Posting Tyres ?

WD Pro · Sep 7, 2013

Hi,

What's the typical rates now to post a pair of MTB tyres ? (1.95's / not light weight / non folders - steel bead).

Any recomendations other than Royal Mail ?

I have some tyres to sell and I am just trying to work out if I can advertise them at a sensible cost and still make some money or if it would be better for me just to keep hold of them ... :-(

Cheers for any advice

Black sack and tape if you dont want to fold but if sending in the UK, fold them up on the proviso that they are unfolded and placed on a wheel as soon as possible.

I think, if folded small enough, they are classed as a 'small' parcel and can go for as little as £3 via your local PO.

I got a pair of non folders into a box 35x35x20 (overall dimensions must not exceed 90cm to qualify for small parcels) Post Office quoted £12 to Europe and £20 to Canada.

Twist them to make them smaller and have a look at Collect Plus - good prices.

Thank you

I had done them double in the past but never triple - that's a cool way of saving space

I was more interested in the cost to post as the UK postal rates have gone up :-(

No point me advertising a pair of tyres for £20 and it costing me £10 to post them - for £10 I might as well keep them in the shed ... :-(
