Can you help me find a shipping company to ship wheels?

I need to ship some wheels and I don't know of a shipping company. Can you suggest a company?

The shipment is to Hawaii by the way

^Some resources. Now for boxes, I'd go to a local tire shop, and I'm sure they'll have some leftover boxes from some blingin' chromies that they sold someone...just get a set of boxes off them, tape them up and ship.

I used them the other day to ship out 3 pallets of toilets, sinks, and a bunch of faucets. Wasn't too expensive.

now you guys know how much it cost to to ship a set of wheels w/ tires.. and think about how much vendors have to pay for parts to come to their door. haha there is no such thing as free shipping in this world. Either the shipping cost is already calculated in the price or plus shipping charges!!


DEATH to lowballers!
