Shipping question.
Guys,
I've found a set of wheels and tires for sale, that I really want. Buyer is willing to help ship. But, the shipping charges I've found so far are pretty high, $125 per wheel/tire from SoCal to Mississippi. I've checked FedEx, UPS, and USPS. All pretty close in price. I will check into freight options in taking with him tomorrow, but don't know how much he'll be able to help.
Wondering if anyone has experience in doing wheels, and maaaaaybe came across great option not mentioned yet. Any insight will be appreciated.
Thanks,

You need for him to put them on a pallet and wrap them up, tie them down well and cover them so that you can't see what's in the packaging. Then he can ship them by YRC by taking the pallet to the terminal and dropping it off there. If he shipped to another YRC terminal where you go to pick them up, you will be astounded how cheap you will get them there. You can go to yrc.com and get a basic quote right Online. You can even do the shipping process right there online as well. You need to have the weights and dimensions exact. Or overstated is fine but do not understate or they will sock the **** out of you for the surcharge.

I have heard Fastenal has good prices on shipping.

We just went through this in OT and after looking at all options, YRC came out the clear winner in that thread. Search YRC in OT.
