Shipping 4 wheels w/o tires... how???

Hi All,

I need to ship my BBS to Minneapolis and need advise on how to pack them (boxed or not, 2 per box ok?, etc...) and which service to use (Fedes, UPS, USPS...)

Thanks,

I've used UPS, they nave the correct size boxes, I did two at a time.
Any of the shipping companies should be able to get those boxes.

Do you remember if they were 18"x18"x18 or something like that?

after watching eagle-co94 box and ship many sets I know how to do it as good as him.


get yourself a large box, and do two wheels at a time.

you're going to roll the wheels in the cardboard and make a cylinder. but put some thick cardboard between the faces and edges for extra protection.

So, roll them after doing that and then tape it. Then just some strategic cuts to make a top and bottom and some tape and you're good.

repeat for other two

shop around for shipping.. go to all three online and see who does it for the lowest price, with insurance and decent rate of delivery time
