est way to send 4 36" Wheels and Tires to VA from IL

[1320]

Will UPS or Fed X ground take these wheels and tires?

[RamAford]

ive never shipped anything that way, but i would think it would be easier to put em on a pallet and have a trucking or freight company deliver em?

Yah I have sent them frieght before also, I was just wondering about the two mentioned.

you could send them by ups... i bet they find a way to mess them up though.... throw them on a pallet and see if there is a "air freight" terminal near you. they are usually the cheapest way to go for small orders like that

if you can ship them to a business, it'll be way cheaper.

I ordered some 35x12.5's from national tire and wheel online and they sent them individually by ups. They just taped cardboard squares over the rims and put the shipping label on them. The ups guy rolled them off the truck one by one.

all i know is if ups can make a 11 leaf spring pack look like a cork screw and a solid steel radius arm look like an L they can and probably will damage anything

IDK if you can ship them via UPS or FedEx ground.

I forgot(have to ask the two guys at work which worked at both places) but they have a maximum weight per package its either 100 or 150lbs and after that its considered freight.

I'd contact someone like Old Domeinum(sp?) or Yellow and see what they charge, I'm sure it will be cheaper than doing UPS/FedEx Freight.

MIke.

I dont know how UPS screws up something that doesnt seem possible, but they find a way. And their insurance is a total joke and ripoff. I am still fighting with them over an insurance claim. UPS sux in my opinion. I hope they go out of business and do the world a favor.
