Where Do I Go To Ship Wheels/Tires?

I have a set of stock Tacoma wheels/tires and there's a lot interest for them in the US but I'm not sure how I would ship the wheels/tires? If you have any experience/input, just let me know. I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

you can also go to canada post and all those mentioned above. make sure that you weigh everything including the boxes that you'll be using for the wheel/tire set. after doing this, just go to any courier and tell them the total weight of your package and get a quote on how much they'll charge you. if you like their price then go wrap your wheel/tire combo and get it ready for shipment

Those suckers are going to cost a lot of money to ship. I'd rather sell locally if you can, otherwise you'll pay an arm and a leg to ship them. With shipping, the heavier it weighs, the more you pay for shipping. I'm going to estimate like $150 - $200 to ship tires and rims. It might be a little less, but not by much.

The seller always pays for shipping, so cost shouldn't be an issue,
i'd go with UPS or DHL.

I've shipped tires Via Fedex... but they were unmounted. just tape them together in groups of 2s and label them. I didn't box them or anything.

I've never shipped wheels...

The absolutely most cheapest way to send rims and tires to the US or anywhere else for that matter would be Grey Hound Shipping. Check their website they are actually cheap to ship just about anything larger. The downside is the person usually has to pick it up at their nearest Grey Hound Terminal or Greyhound SHipping Center. Look into it... other then that I would ship via Canada Post. I have sent Rims both ways.

Canada Post definitely ships them. Cheaper for the buyer.
