Bogged, thanks for that but the price of the only seat was a Mastercraft non reclinable seat with lumbar support is $1678.00 each, this seat from Quadratec is $464.00, and for the reclinable Mastercraft Baja RS with lumbar support is $576.00 each with free ground shipping to Washington, where USA to AUS shipping will ship for $250 for the pair. I am not having a dig but the prices for us to buy here is insane, importing your own seems to be the way. For those of you out there there is a compamy that ships from Wahshington to Pimpama, just north of the Gold Coast for a really good price, for example they will ship a tyre up to 40" for $35.00 each, this means you can save up to $150.00 on each tyre, depending on what you are getting, same for wheels, for example 1 Procomp wheel approx $175.00 US and if you spend more that $500.00 US they usually have free ground shipping to any of the lower 48 states, then add $35.00 for shipping that is $210.00 per whell, instead we could pay up to and beyond $400.00 per wheel here, so what Im getting at is if there are any good places people know of that have good seats at a good price in AUS please let me know, like wise anybody who has US seats in their JK please let me know, because I have shipping sorted, I just want to know what people have in their JKs, I wanted pics so I can see them, and prices of what they got and from where, so I can make a good educated choice on what to get, likewise anybody who has had their seatd reshaped, and recovered, the same send some pics and where and how much it cost.
Thanks

You might have made better progress if you checked a price you doubted.
We did have the seat listed on our site but the price was incorrect (long story but was based on xrate of about 6 years ago and costed from being air freighted out.
If you have your freight "sorted" that's nice, but you can't fairly compare local buying costs to private import the way you are.
I can also assure you it cost me personally WAY more than $35each to ship 40" tyres out not that long ago.

Sorry but just further to this - the price on our website was for a PAIR not each.

Wooders,
Sorry my bad I did not read the web page properly, I was not trying in any way to bad mouth you or anyone, and I will look again at what you have, because if possible I rather buy the product and have it in a couple of days, but in saying that I spoke to the guy at usatoaus.com and he told me personally he would ship tyres up to 40" for $35.00 each to Pimpama on the Gold Coast. He imports cars and he says he offers the price because he allways has room in the containers for extra parts, the only thing being there is a 10 to 12 week wait for the container to arrive and go through customs. Once again I was not tyring to be rude I just did not look at your web page correctly.
Yeahright
