Im not sure if this is in the right place, but what is the best/ easiest/ cost efficient way to ship rims? I know i've seen it before but after performing a search came up with nothing

I recently received a set that was shipped by UPS.

I know that some vendors use Fedex and I've heard that you can ship with Greyhound.

Good luck.

I bought a set of rims from a fellow CL member and he shipped them via UPS ground. I believe UPS came to his house, wrapped them in cardboard, and took them away. It ended up being about $30 per rim to ship them from the east coast to Chicago.

wrapped them in cardboard? came to the house? im lost.
Was it just rims or rims and tires?

Right. UPS came to the seller's house to pick up the set of rims/tires. When UPS arrived, the seller directed the UPS man to his garage, where he was storing the set. The UPS guy covered the top and bottom of each rim/tire with cardboard and then basically wrapped the entire rim/tire with clear packing tape.

sounds simple enough

Similar / related question.

If I wanted to buy boxes to ship wheels / tires (assume 25x25x12 ish size, think these are what my HREs came in), any advise on where to go buy them and / or estimated cost to buy?
