Pallet carrier is best. But we must be fairly cheap at Parcelfarce as I have 4 to 5 sets a week on my run alone. Without tyres you can usually send them in 2 parcels.

I priced up a set of wheels I sold on ebay with UK Courier Services, Express Parcel Delivery & International Shipping, came out to about £40. Buyer collected them eventually, but these seemed the best value.

I have used Paisley Freight Services - next day delivery and £25-30 for a set of four (including tyres). You must pack the wheels/tyres individually though.

Check out this listing on eBay: 280115354163

I had a set of four alloys with tyres to ship, so I just popped to my local City Link depot and they took them for about £40.

I used a courier in Risley, Warrington, just off the M62 when I sent a set of 4 wheels and tyres to Essex, cost me 18 quid

Same Day Logistics, or SDL as they are commonly known
