shipping wheels

[Frosty_SPL]

A kid on zilvia wants my BBS wheels. About how much does it cost to ship them? USPS, UPS, UPS Store, FEDEX?

Thanks!

Talk to Sonja. 1-888-551-0025

whatever you do, DON'T use the UPS Store. their affiliation with UPS is loose at best and they are notorious for charging waaaaay more than necessary to send packages. deal with UPS directly if you go that route.

Cool, just talked to Sonja, much cheaper than I expected.

Going through Fedexxx.

K-Fed-sExxx is the best. charge them at least $100 for shipping.

[Frosty_SPL]

Its gonna be 160, I told him 180. Hopefully he doesn't care.

[Greg]

oh dip that much!!!

Usually it is a little cheaper to ship two wheels together, so that you only have two boxes at the end. I usually find four boxes, one per wheel, then put two into one larger box.

[Frosty_SPL]

its wheels plus tires.

ship them in pairs, they are less likely to get lost that way. then put cardboard over the faces and inbetween the wheels and wrap them togethere in plastic wrap. then slap a sticker on each wheel, that way if the do get seperated the still hopefully end up in the same place. this is how rb motoring shipped me my wheels a couple years ago.

If you want I can dismount the tires before you ship them, unless the guy really wants the tires that are on there. Would save both parties some moolah and headache.

its wheels plus tires.

i dont believe you can ship wheels with tires mounted....or atleast they cant be aired at all.

[Greg]

I've shipped wheels/tires with air before. is that something new?

[P.Haire]

mine showed up with tires at like 35psi. cool jdm tires too.

yea tirerack ships wheels mounted and balanced so it should be all good.
