Question about shipping wheels with tires
I need to ship a set of wheels with tires out to eastern Canada. Has anyone done this before?

There are so many companies out there (Fedex, DHL, UPS, etc.) that I don't know which one is the best in terms of price. Also how will the process be like? I have already wrapped up items already, so do I just bring it to the nearest place and drop them off there and pay the shipping fee?

Thanks in advance guys

Last time I shipped wheels/tire, I just brought them there, paid the fee and off they went - if I remember correctly, if they're not in a box, you can't insure them against damage, only loss

^Thanks guys! I requested a quote from pakmail, hopefully it's not too expensive. Anyone know approximately how much I should be looking for? Quote I got from Fedex was about $180. UPS was crazy expensive for some reason, but then again, I don't know how accurate online quote is.
