Im selling a set of alloys on ebay and someone has asked whether i will post them.if he arranges a courier to collect them.
First off, how.do i go about wrapping them up?
Secondly, do couriers specify a time when they will collect them or do.you have to.wait in all.day?

I find they tend to collect in the afternoon as the vans are full in the morning.
Card over the face of the wheel and tape on. Then put in a bin bag and tape up

if its four alloys you can either stack them up, wrapp in bubble and then do a 'cross' of tape (make sure its good stuff) over the top and then over the top from the other side to cross the two.
Or find a big enough box to fill with bubble + alloys.

How will they left it? with a sack trolley?
two parcels in one consignment? I can send/pick up to 30kg with DPD and Parcel Force to anywhere in the mainland.
I've sent some semi slicks one, just sellotaped them up the wall and down inside, put the label on the side and off it goes.

And you think they will get sack trollied around in the depot? What about lifting them into the van?
4 tyres are proberbly 30kg let alone the wheels
I would say 2wheels taped together max

Lifting into their van is their problem, moving it around the depo is also their problem - they have machiney to move things about there

Sorry didn't realise they had tyres on them aswell, pallet job may well be your best bet. Where do they need to go?
