Any suggestions? I know somebody with Jeep aluminum slots he is probably gonna sell and he was wondering easiest and cheapest way to ship them. Easiest is obviously to drop of at UPS store but big money there so that way is out (for the buyers sake).

Do you have a Fastenal near you? They can usually ship a pallet relatively cheap - not the quickest in the world.

I agree with this. Also, Grey Hound ships cheap but you have to drop off and pick up at a Grey Hound station. Best way to package other then a pallet for Fastenal is to put one wheel to a box. Cheaper and easier to ship four boxes rather then one or two large, heavy boxes.
 
You can also put them on Uship and se if you can find someone with a partial load that needs a little more to fill a load
 
Would you like then to arrive in usable condition? If so, cheapest isn't always the best.
5 boxes, Fedex, $20-30 a wheel and insurance... not the cheapest, but definitely quick and arrive undamaged.

Also, the guy doing the packaging has a lot to do with it...

Thanks guys, will pass it along.

Sometimes 2 larger boxes cost less to ship than 5 smaller ones.
 
I had a set shipped to me and it was cheapest to do two boxes, with two wheels in each.

I did shipping rates several ways to figure out which way would be least expensive.

Have it shipped to a business too. That helps.
