Suggestions/help shipping wheels and tires

[sofa king]

I've got a set of wheels with tires, 245/45/17's to ship. Who has good experience with this? I need some ideas, going from MI to PA.
Not sure if I should pallet them and strap all or do individually... or what the hell?

Thanks!

When I've shipped wheels I used boxes, broken down (lay flat essentially doubled up) and cut out to size. Put one on each side of the wheel and just used packaging tape wrapping them around and around. Worked great.

That way works the best

Cardboard the face of the wheel, and shrink wrap around each wheel and tire, fedex

Shipped them this way before and no issues. However my buddy worked at the UPS store at the time and even with his discount USPS was the cheapest. So check into that but this was years ago.

Ok, this is really what I was thinking as well.
Curious if I do each individual, or pairs?
I'd think all four shrinked together would be too heavy?

one at a time

Those of you who have done, what was the rough cost and destination if you recall...???
Thanks!

Where in PA?

Pallet and dropping off/picking up at terminal might be cheapest.

I'm going to the racetrack outside of Pittsburgh on Monday but that's the other side of the state.

Tape cardboard to the front and back of the wheel. FedEx terminal, theFedEx Office won't touch them. FedEx.com click on "get rates", assume residential shipping. Having an account is worth a slight discount, maybe 5%.

I ship these at the FedEx terminal all the time.

So now you have to have cardboard covering all surfaces or they hit you with an extra $75 fee or something. Sucks. I bet $125-200 depending on weight

Yeah, I see that his location is way over by New York almost. I have a friend that also makes this drive so he may take them. Thank you!
