I just got an incredible $500+ quote from Mailboxes, etc. to ship a back seat from an F-body. Anybody have any suggestions how to beat this highway robbery to ship this thing to SD?
Thanks for any ideas.

Forward Air.
Terminal to terminal, it should be more like $50.

I also use FedEx Ground. You package, you drop off and they take about 5 days, but it's only about $45! Big difference!
The one I shipped went from Seattle to MI. for around $45 UPS wanted I think $95...
You can look up rates on line, track, and get all the location info on line.

Have UPS pick it up at your door as a one time pickup and it should be about $45.
