Good news on shipping wheels

Today I had 7 wheels shipped from Denver, CO to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It was cheaper (by over 200 dollars) to take them into a UPS Store and have them packaged and shipped, than to ship them freight!
I thought people would want to know this valuable bit of information.

Something I learned earlier this year, with UPS and Fed Ex you don't really even have to do any packing. Our friend Mark (Thundersnow70) sent me a wheel and all he had to do was put a shipping label on it. Pretty easy.

Glad you are now set for wheels. Piece of mind is priceless. Stu

We have an account with UPS so I just issued a call tag and had UPS pick them up at his house. It was $26 per wheel to ship.

The joke usually is if you want to ship something that is shaped oval; use UPS
