Shipping Tyres

[Daston]

Hey guys,

I've shipped tyres before by just strapping them together and slapping a lable on them but I can't remember who I used. Anyone know of any company that allows this?

Thanks

Paisley freight usually comes up on here as good for moving stuff.

The last time I used the excellent Paisley Freight to ship four wheels, they asked me to package each one separately.

The last time I used them, they wanted all 4 on a pallet (the actual shipper who collected was TNT, in a rigid truck) - a few years back now though.

I used Paisley Freight to ship two 18” tyres last month for £29.99, booked online, collected on time - all good.
I wrapped them individually in this stuff and stuck a label on them.

It was actually APC Overnight on behalf of Paisley - guess it varies by area?

They are a booking company, the actual freight companies involved vary.

View Paisley Freight a bit like you might view ParcelMonkey, but for bigger items.
