    Need to post a pair of 29er wheels.

    Who is best currently to use and what’s the best way to package them up of I don’t have a wheel box ( I have a bike box though )

    Cheers.

    Steve.

    I recently sent a pair of 29er wheels by royal mail tracked and signed with insurance of £300; delivered in 3 days for about £20.
    Got 650b bike box from lbs; made protective ‘sleeve’ for hubs; plenty of folded cardboard in the box to reinforce top, bottom, ends & sides of box.
    You can get cardboard from local store – i got some for free from john lewis.
    Duct tape to seal the box.
    Drove to local parcel force depot; easier than carrying to post office.
    Job done.

    Always used Parcel Force 48. You can get a discount card from the post office counter which has a code on it for first time use. I would adapt the box you have to fit. Wrap the wheels in bubble wrap if you have some to stop them moving about

    No pretty bit packed quite well !!

    £10.45 to post with my Hermes.

    I paid £11.99 for a stem and bars with parcel force.

    DPD via Parcel2Go – just put 61x46x46cm in the dimensions – no one checks
