I am trying to see if he really wants the tires, I think since I only have 3 decent ones I might do it without tires,


18x9 (2) 18x8.5 (2)

They arent very heavy because they are bbs's

what do you think dook

if you don't bundle them together it might be better you can check ahead of time on each website... dhl doesn't seem to handle sensitive items very well though i have gotten several things broken by them

best bet is to ship them in pairs so you only have two boxes... I think you can squeeze those sizes in under UPS's overage sizes....

if he ends up wanting the tires, don't use boxes, just strap 2 together using those plastic band things, faces inward with several layers of cardboard in between and a layer or two on the backside of the two barrels.

Sweet, that sounds like a good plan.

i shipped out a bunch of those
if they dont have stretched tires that needs 55psi to hold the tires i'd try to sqeeze ALL the air out before shipping them. way lighter that way.

Welcome to TNT (http://www.tnt.com)

we've been using them more than fedex and dhl lately...cheaper, and usually handle larger packages then the other 2 companies listed.....check it out
