Re: How do you guys ship your wheels? Cheapest way?? (chendawg)
I've sent a couple sets of wheels recently, 19s and 20s. Obviously it depends on where they are going, but I have found FedEx Ground to be the cheapest. UPS sucks, especially UPS Store because if damage does occur the UPS Store is considered the shipper since they aren't really part of UPS, so the real shipper and receiver get shafted when they ask for info...just a heads up so you don't have to go jumping threw burning hoops to get your insurance claim handled correctly, if it came to damaged/lost items.
USPS is the best in my experience for smaller items, never lost/damaged any of the thousands of items sent or received.
I boxed them in regular wheel boxes, les schwab was nice enough to give me some.
If tires are mounted you could probably get by with putting a couple layers of cardboard around the rims to help protect them and not use an actual box. Hope this helps!
