4 alloy wheels and tyres courier?

[p1tse]

Any recommendations and do they need to be packaged, wrapped or can they take it as is individually?

Thanks

+1 for Paisley freight.

Shiply? Got 4 wheels/tyres delivered from Devon to Hertfordshire for about £50 a couple of months ago.

Thanks

Paisley was mentioned by someone before

I did a quick google and saw a bad review but then again they have lots of positive feedback on eBay

PF will probably sub it to one of the major couriers, usually for me it's either DHL or Citylink that collect. You will need to package the wheels.

I have used Paisley Freight twice in a few weeks.

1st time they did not show for a collection. However re arranged the next day and delivered the next day. Second time went without an issue

thanks

how do you package alloy wheels and tyres together?

[Mr SFJ]

Interlink are good. I've sent loads of packages, some small, some large, and some V expensive products via them and they've been brilliant. Lost one package (didn't have insurance) phoned them up and they reimbursed purchaser.

I've used a few, usually Parcel2Go and Paisley Freight.

They need to be wrapped in cardboard, as 4 individual packages.

Parcel2Go is good because you can often drop at a depot, but I had a complaint this weekend where they quoted £23+vat, took all the details then added £10 on at the very end for a collection fee!

I'd happily drop at a depot, but didn't have that option.

So I went back to my usual, Paisley, and I'm currently sat in the house waiting for two sets to be collected.

Main pain is waiting in for them, but delivery service has been excellent, usually delivered next day before 12ish and for less than £35.

I use direct courier solutions a lot with work.

I've used Paisley Freight in the past. Good service and reasonably priced.
First (and often, only) place I go for shipping car parts.

is there a courier who would take as is without packaging?

the seller wants an additional £35 for cardboard and bubble wrap!
which for the size required is probably about right

[beanbag]

I was wondering exactly the same thing...only I would need the wheels delivered from the UK to Spain.

I've not looked into costs as the seller hasn't provided any dimensions yet but they are a set of 18" alloys with rubber on them. Anyone done this before?

I've sent tyres only via Paisley just as is. If you have unmarked alloys though then they probably won't stay that way for long unless you protect them.

There's no need for bubble wrap - just use parcel tape to tape a couple of bits of cardboard over the faces of the wheels to stop scratches/chips....I've sent lots like this with no problems.

it's just what the seller is saying to me if following guidelines.

yes would be happy if it was just cardboard and brown tape on the front, but then it's a risk of buyer and seller.
