So I am on the East Coast you are on the West. That significantly impcts shipping.

Went to a local Fedex shipper. Sticker shock.  Their box, packing materials and packing via Fedex: $188.

If I got a carton and packed for them it would be $155.

 

So I Picked up a roll of bubble wrap, $11. but it won't begin to fill the space. I will "wrap" the wheel in an inner protective cardboard box  and pack it with bubble wrap and crumpled newspaper. Or, I can buy "popcorn" to fill the box.

 

I found a large carton the 18" diameter wheel will would fit in and be fully protected, in back of a local shopping center. Took the wheel only to my local PO. I gave them some approx measurements but none quite as large as the carton I found. I thought about cutting it down but don't want to risk damage to the wheel in a slightly smaller pkg. 

 

I won't know until tomorrow when I have wheel boxed what the PO price with $400. insurance will be.

 

I have not shipped anything this large in quite a while. Perhaps you have and are not surprised.

 

Talk to you tomorrow.
