parcel2go at around £70 mate Best I found 2 days odds

Parcelforce, get them to put two wheels in a box and send them as two packages. Unless their rates have gone up, it should be about £40

it would be quite deer to get them sent over what kind of weight are you talking. if you know someone buying alot of stuff from someone over they could bring them back for you. i know a boy that goes over every couple of weeks to get stuff for the shop il ask him when he is going over next and see if it if close to where you whant the wheels. like pablo sayes £70

 

[pablo]

if there are no tyres then you could bundle into 2 lots for parcel2go too - 25kg per package tho.

Ive use parcelfarce 48 to send to england but its dearer this way

[pablo]

Where are they? I'll more than likely be heading to england some time later this week, maybe weekend ...... if it was on my route I would lift them.

Not sure why people are saying £70 for a set, i've had loads of sets of wheels sent over for around £40...

Marc... use parcel force. They are as good as any..

How did the car detailing go BTW??

No pics?

Im paying £45 to have wheels posted from Germany! Bargain!

i sent a set of std 16" seat rims a couple of years ago for qaround 42 quid marc, it was either business post or dhl, in two boxes with air let out to fit tem both in (and save weight fnar fnar!)

 

[Marc]

3 of the tyres are shot anyway, so i will be asking him just to remove them all, what good is a single tyre to me

cheers for the suggestions, i have a few numbers i have to call now

Countrywide Freight
TNT
Securicor
Parcel Force

Ask about possibly putting them on a pallet if it may be cheaper. Would guess you'd be talking ~50kg.
