Default Shipping Question

Hi guys, I wasn't sure where to post this so if you could help me out or point me in the right direction that'd be great.


How do you guys typically ship wheels/tires? Fedex? UPS? USPS?


Any help is appreciated

Thanks in advance!

I shipped mine UPS. Was about 100 bucks if I remember correctly. That was just for the rims.

Rims and Tires...will cost you at least $150 or more. I've shipped rims and tires once a long time ago...I did it two and two in their own boxes because they have a 100lbs limit at UPS.

If they are high dollar wheels I suggest a pallet and ground freight service. You do not want to know how UPS and FedEx ground shipments are handled.

I've been in a UPS hub and I wonder how most of the stuff gets to its destination in one peice.
