Have a guy intersted in my rota d's that wants them shipped...Ive shipped wheelz before but never with tires....

Any cheap Ideas? Any packaging box ideas?

I usually just use a home depot moving box for the wheels, they fit perfect but that wont work with tires

 

Semi-deflate tires, cover the face with a piece of cardboard, cover the back with cardboard, shrink wrap. This comes to ~50/wheel

 

^^^^

That is definitely a good method. To make shipping cheaper, you can ship via greyhound, but your buyer would have to pick up the wheels/tires from his nearest bus depot.

 

Oh shoot...via greyhound...that's news to me. Thanks for the tip.

 

THIS! I sent a set of wheels with tires to Arizona via Greyhound and paid $89 for all... much more convenient than UPS and/or fed ex

 

+1 for Greyhound

 

Just called Greyhound for a 25" x25" x11" box at 50 pounds...they want 300 bucks.. thats more than ups! lol. weird.. Did you guys ship the wheels individually or in packages of two?

 

Something's off here. We regularly ship our body kits (56" x 36" x 24" boxes) via greyhound and can typically get them anywhere in the 48 states for under $100. The question might be whether they're charging you for 4 packages or one.

I've used UPS in the past, the pricing worked out almost the exact same whether you send as singles or in pairs.

The cardboard disks and shrink wrap method above works well. Don't uninflate the tires much because the tire is a big part what protects the wheels.

 

Maybe the greyhound has to pay some $$ to the mule?

 

Frijolee do you work for them? maybe the guy i talked to was retarted..He def didnt sound like hes from the U.S if ya know what i mean...

 

+1

 

greyhound is sketchy.... "oh yes, these wheels were a part of my luggage..." lol
