BEFORE SHIPPING
What to know before sending alloy wheels and tyres by courier?
When booking a courier service to send alloy wheels and tyres internationally, follow these tips and ensure a smooth delivery.
- Check the dimensions and weight of the shipment in the size tool to determine the best service for you and the cost to ship your wheels and tyres.
- When shipping your tyres by air freight, they need to be deflated or have the pressure valve opened. When shipping wheels by road, they will be better protected if sent together with the tyres with the air pressure at 10psi.
- Make sure someone is present at the addresses provided for pick-up and delivery. Calculate the estimated delivery time and have your car wheels or tyres properly packed for shipping.

The following steps can be used to pack any type of wheels and tyres: for cars, trucks, bikes, etc.:
- Make sure your wheels are clean and dry before packing them for shipping.
- Place a sheet of foam 2 cm larger than the wheel on each face, fold the excess and tape it to the wheel to avoid scratches.
- If you are shipping wheels separated from the tyres, wrap each wheel with sturdy bubble wrap and secure with tape.
- Protect the wheel with cardboard in the same way as you did with the foam in step 2 and wrap everything in protective plastic film.
- Cushion a box with Styrofoam and place the wheel or car part inside it. Fill the empty spaces with cushioning materials.
- Close and seal the box. Reinforce the seams and edges with several layers of tape.
- If you are shipping a set of wheels and tyres, place the 4 packed wheels onto a pallet and secure them.

FAQ – How to pack and ship car wheels and tyres by courier
How much does it cost to send alloy wheels and tyres internationally?
The price for sending alloy wheels and tyres internationally depends on the distance between the pick-up and delivery destinations, the weight and size of the shipment as well as the urgency and type of transport service selected.
What is the cheapest way to ship wheels and tyres?
The cheapest way to ship car wheels and tyres by courier is through our Standard service. You can get the cheapest quote by entering your shipping information (pick-up and delivery address, parcel dimensions and weight, etc.) in our booking tool.
What is the best alloy wheel and tyre delivery service for large quantities?
Sending alloy wheels and tyres by courier can be tricky as they are large and heavy items. If you are wondering how to ship a large quantity of wheels or tyres without a box within Europe, Van delivery is an ideal shipping option. You get direct transport for your wheels and tyres in a vehicle dedicated to your shipment only.
How can I know if my wheels and tyres will be transported by air or road?
As a rule of thumb, whenever the destinations are connected by land, your wheels and tyres will be transported by road, except for urgent deliveries that might involve air transport. Intercontinental shipments are usually organised by air freight (although other methods can be arranged upon request). If you are not sure what transport method will be used when shipping your car wheels and tyres internationally by courier, contact us and our logistics experts will be glad to help. Please make sure you deflate your tyres before packing them when shipping by air freight.
Where can I get the right packaging materials for packing my alloy wheels and tyres for shipping?
All mentioned packaging materials can be found in stationery or hardware stores. For packing wheels in boxes for shipping, you can use new or used cardboard boxes as long as they are in good condition. Please consider the weight of the items when selecting your packaging materials to ensure your wheels are well protected for shipping. The cardboard box needs to be sturdy and all materials should be able to withstand heavy items.
Is it possible to pack and ship other car parts together with the wheels and tyres?
We offer a range of services that allow you to pack and ship other car parts together with car wheels and tyres. Get an instant quote for a Pallet Delivery service and follow the packing instructions to get your pallet prepared for safe transport. If you have a larger shipment of car parts, wheels and tyres, we suggest booking a dedicated Van Delivery service. You do not need to pack the items for van delivery, since the load is transported directly from the pick-up to the delivery address. For recommendations on how to pack and ship other car parts, please read our dedicated article.
Are my wheels insured if I ship them with Eurosender?
We never compromise when it comes to safety. Every shipment is covered by insurance, the value of which depends on the chosen service.
