Hi,
I recently sent a set of wheels & tyres from Yorkshire to Kent with a local courier (19.8kgs each
). Cost me about £39 for next day delivery.
If I were you I would wrap them individually as each wheel and tyre are quite bulky & heavy. I just wrapped the spokes in cardboard & bubble wrap to protect them then wrapped the whole package in a couple of bin bags then used LOADS of parcel tape to ensure they stayed wrapped
I wouldn't have fancied being the bloke who openend them though lol. They turned up fine with no damage too.
HTH

Cost between £25 & £40
If you want to move 'em, give me a ring 07818 413 513
Currently working with the APC Overnight Parcels Network (well a company that forms part of that network)
Generally pretty good & a few thumbs up from people on here (daresay there's a thumbs down as well!)

Puff,
Can you give me an exact price for the four, from Farnborough Hants to Kings Lynn Norfolk,best price so far is £37.80 (Parcelflash), I can then let the guy buying thme know, who can then send me a cheque and I can then arrange moving them. All very complicated, (why he can't just drive down and get em ?)
Thanks mate.

Puff,
Top man, I'll let the guy know, and as soon as I've got the cheque from him I'll give you a call and arrange to get them shipped.
Thanks again mate, I'll be in touch.

I've just enquired the same, and the cheapest route was too do 2+2. Although this was for overseas shipping they all have set size and weight limits for the different delivery services and they all worked out cheapest in a 2+2 configuration. A local courier maybe slightly cheaper again.
