Cheapest way to ship wheels/tires?

[Roscoe]

You wanted our opinion on how to ship the wheels and then an hour later you posted you refunded the guy his money. LOL

Worthless thread is worthless. Stay off ebay and stick to Craigslist, you clearly dont know how it works and abide by the rules.

Thanks for your insight, which - again - is adding nothing of a contribution.

Wheels are now gone, problem solved.

Next time say FREE WHEELS, $750.00 shipping, available in the continental US only.

I would have taken them to a recycling place, then sent the cashier check for the amount to they guy with a 1st class USPS stamp. Probably what he was going to do anyway! LOL!

I listed a set of wheels/tires from my wife's car on ebay. Appears the going rate to ship them is $150-250, so I put in $180.

Well some asshat (me) decided to do a $1 no reserve, and they sold for a whopping $20 with $180 shipping. I checked UPS ground, and the total to the buyer is $300.

Any ideas on what the cheapest way to send is? I don't mind giving them away (as I am here), but I'm not going to lose another $100 just to send them to some dickhole in Michigan.

Greyhound is what I did most recently

I wouldn't take the time to:

1. call Grayhound

2. drive to a Grayhound station

for less than $1000

lesson learned = fuck shipping wheels/tires. local sale only

Exactly. I had a guy come get them last night and offered me $200. I said sure. He gets here and wanted to put them on his car (11yrs older) so we looked it up online and the rears needed spacers.

I told him to give me $150 and save the other for spacers. He was thrilled, as am I now that they are gone.

Fuck shipping shit I can't drop off at the post office.

C- seller. Would not do business again.

God bless.

How dare you not lose money on the ebay transaction with someone 1300 miles away!

This.

I just shrink wrapped mine individually and took them to the UPS depot at DFW...listed as 1 shipment / 4 packages....the total was actually almost $60 less than what their website quoted online.

I shipped a set of wheels/tires once... because the dude had a UPS account and offered my full asking price plus $200 to drive them 15min down the road to the UPS dispatch and let them slap labels on them.

It worked out fine. I had listed them on a web forum and listed them as local sale only, but he made the offer, and I meh'd and went ahead and did it.

I have never listed wheels/tires on a nationwide forum since! LOL

(I also have 5 sets of fresh take-off wheels/tires in my storage unit! )
