OP - are you shipping just wheels or wheels and tires? I have shipped literally dozens of SETS (4) of wheels/tires, as well as many tires and individual wheels. I may have more to add depending on what you're shipping.

They will only get a delivery signature if you request or insure it. Otherwise they will be left at the door.
Mine too.

FedEx has that same list - you have to request it at your address. I have done it for mine, they still slip up sometimes and leave things, but you can assure they'll pay if they leave an item and it gets stolen even though I've requested that no packages get left. If it's insured and they leave it (it's under the driver's discretion), they can't prove it was delivered and you'd get paid.

When I shipped my rim and tires. I put them in boxes with 4 pieces of cardboard over faces of rims and but some hard cardboard in the corners. 4 boxes like that and shipped them using my ups work account. The buyer received them perfect.

$100 if you don't declare anything, which also means if they leave a package and it gets stolen, lost, removed, or delivered to the wrong person w/o a signature, they pay the $100 (has happened to me twice now). You can insure for over $500, but this is the disclaimer:
"Alert: One or more of your packages has a Declared Value greater than $500. Therefore, "Direct signature required" has been pre-selected for your shipment. You may choose another signature type."

I have shipped with fedex before and ups. I prefer to used fed-ex and if it is a residential address, then it becomes a home delivery. I always insure the package and request a direct signature.

Last I shipped FedEx Ground, they said that I can't declare/insure more than $500. But "online" quotes allowed me to declare more than that. Werd.
