OT (sort of): Shipping tires/wheels question
 

I have stock rims/tires from a TJ for sale up on eBay. I specifically state
that I won't ship them. However, they didn't sell last time, and I had
questions about shipping. This time, after re-listing them, I have another
interested party -- but they want me to ship them. They are willing to pay
for the shipping, but I said it wasn't worth the hassle.

So, does anyone know what it takes to ship tires mounted on wheels? These
are the stockers, so they aren't huge. Where do you get the boxes? How much
is it per tire/wheel?

Thanks!

See if these guys can help. They are known for low rates, but not great on
protecting the cargo (package it well). I would think it would be pretty
hard to damage some tires and stock rims.

You should be able to ship them via UPS. Go to www.ups.com and search
for tires. I see tires shipped on UPS, rims will just increase the
weight and the cost. Try The UPS Store near you.

Re: OT (sort of): Shipping tires/wheels question
 

I sold the 30" stock tires for my TJ online. When it came time to ship them I
took some cardboard and put it over the front and back of the wheels and wrapped
them with the shrink rap that they sell in rolls to keep things on pallets.

The cardboard was there just to give a place to put the mailing labels. To say
I got funny looks at the UPS place when I literally rolled in with five 30"
tires and rims would be an understatement. However the guy behind the counter
didn't bat an eye. I don't recall what the shipping cost was, but it seemed
pretty expensive at the time. But as you have found out, folks are not standing
inline to buy stock jeep tires, and I was glad to have them gone.
