Default Shipping from Orlando,FL to Canada

I'm working out a possible rim trade with a member from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and I'm in Orlando, FL. Does anyone know what we should expect to pay for shipping. The rims I would be trading him are the only ones I currently own so I can't unmount them, box them up, and get a quote till we both agree on it being a done deal.

We both have a set of 17" rims, and both sets are light...probably no more than 65-70lbs in the rim weight for both of us.

Please let me know if you have a rough idea / or accurate info of how much this would cost. I appreciate any help, Thanks

Just check the Fedex website. Measure out the size of the box and you should be able to calculate the price. Don't use UPS, they rip you off by charging brokerage fees, wereas Fedex doesn't.

I've done Longwood (Basically Orlando) to Vancouver for $35 a wheel at the UPS depot in Longwood.

Great tip UPS FTMFL when it comes to cross border shipments! And those fees are not cheap.

I shipped my stock tires and wheels from Minneapolis to Vancouver, BC Canada. I think I paid about $180 US for shipping. For the receiver in Canada, expect to pay duty and taxes too, based on the declared value.
