[weaselnoze]

i've got a set of 4 car rims that im selling for a friend of mine.  whats the best way to ship?  seperate boxes?  usps, ups, fedex, or dhl?

4 seperate boxes is the way ive always shipped them.  Unless you use a freight company.

A crate (if you have access to some 2x4's) can be a great way to ship them but it will be expensive, but so will shipping 4 rims in a box.  Call around to some freight copanies and get prices for a 150# crate.  Their prices are all over the place but I bet you'll find one that will do it for $100 to $150.

Where do you live, weasel?

If they're bare rims, you'd have the best luck with UPS.  If they're mounted with tires I would get a pallet and use RL Carriers.  Actually, considering the miniscule difierence in prices between UPS and RLC, I'd strap them to a pallet and use RLC just for the security.

Ditto on the security, but I'd just roll them out the front door and hope for the best.

freight companies are sometimes surprisingly affordable so check out both.
