Any idea what the courier guy charges to courier a 700c wheelset from Richards Bay to GP JHB?

Should not be more then R130

Phone your local Postnet. They will give you the rates that depend on box (volumetric) size and weight. 

Off their website: Economy Road (0 to a max: 15Kg - actual weight) (ECO) costs R 95.00/ Up to 15kgs/ 2-3 Days/ - Limit in size is roughly 55 x 55 x 19cm's (*LxBxW = must be <60 000)

The formula for calculating volumetric mass is as follows: *Length (cm) x Breadth (cm) x Height (cm) divided by:  (Road) 4000 / (AIR) 5000 / (OVN) 5000

Two road wheels in a box weigh over 2kg's but under 3 kg's but their volumetric size in a large box pushes them over the Economy Road permissible size. 

I have calculated their volumetric size as 70cm x 75 cm x 23 cm (divided by 4000) = 28.175kg so cost should be:

R150 + 18 = R168. I was quoted R250 the other day but we were just guessing the box size.

Good luck with your calculating...
