    Try and scrounge up some boxes from a wheel/tire place and just pack them with whatever to prevent them from shifting in the boxes.

    Re: Shipping wheels?

    If you have wheels and tires the best way is to put a piece of cardboard on each side and then wrap it in a garbage bag or a large roll of plastic wrap covered in tape.

    If they are just wheels you need to put them in a box, wrap them in bubble wrap and fill the box with peanuts or newspaper so they don't move around much. You can use 4 boxes or put two together in two boxes.

    And Fedex ground/home delivery is the cheapest and fastest carrier IMO. I have shipped over 12 sets of wheels so I'm pretty experienced with this.

    Uhaul also sells a special box for moving microwave ovens- double wall corrugated. I shipped two of those with two wheels each in them. Wrap the wheels in heavy duty trash bags, and fill with lots of peanuts.
    "Obsessed" is a word that the lazy use to describe the committed.
