Default Where in W LA to take rims to ship?

Pretty simple question, anyone used a specific place i.e. fed ex or ups?

Do they provide the boxes for shipping?

I went to my local custom wheel shop and picked up four boxes they were throwing away. I wraped the rims in newspaper and used extra newspaper to make sure they would not slide around in the box. I used FedEx as they were they cheapest (LA to NYC). I did find out that shipping rates are knid of like airfares -They don't make much sense from a logic perspective. Best bet is to weigh your packages and then give each one (FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc.) a call.

Josh-

FedEx is more expensive and more reliable. You need to go to a shipping package store for a box and packing. FedEx or UPS will give you a shipping label to fill out and affix.

Do you think that the rims with deflated tires would fit in a box measuring:

height is 9 1/4" and the widths are 18 3/4"

?
