Recommend a wheel courier who'll package the wheels

[Mefster]

Just bought some 19" wheels and tyres to run on our Cayenne over the winter. I need to get them collected from the SW and the vendor says he hasn't got the time or materials to pack the wheels before collection.

I'm guessing taping a cardboard disc over the face of the alloy and then bagging them in sturdy plastic would suffice, but can anyone recommend a courier who is used to shipping wheels but will also wrap them up for me as well?

Thanks in advance!

I have used this method several times: get them sent on a pallet they will arrive with a pallet and wrap the wheels and they dont loose one !

Thanks for the speedy response, Mad4amanda.

Out of interest, what size wheels have you sent and what size pallet did you use? I was wondering if a quarter standard palate would suffice. (bit cold to go out with the tape measure just yet!)

mine were not quite as big as yours at 17" but with tyres I was sent them on a euro pallet and yes paid for a quarter .
it is to do with height as well so yours might be a half , I spoke to a lady called sue she sorted the whole thing out and they took 3 days on economy
