In the age of the internet, it is becoming increasingly rare to sell second-hand items face-to-face. This also applies to car parts. Wondering what shipping rims by courier is like? This is not a standard service and not every carrier will undertake it. It's worth checking what the options are before you advertise the sale.
When looking for car parts to buy, it is also not worth limiting yourself to your own locality. At online auctions, it is easier to find a bargain at which the price of sending the rims by courier will not put a strain on your pocket. We recommend that you compare prices from different carriers and consult with the seller on the best solution.

Shipping rims by courier - how do I prepare them for shipping?
Putting up a sale ad and finding a buyer for used car parts is most of the success. However, unless you are selling them in bulk, you may have a problem with proper packing and shipping. Remember that damage resulting from inadequate parcel protection is the responsibility of the sender. It is worth taking out additional insurance to compensate you in the event of damage.
How do I pack my rims for shipping? If you want to send the whole set in one parcel, with most couriers it will exceed the standard dimensions. It will be counted as bulky, which will increase the transport time and probably the cost. Check whether it might be cheaper to send two or more separate parcels. Some couriers even recommend separating the rims to minimise the risk of damage.
Wrap each rim with a thick layer of fabric and bubble wrap and place in a cardboard box. Tightly fill the free space with soft padding such as foam or polystyrene. The protection should absorb shocks and prevent the rims from moving inside the packaging. Finally, seal the carton by reinforcing it several times with strong tape.
How do I send alloy wheels by courier without outer packaging? If you do not have a large enough cardboard box, the rims or tyres stacked on top of each other can be shipped wrapped repeatedly with fabric and bubble wrap. Each rim should be protected separately and then they should all be joined together in one lump. However, a parcel in this form is much riskier. It is also likely to increase in cost due to its heavy weight and unusual dimensions.
Shipping rims by courier - how do I mark the parcel?
If you are sending cartons of rims, the courier does not need to know what is inside. As well as securing the items inside the packaging, it's also a good idea to put warning signs on the top. Standard ones include "Caution", "Top Down" or "Caution Glass". Take care of this especially when shipping aluminium rims, which are more susceptible to damage. Also remember to place a label with the recipient's details in a prominent position so that the courier does not have to turn the heavy parcel around looking for it.
How much does it cost to send the rims by courier?
The shipping price of the rims by courier depends on the weight and dimensions of the shipment. Please consult the price list to ascertain how much the shipping cost of your rims will be. You may also find that additional insurance must be added to the shipping costs.
If you pack your rims according to the above advice, they should arrive intact. Choose a reputable carrier so that you can entrust your shipment to them without worrying about its fate.
