Idk where I read that these were 12lbs a seat, but they're actually around 18. That's without the aluminum brackets. Just fyi

All aftermarket seats are weighted without brackets, most seats are lighter by a good margin than factory but once you throw on rails/brackets/etc you only shave a few pounds typically.

Also, if the seat is the wrong seat than what you ordered then they need to pay to have it shipped backed AND get you the correct seat. Also, if this one was used to display & let people who come into the shop/store test sit that is still "new" but should be sold as a display unit which typically goes for less than new. May not have been installed but since people sat, tested, and probably farted in the seat you need to challenge this.

If Jay sticks to his story that is fine, but move up the ladder at Vivid and try to speak with others about this situation. Also, Vivid invested in Status Seats a few years back (there is a thread on this forum about it), basically Vivid I think owns the majority share of Status now.

Vivid owns Agency Power and most of Status, so strike both those brands from your list. And the guy at the head of the ladder is a scumbag named Dan Mermelstein. There's no point going up the ladder, because the owner is a lying, scamming little weasel. He has been for well over a decade.

Ah, good to know.
I have heard they have had issues in the past but never knew much about it.

Yeah I don't take side mounts or the base when I weigh seats. So it was legitimately ~17-18 lbs. The seat was actually a Standard Ring seat labeled GT-X. However, they gave me an expired FIA label. Any idea what I can do about that?

It's surprising how they can still be in business with customer service that terrible. :/
