Question Any tips for posting wheels

I`m sending a set of 4 wheels c/w tyres via Parcel Farce next week, I`ll be packaging them individually but having never sent anything of this size before I just wanted to Know of your experience. Is it true that its better to let the air out out of the tyres or is that a myth?
Gratefull for any tips.

Neil.

Seriously, I think when I bought my wheels from a SN member it cost £60 to post them from Scotland somewhere to Sheffield. That was via parcel force.

I posted 4 18" wheels plus tyres from Sth London to the Manchester (I think)area a couple of years ago - can't remember who with but pretty sure it cost me a lot less than £60......???

Anyway, in terms of the actual packing, I just boght a couple of rolls of bubble wrap and wrapped them up to buggery with loads of brown paper and plenty of tape. Then with marker clearly wrote the details on (and also stuff like 1 of 4, 2 of 4 etc...)

If you have boxes all the better, but I would still wrap them really well before putting them in the boxes - just to be safe.

Mine got there safe and sound.
