Chip Posted June 25, 2014 Share 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.

Chip Posted June 25, 2014 Share Thanks! 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 Share Remove skewers, bubble wrap and tape to wheels as well. Deflate tyres as well. Edited June 25, 2014 by Cippo Wil6 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/140716-posting-a-wheelset/#findComment-2342952 Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanroyal Posted June 25, 2014 Share At my LBS they had some boxes used for wheels ...that worked well as it was reinforced. Wil6 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/140716-posting-a-wheelset/#findComment-2342955 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomo Posted June 25, 2014 Share 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.
