Shipping wheels from Cali to WI... Discounts available? Acct #? Fedex / UPS?

wisco · 05-05-2011, 12:07 PM

Hey all... Just bought a set of wheels from Cali (San Diego 92101 to Milwaukee 53202).

Looks like retail UPS is costing $148 total to send 4 packages that are 20x20x10, 30lbs ea, or $125 total to send 2 packages that are 20x20x20 weighing 60lbs ea.

Fedex appears to be cheaper at $131 and $112 respectively.

Are there any ways to save on shipping? Would anyone volunteer a UPS or Fedex acct number with a discount and email me the labels and I can paypal $$$ (including fees)?

Please let me know I would be extremely happy to save some money.

dude these 'discounts' you're talking about aren't significant on ground shipping. quit being a jew and pay the money. print the labels yourself and drop off at ups store. wheels aren't cheap to send. they are large and weigh a lot obviously. there's no 'cheap' way to do it.

I can provide you with a fedex account number for 50% off! Please send $131 to an account that I will later specify. We can send you a check for $65 after we have recieved the $131.
