need advice on shipping
I am sending 4 wheels with tires to another fellow CL memember.
I havent sent stuff this heavy before so I wanted to know, what's cheaper and better. (the other member has to pay shipping so i want it to be the best for him).
should i use ups of fedex. ups tells me that they dont box the wheels individually but just ship them without boxes.
what's the best way ? p.s. the store hours are the same as working hours with thhe exception of saturdays. would ups charge more for home pickup ?
thnx in advance.

thnx for the input.
what about boxes ? i called ups and they say they usually ship wheels/tires without boxes.
where can i buy boxes that'll fit the 17" wheels with tires. I'll ship them individually boxed i suppose or two each which over one I can manage to find boxes for..

Hi,
Firstly - for the sake of the buyer - USE FEDEX!! Ask Sockfocks why!! Not to mention UPS are a lot more expensive. I have shipped wheels with tires for $30 each. You don't need boxes, just a lot of padding around both the front and rear lip. I have shipped wheels several times and each time it has been painless with FedEx. I have heard several bad stories about UPS.
