Shipping Tires - 01/04/10 03:58 AM
Anyone ship tires before? I have a set of 10.5x31Ws I need to ship to Oklahoma. Whats the best way to do this? Obviously you dont box them. Any help would be great.

Put one slick inside the other, a couple raps of tape with the shipping label under clear tape.

I shipped two tires last year. Fed Ex was way cheaper than UPS or the post office. shop around. we just put the shipping sticker right on the tire and sent em.

Fed Ex Ground is way cheaper and faster than UPS or the U.S. Post Office usually, especially if you prep it and drop it off at a Fed Ex Ground location

We ship LOTS of slicks. For us U.P.S. is WAAAAY better than FedEx. They (FedEx) proved to be VERY unreliable for us. U.P.S. was always a day faster on delivery and pricing has always been very similar. The post office was the worst on big items for us. We switched everything over to U.P.S. Not sure how the experiences vary so much but U.P.S. is far better than FedEx for our shipments. We just put the label on the box and tape over it although if you have a box you save the "non-box" fee.

U.P.S. now has a Saturday del option. We use it a good bit.

every package I have shipped I checked both FedEx and UPS FedEx has always been cheaper and always a day faster than UPS.
