button and haven't been able to find the post that has instructions for shipping rims...anyone have any idea where it is?

Just use someone like UPS to ship your wheels. They'll even pick up your wheels and package them, all for a fee of course. You can get pricing off their site.

GMWNashville · 02-12-2008, 09:16 PM

ubern00b · 02-12-2008, 09:19 PM

it cost like 150 to ship mine, same "region" (east) - ground. UPS "packaged" them by putting cardboard cutouts over the rims themselves, and taping the tread. that was for 4 x 60lb.

sandyeggo325i · 02-12-2008, 09:22 PM

Did you just schedule UPS pick up? and they packaged it at your house?

ubern00b · 02-12-2008, 09:29 PM

i was the receiver. the shipper dropped them off at a ups store as is, and the ups store did the "packaging". i was not impressed by it, however the rims and tires arrived undamaged, so i can't really bitch too much.

Shipping wheels only generally runs around $35 each and with tires around $45-$55 each. It all depends where they are going and what company you use. Of course this is with your own packaging.

cipher5 · 02-13-2008, 08:53 AM

where can one get boxes to ship wheels like vendors use?

Back in a Subie · 02-13-2008, 08:59 AM

I am on the recieving end of the deal, but I just had 4, 19 inch rims/tires shipped from California to Michigan, $230, self packaged and droped off at Fedex Store, shipped Fedex ground. Uhaul Store has boxes u can use for packing!

hope this helps,

Shipping in the 48 continental states should cost about $160-170. It might be cheaper if you packaged them together (2 wheels per package).

Did anybody use USPS?
I got a quote on their site for a 70lbs 25x25x12" box from 76020 to 72756 for $18 regular parcel mail - 4 days shipping time. I need to ship a staggered set of 162s with tires.

Kalin · 03-06-2008, 12:13 PM

Yeah, I use USPS exclusively. $225 to ship four 19" rims priority, insured, certified. More expensive than other shippers, but my only option.

sandyeggo325i · 03-06-2008, 12:18 PM

USPS ships FROM portugal??
