Shipping Rims from TO to Calgary

[BokCh0y]

Does anyone have any experience with this? I assume something like Fedex would be the best bet and pending weight, that will determine cost. Reason I ask is I found a set of rims and would like to have them shipped to Calgary but not sure the best way to ship something like this.

Any advice or contacts would be appreciated.

Thanks.

FedEx and Loomis should have the best rates. Could always try your luck with something like https://www.uship.com/ as well.

Thanks @beyond_ban . I heard about uship but never tried them clearly hahaha.

I had a guy ship me some forgeline rims from Ontario, I’ll try and dig up what it cost, but it wasn’t bad and he did it COD haha

Edit: it was Canada post also

Yeah thanks guys for the recommendations, rally appreciate it. And @JfuckinC , that would be cool re: costs.

Remember when we had greyhound to ship wheels around? Those were the better times...

Woah, don't lose your head reminiscing fondly about greyhound.

Hey so from the greater Toronto area it was $60 a wheel with rubber to my local post office, COD. I thought it was pretty reasonable. He wrapped them in tarps and taped them and shipped them like that haha it worked pretty good. Could probably get old boxes for free from a tire shop though.

Fronts were 21kg, rears were 23kg, they were 18x10 and 18x13’s with racing tires on them.

Cool thanks for that. I think I can make it work then as the rims I am looking to have shipped are just 16" JDM rims with rubber.

I just used UShip to send two large boxes to Montreal for $171.. may be worth packaging them up and trying that out.

Just to piggy back off this, anyone ever bought and shipped some thing big cross country? like 600lb crate? (Motor)

Yes. Have it put on a pallet and call a trucking company for a quote. I've shipped a dining room table I had made somewhere in Ontario to Calgary. I don't recall the price but it was most likely in the $400-$600 range.
