re: shipping wheels

[<eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jaime, your probable best bet for shipping the wheels would be FedEx. 
Usually about $20-$30 a rim, depending on type of rim. I use furniture 
boxes, however, for high dollar rims like Machine rims will go buy boxes at 
box places like Anchor Box for isntance, about $3-$4 a box, but they are 
new. Inside the box I also put extra cardboard on the bottom of the box. And 
will stuff the corners with paper so it will not bounce around as if you 
don't and the wheel bounces around it could damage it.

Fixing to ship a NOS B. F. Goodrich Spacesaver to California, San Diego 
area, about $40 to ship that but it is rim with tire however.

Something you could also try if near to you, is once a rim is boxed up to 
ship, take it to USPS and get a quote, then UPS then FedEx, that way you can 
tell your customer how much each is from all three places. Greyhound and 
Amtrak are two other ways to ship rims, but I'm not willing to drive 
downtown Houston to do that.

On the trans, I usually get a wooden plank that covers only the bottom of 
the trans, then use lots of tape to wrap it to the board. Heavy duty duct 
tape works best. Once done, then I will cover the whole mess with cardboard, 
your best bet is old furniture boxes you can cut to fit and then tape again. 
I have also used wooden crates found at furniture places, those work great 
but also add shipping costs due to weight. Others results and shipping 
methods may vary, like 1001 opinions on how to change lightbulb! Good luck 
either way,
