postage suggestions for my old van wheels?

[jonnyboy666]

i'm gonna be selling my van wheels as i have bought some new ones, was gonna use ebay but i would like a postage option to open up the selling area but i have never sent anything this big before, anyone got any sensible postage options? obviously they are pretty big and heavy and there are 4 of them! not the sort of thing i can just pop into the post office with!

the only other thing i can think of is saying "you can arrange your own carrier" as this means it's their responsibility, would that be acceptable to buyers do you think?

any advice gratefully received

Paisley Freight do OK. Used them many times. http://www.paisleyfreight.com/alloy-wheel-courier.php

that's brilliant! i was expecting stupid money but they quote £35 for 4 x 18" wheels with tyres, seems like a bargain!

i'll get the listing sorted, thanks for that!

What wheels are they JB? They may fit my VW project car that could do with some bigger rims.

Edit: Just looked up the BCD for a T4/T5 van and they are 5x112 - mine is 5x100. Dam and blast

well, T5 is different to T4 i know that,

5 x 120 i believe is what i have. mine look like BMW style wheels in silver

As above, ive sent wheels via paisleyfreight before and had zero problems!

I packaged them all seperately and printed off an a4 sheet with the delivery address on for each, numbered 1of4 2of4 and so on, i put cardboard over the faces of the wheels and wrapped them in binbags/cocooned them in duct-tape, they were with the guy in Essex about 48 hours later (from north east area) was well impressed by that!

I'd consider putting on a pallet and sending with Pallex carrier, but no idea if cheaper than £35
