Wil6 Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 How much will it cost to post a wheelset that's about 2,2kg? And whats the best way to pack it? Thanks!
Chip Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Sent a wheelset to Cape Town from Pretoria about 6 weeks ago. Get a box from your LBS, wrap in bubble wrap and put some extra cardboard where the hubs are (so not to pierce hole in box). Cost was under R100 via normal parcel mail with SAPO. Wil6 1

So I'm looking at R150 at the most

So I'm looking at R150 at the most Yip, probably less, the LBS will usually give you a cardboard bike box for free, just cut it up to the size you need, make the box as small as possible, by putting the wheels staggered side by side...difficult to explain, but I'm sure you get the idea.
Cippo Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Remove skewers, bubble wrap and tape to wheels as well. Deflate tyres as well. Edited June 25, 2014 by Cippo Wil6 1
urbanroyal Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 At my LBS they had some boxes used for wheels ...that worked well as it was reinforced. Wil6 1

Thomo Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Get a wheel box if you can.Post Office likely to be cheapest (R150 ± 5 day delivery), but shop around with some of the couriers too ... they may just surprise you. Wil6 1
