Mail-order rims

I'm thinking of getting some new Open Pro rims by mail order (probably Chainreaction), but wonder about the treatment they may get in the post. They would be more susceptible to getting bent than complete wheels would be... and I don't fancy the hassle of having to return them.

Any one had any experience?

    The shops themselves get them from the distributors in a box. I've ordered many rims before and never had a problem, after all if a shop consistently posted out rims that got taco-ed by the postman, they'd have to replace them again and again.

    I've ordred rims before and they come well packaged. There's very little chance of them getting damaged. They normally use Parcel Force for something like that.

    Great, thanks. Mind at rest.
