Default Where to go to ship wheels?

Need help and info from you guys, I wanna buy some rims w/ tires from someone in Los Angeles and he said the shipping cost with UPS to Texas is 450dlls which is insane and totally incorrect as you can see. The guy doesn't know much about shipping obviously, if u see what I mean, where should he go to ship the wheels (I know it is usually 150-180dlls)? thanks!

Just tell him to ship them to you COD, UPS-Ground. There's NO way it'll be that much. If you want to find out for yourself, just have him weigh the tire and wheel and give you the dimensions. You can go to UPS.com and plug in that info along with the zip codes and find out the price per box.

DHL is the cheapest possible way.

I just paid $100 to have my rims and tires shipped to me. $450 is outrageous.

80 bucks plus insurance for fedex, also if u work at fedex, they give u a 40% discount as an employee.
