I'm shipping my rims and am looking for the best but cheapest way to shop another az member some rims. Any tips and advice is welcomed!

 

Greyhound?

Maybe someone here that has a job at carrier can help you out. I know there are some on here.

 

Do you know any of them? I'm trying to save this member some money. $300-$400 just to ship rims is way too much.

 

I bought rims and tires from another AZ member and he shipped them via FedEx Freight. I don't know what the shipping cost was but they arrived in great shape.

I sold and shipped one 18" A-Spec rim here on AZ from MA to TX via FedEx and it cost $26. $300-400 does sound out of sight, but don't know how you have them packed. Dimensional size can trump weight depending on how you ship it. I shipped it in the original Honda/Acura box and even though it has been a couple of years since, it hasn't gone up that much.

 

$26 a box? Or total?

 

Do a search. Someone posted a link to a company that he used to ship tire/rims at a discount. It's been a while, but it was on this forum...

Thank you, I'll take a look.

 

I shipped 4 XXR 530s wrapped in conti DWS for less than $100 with Shipnex.com. They pick up from your house and they use FedEx. They are a wholesale shipper. Google using shipnex to ship rims and you will hear lots of good stories. Great experience all around and would recommend them for all larger or heavy items and those that are odd shapes.

BTW, best way to package rims and tires is to cut thick cardboard the circumference of the rim and then tape it to the face of the rims both back and front and then wrap the entire wheel and tire in sticky clingy wrap. Cheapest way to keep the dimensions down too.

 

Both. $26 for one rim in one box.

 

Shipnex is the best way and its very economical.

JJh is on point on packaging. just follow the steps from The Definitive Guide to Selling, Packaging & Shipping Your Wheels, Rims and Tires and your golden. i have shipped several wheels before. and the convenience of them picking up from you is awesome.

 

I looked at ship nex, really good prices. I'll use them from now on. thanks guys.

 

I need to look into that, need to ship a single wheel from my other car.
