Default shipping wheel quotes

hey guy's whats the best way to get a quote on shipping some wheels? which one is cheaper fedex or ups? anyone who has shipped wheels can you please chime in.

btw the quote is from tx to nh.

i did one on ups.com and it wsa like 4XX or so. so i created an account and the price dropped to 121.xx but i've seen some guys shipping wheels for cheaper than that.

I have used FedEx the last couple times I have shipped wheels. They have been cheaper than UPS. I go to Discount Tire and get boxes to use.

They always give me the boxes. They usually have a huge stack of broken down boxes and tell me to get what I want. Last time I was there I got some that had not been broken down yet. They had extra cardboard and those covers that look like a large hair net in them.
