caliper weight

I recently installed new calipers on an 02 F250 5.4L 4x4. I purchased new ones from rock auto and am mailing back for the core. I'm mailing one rear caliper, and 2 front calipers. I'm planning on doing it in one box. I believe the calipers are stock original to the truck. I was wondering if anyone new about how much they weighed so I can do the mailing online rather than drive 45 minutes to fed ex. Please let me know if you have any idea. I was thinking they are about 30 -40 lbs all together but I could be way off either way.

The box from Rock auto might have the weight of the package on there. Or check with the shipping receipt. All my packages and orders come with shipping weights on the receipt no matter what it is.

Yea the problem is I had other things included in the shipment so the weight wouldn't be accurate.

If you're near a hardware store they'll have a nail scale I'm sure.

Bring it to the produce section in the grocery store and weigh it. Also, most post offices have scales for self service.

I just weighed an old front caliper for you, including the mounting bracket: 24lbs
