Default Anyone ever ship wheels and tires?

I sold some wheels and tires, but I need to ship them 1/2 across the contry,
How did you guys ship them? They are steel wheels w/ tires, do i need to box them up, or can I slap a label and ship them as is?

thanks

I've received unmounted tires with just stickers on them by UPS. Not sure about mounted ones though.

Strap them all on a pallet, estimate the weight and call Unishippers. If you deliver them to the local freight terminal it'll save you $50.00

Unishippers bundles 1,000s of small account together and gets a huge volume discount for everyone. They have saved me many, many $$$

Tell Unishippers you want them delivered to the nearest terminal to the buyer, who can drive out to the terminal and pick up the whole pallet or unstrap them and throw them into the back of their truck or van.

You can ship the assemblies mounted, but some shipping companies consider them hazardous cargo if they aren't deflated first.
