Cheap way to ship wheels?
« on: July 13, 2011, 02:46:47 am »
I sold a set of tires and wheels mounted on eBay what is the cheapest way to ship them? There only 13 inch tires and rims but I hear you box each separate it's a lot, I also heard greyhound is cheap but I'm not doing that.. Fed ex put card board over the rims and ship them any other ideas and cost?? Thanks never shipped anything this big before..

i shipped 2 of the lightest wheels/tires possible and it cost me $43. they were 3.5" centerline convo pros and M/T frontrunners. that was the cheapest carrier i could find (UPS). both were packed together but since they were so skinny it was like one standard size box.
all i can say is it wont be cheap. budget $150-200.

unless you cut them up and shove them in a flat rate box lol  you will be paying a chunk of change.
