What size, Where's going going and from where?

I had 22" forgiatos sent with tires and it cost a total of about $500. From Cali to Toronto using UPS

If it's a private member sending them to you then you can save maybe about $300 if he shows the value as being very low and label them as "Repaired" or something.

It's hard for them to damage during shipping but not impossible. Label each box as "FRAGILE". If you're talking about your 20's I can't see them costing more than $200 to ship. Label them repaired so they don't dispute their charges on the value of the wheels when new.

if you package them yourself, it will be much cheaper.
