Wheel/tire shipping
Hey guys,
I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this thread, but I have a question for those members who've sold rims w/ tires over the board.
Based on experience, what company would you prefer using to ship your wheels and tires? My concern is safety for the product and a great price. I hear DHL is very cost efficient.
Thanks in advance

We actually no longer ship wheels/tires mounted and balanced due to the fact that we've had so many problems with the product getting damaged. When a customer orders a special order wheel and waits 3 months for it and one of them gets damaged, it is very upsetting to the customer to have to wait another 3 months for the replacement. It's just not worth the headache and inconvenience. Just make sure you pack the crap out of it.

i've used FedEx ground with good luck for at least twice for wheels and tires shipped from coast to coast. i've done my own research, can't beat their prices.

I've had a wheel/tire combo shipped to me through UPS. They came in perfect shape. The front and back of the wheel was protected by foam and cardboard, and then just shrink wrapped on there so the tires were exposed. Can't really hurt rubber in shipping, so it worked out great. No need to get big boxes either.
