Sorry I forgot to get back to you this weekend... They weigh in at 30 lbs and shipping would be $45 via fedex ground. These brackets already have all of the rivets and frame removed but still have the lower brace/bracket.
 
There must be a way to do shipping for less. Shoot, I just shipped a set of leaf springs for about that much. Will they fit in a USPS large flat-rate box? You might check Parcel Post and UPS ground.

I sent him a PM with that very same question the day he posted that, and still haven't heard back from him . Sorry I'm not gonna pay $45 shipping on $25 worth of product.
 
I never received your PM, but I can't ship for less than the company charges me. I simply weight them, measure them, then put the information into an online calculator. I wish I could get a better price. If you can get a cheaper price, I can give you the weight and dimensions and you can send me a shipping label to slap on the box.

I think worst-case with 30lbs and Parcel Post would be about $30. UPS should be a little cheaper. I just shipped about 24"x12"x16" box, over 30lbs for $32 with UPS.

But shipping is cheap if they fit in:
$15.45
Priority Mail®
Large Flat Rate Box
23-11/16" x 11-3/4" x 3"
12" x 12" x 5-1/2"
 
One bracket by itself won't fit in a flat rate box, much less both of them. The brackets are heavy and will require a box large enough for packing material to surround the parts and keep them from breaking out. 24 x 18 x 12 is the smallest box where I shop that will fit these parts. That box will cost about $5 to buy with tax.

I get $51.83 via the UPS ground online calculator. You have to use my zip code as the origination point, they charge based on how far the package travels as much as weight. It would be cheaper going from MI to TN due to the shorter distance.

$35 via USPS parcel post (no insurance). But I can't ship online and would have to drive out of my way to ship from the post office since they are usually closed when I am off of work. If your not in a hurry, I can do that the next time I head that direction, I just can't tell you when that will be ahead of time. But you only save $5 on shipping overall and lose the insurance that FEDEX includes.

If that is still too much, I understand and don't blame you for not wanting to spend too much on stock brackets that are easy to find anywhere. I have been selling and shipping parts on this site since 2002 and have the feedback to back it up. I learned a long time ago, FEDEX ground is the cheapest and easiest to use shipping from my location.

Sorry I'm just now getting back to you I've been busy. Yeah I just can't justify the shipping expense on these. Sorry to drag this out, I never expected shipping to be that much but I didn't think you were trying to jack me around either I know you've been here for a while.
