how much does an entire set of 4th gen seats weight? (estimate)

im giong to be shipping some seats out of a 94 Z28. They are the 2 tone(light grey/dark grey color) with seat track's(one manual,one power). How much do you think the entire set (the 2 front and rear seats) weigh? I some how crammed all of them into one box, but i dont have a scale and i want to find a couple shipping estimates..
anyone have any ideas?

UPS charges a premium for boxes that weigh over 70lbs.
Example, I was sending off a pair of iron heads in one box, total weight was about 100lbs and the shipping was $65. Put each head in thier own box and the total was $32 ($16/head).

your front seats are probably going to weigh almost 100lbs, so box them separately.

Also, FedEx ground is usually cheaper than UPS, so get a quote from them as well.
