NEED HELP!

kreit2 · 04-13-2011, 09:45 PM

Hey all, i'm in a bit of a predicament. I have to send my (2) Toyo T1R tires (50% tread left) to a buyer in california.

I have heard many, many, many stories of people shipping entire wheel sets for prices like this...not just the tire itself. Based upon my research I should be able to ship a tire for approximately $15 - $30 per tire. That's reasonable to me, but UPS and Fedex quoted me between 65 and low 70's per tire.

The dimensions are 26x26x9.5'ish, and its weight is 22lbs.

Does anyone know a better way to ship these tires across the country(PA to CA) for substantially cheaper? If someone has a corporate USP account or something I would be willing to pay them the $45 I had anticipated to spend for shipping.

Someone please help me out here. If I can't find any alternative solutions i will have to refund the buyers money.
