Default 799 head weight? For shipping

Hey does anyone know the weight of one 799 head complete with valves and springs? I found a deal on a set but can't seem to find this info.

I also just shipped a set. Alot has to do with the box dimensions. It cost me $62 to ship from Ky to Tx via UPS.

If you know anyone that has a business and does alot of shipping, they may have a bulk shipping account. They pay a flat rate monthly no matter what's shipped, as long as it's not truck freight.

My 243s were 26# a piece with valves and springs, so the 799s should be in that 26# ballpark, give or take.

x2 on this idea. It'll save you a little bit of $$ and it never hurts to ask.
