Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello All, Need to ship 4 wheels across country. Looking for any advice on least expensive way? Thanks in advance.

POST 2Original post

Just shipped 4 Lobsters with tires via UPS, cost about $62 bucks each, from NY to Chicago. I wrapped them like Tire Rack does, no problems with damage that way. Just be sure to use plenty of foam cloth under the cardboard discs.

POST 4Original post

I cut the smallest box I can get them in down to size and just ship them. Haven't had any issues that way.

Greyhound comes up a LOT - but it's not the most convenient mode (you go to a bus terminal on each end)... UPS Ground is the next cheapest, but it ain't CHEAP. Figure $1.50ish a pound... If they've got tires mounted and the tires aren't good, pull them off... This is great packaging - Tire Rack sent my 20" BMW X5 wheels with snow tires mounted this way. UPS lady didn't speak to me for a week or two, though.

POST 6Original post

Go to Home Depot, buy the large cardboard moving box. Buy 3, they cost about $3 each. Place large rear wheel and small front wheel in each box and cut up third box for buffer between wheels and top of box. They should ship for about $75 anywhere in US. I shipped two sets this way and it works great. If you want to be super safe, buy some bubble wrap to seperate wheels along with the extra cardboard.

POST 8Original post

I actually just shipped 4 wheels with tires from NJ to Indiana. Packaged them like Tirerack with cardboard disks to protect the rims and the plastic strapping tape to hold the packaging together. Cost was under $100 by FedEx ground. Biggest thing is the packaging. Some of the above suggestions sound good as well.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for all the tips. Happy Holidays!

POST 10Original post

I just shipped some 997 rims with tyres. If they have tyres, layer of bubble wrap on the face followed by a round disk of cardboard then I used pallet wrap to go around and coat them. Fairly cheap, lights and doesnt change the dimensions all that much. If they dont have tyres then boxes are the way to go.

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for all the great tips. I was getting tires for wife's X5 and was able to score 4 nice tire boxes. Now on to packing and shipping.
