Question **Where/Which Service Do you guys use For Shipping?**

Hey Guys,

Curious when you guys are shipping out big items I.E-Wheels, which service carrier you choose? I usually deal with UPS, however I am finding them more so on the expensive side. Have not shipped wheels yet, so am looking for things to go smoothly.

Also- where would I be able to pick up some boxes to pack and fit 20's in WITH tires on them.

Thanks in advance Fellas !

FedEx is cheaper usually..if u have tires on them then just cut out carboard cutouts to cover the front and back face then saran wrap them excessively.

I use greyhound for big items or heavy, they are really cheap, but the buyer must pick it up at the station. There little more info to get from the buyer but it works.
