87sheerips Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 Well Im shipping some mud machine tires to Alaska, and want to see who has the best rates for stuff like this. Any input would be great!! I know USPS is going to rape me! Quote
woodro77 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 everywhere is gonna rape you to ak. hell yes , make sure you lube your ass before drop them off at shipper ,, i have found out fed ex is the cheapest by far for larger items , the best way to ship tires is to just shrink wrap them together . alaska is verry expensive , i also found out that if a address has ( RR ) in it , it means rurale rode that the person lives in the middle of nowhere and the shipping is almost double .

NYUK Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 try greyhound express if he is in a major city. Quote
87sheerips Posted March 19, 2007 Author Report Posted March 19, 2007 try greyhound express if he is in a major city. OK, well im looking around $150 for UPS or DHL. assuming the tires weigh 50lbs. is 50lbs too much? the tires are pretty beefy Quote
NYUK Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 throw them on your bathroom scale, tires and plastics are always my least favorite to ship.i always take a reaming . Quote

Yea they are a bitch! BUT USPS is the cheapest, I cant believe it. 92 bucks for 3 day ship. 19 bucks for media, which would probly take a freakin month! Quote
