use royalmail mate, would be cheaper (i would have thought), but its all based on weight, so get the bloke to weigh each wheel, add it together + a few 100grams or so and get it priced up

hmmmm yea could be

its about 10 quid per 20kilos + a few quid for insurance (up to 500) using their standard service, or you can use the recorded delievery

But it will probably cost you about half a ton to send them

I just sent a set of 17" Momo GT2. quite heavy, bubble wrapped the alloy part and put it inside 2 black bags and selotapped them.

Parcel Force 48hr = £61.25 for 80kg.

you can pick an hour window between 2.30pm and 5pm, they will pick up from any address too!

Don't use Royal Mail. If you send them recorded delivery a- its going to cost a bomb, and b- its only insured for up to £28. If you use standard parcels, you've got no proof of delivery, and if the other person says that they've not received them, theres no way you can find out easily.
Use Parcelforce, or Parcel2go. I sent four 18" AMG rims for about £42 with a two day delivery.

For the cheaper alloys you can send by standard parcel. You can add compensation for up to £500 for about another £2.50.

If you sent them individually by parcel force it would cost about £10 a wheel.

I know you can, but as already said, no tracking available and no proof of delivery. If I sent something that valuable, i'd want to make sure that they'd recieved it.

royal mail would be £12 for up to 20kg.

i sent my gsi wheels and tyres up to skinny. that cost about £50. (was a couple of nuggets either way, can't remember which).
that was with postvan.com (.co.uk ?) collected from any address in uk, and delivered to any address in uk.

it was an amtrak van that turned up though iirc.
