Question regarding shipment.

I plan to sell my wheels but I do not know anything about shipping. How should I ship it to the buyer? UPS, USPS or what? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Where are you shipping your wheels to? How big and heavy are they? Within state is usually around $50 and outer state is a little more than $100. You can schedule a time for UPS to pick up the wheels from your house(be sure to pack the wheels), they don't accept cash. This is as far as I know about UPS, hope it helps.

They accept money order, cashier's check, and personal check.

We packed wheels/tires for UPS shipment by taping cardboard rounds on inner and outer edges with reinforced tape. Worked well. Ups takes cash at the counter, but not at the truck I think

Do you do the packing/taping at customer's house or at your place? How much does it cost?

these were my rims (Mark Pedersen is my dad), i ordered new rims, then just used the round cardboard cutouts on either side and then packaging take, this works great if you are shipping wheels with tires still mounted.

UPS accepting Cash vs. Check....

They accept both depending on the circumstances...

If you request for a pick up (they come to your house/residence) they will not accept cash.

If you take it to their customer counter, they accept all types of payment: cash, check, charge, etc....
