87sheerips Posted April 21, 2007 Report Posted April 21, 2007 OK im in a bind here. The post office (has the cheapest rates) does not have a box for me to ship my tires (front and rear sets). I know u can ship them in shrink wrap, who knows where i can get some?? please chime in asap!!! thanks...... Quote
NYUK Posted April 21, 2007 Report Posted April 21, 2007 look in the phone book for a packaging supply company.i buy them 4 rolls at a time. any major city will have a few.another way would be to tie them together with wire or clothesline. and put them in trash bags, then just tape the shit out of them with clear packaging tape from a dollar store.

LiftdT4R Posted April 21, 2007 Report Posted April 21, 2007 If all else fails, I have a shit ton of it at work, if you need it, hit me up, I get it for free, so you just pay the shipping. Quote
theshee Posted April 21, 2007 Report Posted April 21, 2007 You can send stuff UPS shrink wrapped. Ive sent several sets of tires that way with no box or fee for not having a box. I hate USPS, they are so damn slow its not even funny. They would be better off going back to the pony express... I use UPS of fedex for everything. Not trying to get off topic, but you can use UPS like that too. :thumbsup: Quote
