take care who you use... make sure its insured and you have the papers to prove it...
ive heard of a few sets of wheels going missing, one set went with an ebay seller that listed a wheel courier service on ebay.. they turned up on one of the other fourms i go on..

Yep it was this one but not used them myself but Markpark has.
Also if it's just alloys with no tyres you could get them sent in pairs with www.senditnow.co.uk from £10.99 insured per parcel as long as they don't weigh more than 30kgs per parcel. The courier is Parcelforce. Edited by g60steve - 01 Aug 08 at 17:46 |

for just rims i often use the post office as a pair together is normaly 14 quid standard parcels..
i know its a bit more but if your like me you find it hard to be in the house waiting for a collection then royal mail can be an easy way..

How did you get on with these couriers?
I'm just trying to sort one out to collect some wheels for me - wondered what the service was like.

Hi,
Used senditnow in the end. Four wheels,centre caps and tyres (14 inch Carravelle-the round hole type) for £22 insured.
Had to send them in two parcels to get them in the size /weight limit and had an interesting time getting the seller to let the air out of the tyres(but air dunt weigh nofink mate)
Use senditnow a lot,they once lost an awning-although they compensation came through very quickly.They aren't exactly careful either I have seen them throw parcels in the back of the van with a lot of force even when they knew I was watching
 Was going to use the other courier to send some 18" merc rims/tyres out,but the guy came to collect them in the end,so haven't used them yet.
Senditnow (in fact Parcelforce) are generally very good,but
Insure it
Wrap it really really well

Are you connected to DCS by any chance Armandeo?
It certainly appears that way.
