Who are people using to post a wheelset these days that's cheaper and reliable?
I've useen MyHermes in the past but the box size might be too big for their rules.

Thanks in advance.

You can use Parcelforce 48 for something wheel box sized, should cost £12.

Cheers, they were the next option I'd thought of. Guess I need to measure the boxes and take it from there.

Shouldn't be a problem. I've posted two pairs of wheels recently and they were comfortably inside the size and weight limits

I posted my wheelset with myhermes. No problem with box size or weight. I'm pretty sure if you go on their website and can input the size and it will give you a price. Was surprisingly good value

Checked myhermes and the size allowed is more once you go up a weight range, with insurance looking at about £13 which isn't too bad.
Parcelforce 48 was cheaper until you add the insurance!!

Obviously depends on the insurance value but iirc I paid about £8 to send mine (albeit they were only insured for £50 which is what I sold them for)

That's the problem, I need insurance at least at £220. Pushes the price up considerably.

That probably explains it then!
