Hey would anyone know the dimensions of a cardboard box for posting a set of wheels? Just trying to get a cost sorted here

Cheers

    In the days, Planet X used to supply their cheap rims with beautiful wheel boxes, with slots and all...

    Ha, those were the days...

    Nip in your LBS, they might have one they don’t want. My LBS is happy to give you a cardboard wheel or bike box, saves them having to get shot of it.

    I use 68*68*29cm.

    Got loads but you have to pick up as shipping z box is £10.

    A bike box and cut it down to suit. Cut the sides down but keep the bottom and top full size and use the off cuts from the sides to go between the wheels. In one of my previous jobs we were sending stuff to customers and with some skill could get 4 700c wheels in a bike box.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.
