I did receive a pair of wheels from the classifieds on here in a bin bag once.

If you don't have an appropriate box my local Halfords are always happy to give away bike boxes and they're easy to cut down.

Can't you just fashion a box out of cardboard?

Pop into the local Halfords, they will normally have one or two wheel shaped boxes knocking around as they ship tyres and the like in them.

The issue is that there are no halfords anywhere near the seller and he doesn't drive.

Sort of gets me thinking about a STW Karma Courier group. I do lots of driving for work so wouldn't ever be an issue to pick up and drop off on my way...just a thought!

You could post him a couple of empty boxes ๐Ÿ™„ Or Just an ordinary cardboard box with bubble wrap or cardboard spacers fabricated between the wheels works fine.
