I need to post a set of wheels. Got them ready to go in a wheel box. Do I just take them to the local post office. Any idea on cost? Thanks.

Yup.

As for cost, weigh them and have a look on the RM price finder. Obviously insurance and tracking will make things more pricey.

parcel2go.com are looooads cheaper than RM/Parcelfarce.

When I've posted wheels I add a little extra cardboard between the axles and box, also and fill the gaps with whatever suits. Screwed up newspaper does the job well 🙂

Check out CollectPlus too. It's cheap and you drop the parcel off with registered local shops so more convenient than finding a PO.
