Shipping tires

[tommymac]

wasnt realy sure where to put this so here goes. I have a set of takeoffs i am selling to a friend of mine. Only thing is shes down in louisiana and I need to ship them down there.

Now do they need to be in a box to ship or I can tape them together the way soem of the dealers do. Also any idea on wht shipping would be from NY to LA.

if you tape them together there is a surcharge with ups not sure on other shipping methods 2 tires ny to lousisiana im a box GROUND roughly 26.00 got that from my ups computer at my job

Can you shrink wrap them? I don't think mine have ever come in a box

tommy, tape them together and put them in a clear plastic bag and ship them UPS.. dont ask me how i know this

I received tires on Friday, in a box
first time i've seen tires show up in a box.

Tape them together and ship them USPS. No need to put them in a bag or box, and it's cheaper then UPS. I've shipped quite a few tires this way and no problems.

Technically, per the extra charges I've seen on the bills, UPS charges more if your package is not a cardboard box.


you could put one in a box and the other in shrink wrap and give it a try

or get a one-way ticket to Florida for $80 (US air) and check them as your luggage.

I work for UPS, bag them

it wont be considered an E-Reg then.

Just don't use UPS, they suck.

Problem solved.
