Hi Guys

I am wondering if you can help, I am selling 2 sets of wheels and looking at packing and posting to the UK.

Does anyone know where I can get boxes that would fit 4 wheels/tyres/cassette and which site is the best for couriering them to the UK?

    Go to your LBS and blag the empty boxes off them.
    I ride a bike. Doesn't make me green or a tree hugger. I drive a car too.

    Parcel force have been the cheapest when I have sent one pair of wheels before.

    Top tip: If you need a wheel box to send some wheels, buy some new blingy carbon ones, and then use that box to send the ones you have sold.
    Not only do you get a box, but a new set of shiny wheels. 8)

    You are welcome.

    Four wheels and tyres will easily fit in a reused bike box, just angle them slightly and add more cardboard between the wheels to protect the rims, sheets the same size as the wheels with holes in the middle for the hubs.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.
