Best way to send some wheels to Canberra?

[mooseman]

A bloke brought some wheels off me and im looking for the cheapest way to get them to Canberra. I tried one or two mobs from google and they just stuffed me around. Anyone know a good way to send them?

[SnyperEB]

Bets way is to put em on a pallett thats what I did when I sent a set of sprints to queensland from Victoria!

[pHaT`eL]

On a pallet with shit loads of bubble wrap etc.. and i spose youd call it glad wrap tightly over it.

could also go to a wheel place and ask for some of the boxes they get the rims in.
then on pallet as well i guess.

[SnyperEB]

Depending on the size of the boxes you could always send em individually.

Strap em to a pigeon.

I was kinda thinking more of WHO to send them with. Like which companies?

[holmsy]

tnt?

Do they have tyres? If its just rims you can box them up individually and post them via aus post (depending on weight). Thats what I did when I sent a set of 17s off.
If they have tyres you can still box em up and post them via SmartSend couriers I think it is, they quoted me about 40 bux x4 (individually) and 60 bux x2 if I could box 2 together.

the rim's i sold (weld draglite's) with tyre's,
i just went to the post office (narre south) & sent them ! to cairns at that! cost was $180
each i did seperate...
bubble wrap.....


then some news paper....


on the rear of the wheel i had news paper , the center cap & wheel nut's in different bags, more news paper....


a thick cardboard disc on each side of the rim, & shrink wrap the f ker's....


then i put some a fluro sticker background with the mailing address on it
the light weight of the rim's helped witht the low postage cost,
they got to cairns a little over a week later (due to the flood's)
the byer was stoked with the rim's & had no postal damage at all

[mooseman]

hrmm they are 18s with just the rim so I might just send them like that...

[SnyperEB]

If you can get em on a pallett and to TNT your looking at around the $130 - $140 mark.

[mooseman]

all sent through aus post. $108.00 registered.

[SnyperEB]

Awesome $108 is pretty good.

[krisisdog]

Yep thats about right, the 17s I sent to melb were $20ea.

[SLY5LT]

it's funny but...i was quoted $240 at aust post narre warren, & when i went to narre warren south to pickup my shift kit from w.a they quoted $180 ........was told that some place's will charge top dollar unless you ask for the cheapest rate, or if you get a nice chick behind the counter
