    Default Shipping WITHIN Canada

    Anyone shipped wheels within Canada before? Looking to ship a set of wheels from TO to Calgary. Anyone have past experiences with certain companies? How much did it run you?

    I shipped a set of wheels (with tires) from Vancouver to Grande Prairie (4-5 hours NW of Edmonton) a few years back through Purolator and was about $100-$120 CAD. If you are shipping with tires I suggest you not have air in them.

    You might want to check out Greyhound's prices as well. Other options are FedEx Ground or UPS Ground as long as you are shipping within Canada.

    Make sure you pack them really good as well. Also check to see if you pack them as 2 packages instead of 1 or 4. I remember packing mine as 2 seperate packages to get the best rate.

    Yup Ive shipped wheels and tires from Calgary to Moncton, through Greyhound, it was about 110 with shipping and insurance that would cover $2800, which was very good and it arrived in 5 days

    last year I had wheels FedEx'd from Sarnia to Calgary, it was $80 and I got 'em 2nd day. I think the guy shipped them through his work though and got a discount.

    I had 4 wheels shipped from vancouver to calgary it was $47 by greyhound. Whats nice about greyhound is that it can be shipped collect so you pick it up and pay for it when it arrives. That way know you're not getting jacked on shipping
    Looking for a new VW? How about a used vehicle? We are Central Albertas #1 source for pre-owned vehicles
    I will beat any deal on a new VW for beyonders

    When shipping collect via Greyhound it is actually more expensive then shipping it prepaid. There are additional charges on collect shipments.

    i HATE PUROLATOR

    Loomis / aka DHL Express always give me great rates, and are fast - and are alays helpful should something go wrong, and always fix it!

    Purolator always FLYS everything that should be ground and PREPAYS what i send collect... and they REFUSE to correct after as well. I closed our account with them at work and told them to F OFF!
