Shipping tires/rims

[Sawatch 8N]

I've posted some N hat rims & tires on the classifieds and was mainly looking to sell locally, Colorado & adjacent states, but have inquires from back east & midwest. Need info on best way to ship from folks with experience. TIA, Chad

every tire, rim or center i've had shipped TO me has always come in either on a pallate, or just as is, no packaging.. with a ups lable stuck on it.

Try UShip. Do a Google on it. Works well for me. Let them keep bidding on it. You do not have to accept any bids and you can set your maximum amount.

Thx, I'll look that up.

Wrap them in cardboard and stretch wrap (from staples) I've shipped many this way

Securely fastening them to a standard 40" X 48" pallet works for me. That way they can be moved with a forklift or a pallet jack.
Banding strap works to fasten them to the pallet. I wouldn't trust shrink wrap for something that heavy.
Be sure to check the shipping rates. It'd be better if you were sitting down when you found out.
