OT (sort of): Shipping tires/wheels question
Eric 31 January 2005 07:47:09
	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! Eric 99 TJ SE

I see tires shipped on UPS, rims will just increase the weight and the cost.

	I sold mine a few years back and dit it at one one of the MailBox's ETC . I asked him the cheapest way and we shipped them some kind of 3rd Class freight .. It took a few weeks but was fairly inexpensive. Ask your local shipping store about that. If the buyer is not in a real hurry to get them it would be an option.

	Kinda OT, but how much did you get for them if you don't mind me asking? I have a set of 4 OWL-package rims from my '99 that I still have to sell. If you don't want to say that's OK Thanks, Matt

	Wrap 'em in shrink wrap and slap a ups sticker on. They pay shipping so the buyer should have taken that into account when bidding.

I just remember how happy I was to get the space back in my garage. Probably the best place to go for a idea of what your set is worth is eBay's closed auctions. There is get an idea of what the market price is. Dean

	I sold my rubicon wheel and tire combo and shipped each tire/wheel for about $35.00... I covered the wheel with thick cardboard and pulled two 3 mil plastic bags (think 'yard waste') over each one, slapped a lable on it and sent it out from a Fed Ex depot. I sent it business to business, it was cheaper that way. good luck to ya. n.

	I recently sent an entire set, 5, of tires/rims from my BMW via UPS. They weighed in at roughly 30 pounds each. My local America's Tire outlet had received a set of really nice tires/rims for something, and these were wrapped with a sheet or two of carboard and plastic banding. They gave me the carboard sheets (round) free. I suppose I could have lifted them from the dumpster, but the guy cut them off and gave them to me. The local UPS Store cut loose with some small boxes to put the lug bolts in, and I picked up some shipping tape from Lowes. The tape I used is the clear variety, like tape in the dipsensor on your desk, but 2.5" to 3" wide. I wrapped each tire/rim assembly (technically called a wheel) with carboard on each side, and copiousw amounts of packing tape. I carried them to the UPS Store, where the clerk affixed packing slips and threw them on the back of the waiting truck. When I listed my wheels on eBay, there was a Shipping Calculator. All that is needed is the dimensions and weight of the wheel, and the Zip Code will determine the shipping cost. It really was very easy. Easier than telling you about how easy it was ... Total shipping was, in my case, just under $150. The Buyer paid shipping costs, and it was calculated right in the eBay Experience. Had I done it right, the shipping costs would have been separated from my item, and I could have arranged the shipping from my house. I maed it more difficult than it needed to be, kind of similar to what you are doing, and I had to write UPS a check. I could have used PayPal to collect the total sale plus shipping, then used PayPal again to pay the shipping. I screwed up and collected all from PayPal, but then had to pay from my chceking account instead from PayPal. Your aversion ot shipping is unfounded. It is easy to do, all you need to know that you do not know right now, is the weight of the wheels. Everything else you can find easily, or you can let the UPS Store do it all.
