Shipping wheels to Cape Town

[CycleGuy10000]

Hi Hubbers, hope you are well. I want some advice from you guys. I have a wheelset and a interested buyer for my Stanch Arch Wheelset as seen on my profile. What is the best courier service to use to ship this wheelset. The package is to big to be sent through Postnet. Regards.

The courier guy but you will need to box it yourself or any bikeshop can box and courier it for you

Thanks Arrie, appreciate the advice. Do you have any idea how much it will cost?

Depends on weight and size of the box. You can use this link below. Actually,  If you use a company called Rush, they are cheaper but use The Courier Guy and another company.

I sent wheel via Courier Guy - it was about R400.00 or so.

Wheels were boxed at LBS.

Skynet...they will also box them for you

I ship wheels all the time, as you can imagine.

Get a wheel box from your bike shop, or a couple empty boxes from your local supermarket.

Make the box as small as possible, so that the wheels fit snuggly.
Remove tyres - this makes the box 10cm shorter (and cheaper).

I normally pay between R250 and R280 with The Courier Guy, for nationwide economy shipping.

Take your box with wheel inside to your local Courier Guy depot or kiosk and you can pay cash for the shipment.

Happy to answer any other questions you have.
