Have to send a pair of alloys (no tyres) for work and was wondering the best way and the most cost effective way of doing it?!

never done it before,

Would anyone have any reccomendations of companies to use, ideally would like them to come pick it up and deliver it?

Thanks

I use a company called Fastway, but to sign up you have to buy a number of vouchers up front. You can use my account if you like, but you will need to drop them down to me.
Give me a call if you want to sort it.

Yes that is how my guys would send them, but they are a virual company and only contactable online so beware.
Fastway are a proper Nationwide company. Their drivers are all self employed and have their own Franchised areas and do not get paid until packages are delivered in good condition.

I looked at them, didn't seem very cheap for sending wheels :) I have used them for other items and can't fault the service.

Beware about packaging pairs of wheels, I read on anther forum recently where the couriers only delivered one of the packages and swore that was all that was sent... Pack them individually and numbered 1 of 4 etc would be how I would do it even if it costs more, and that's how I've received them from companies in the past too.

Cheers,
Alex
