Can someone hook me up with some cheap rim boxes? I might be selling some and would rather get 4 boxes for cheap/free rather than getting raped by UPS or FedEx for boxes. If someone on here can help me out, great If it’s not possible, oh well. Thanks. ---

try greyhound shipping…hands down best prices for large/heavy items only drawback is the receiver has to pick up from their local station. when i was shipping hoods…no one would touch it for under $150 greyhounh shipped them for me & the most i paid (to texas or Cali) was around $35…& in some cases they got there next day (pgh to NY, philly, etc…) ---

wrap them up like discount tire. cut circles out of pizza boxes, cellophane the shit out of them, wrap two together with straps. cost me $27 to ship two wheels to arizona thru fedex. IIRC the total was like 28lbs. fedex is IMO by far the cheapest. i shipped a complete mountain bike to NorCal for like $40. not some super light XC bike, a full race weight Intense M1. the whole package was like 62lbs ---
