Cheapest Courier for a Set of Wheels?

Post by Gizmo »

Bought another set of wheels - But again, the Seller is being a bit awkward with what times i can collect (Workdays, Late at night etc).

He wants to charge me £10 to Pack the wheels and for me to arrange my own courier (Wheels with be boxed in 4 individual Boxes) or £45 All in to Ship (Would perhaps cost me the same in Fuel in the Waaaagon).

Thoughts?
