is this through? I will probably just be shipping the rims UPS or something like that because I'm not very familiar with the pallet shipping.

 

[Michael Strachan]

Ok...I just checked online and it looks like shipping 4 boxes with 1 rim in each box will total out to $140 through USPS. FedEx was around $160 and UPS was over $200. Delivery time looks to be 6 days. Any word on the pallet shipping for the seats?

 

[Freddy Gonzalez]

You might want to look into shipping with Greyhound bus line.

They are a lot cheaper then the other big guys you mentioned.
