4x4 wheel courier

Just bought a set of 18" wheels on ebay for my Fl2. Anyone recommend a courier to have them collected from the seller?

Paisley freight seem only to offer pallet delivery on 18" 4x4 wheels. Have heard mixed reviews about Direct Courier Solutions.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

I shipped 4 19" Evoque alloys with tyres using paisley freight no pallet required, just cardboard facings on the alloys then wrapped in heavy duty polythene. Bin bags will do. Man picked them up in his van no questions asked. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

I've used Paisley freight before. i just wrapped the wheel in brown wrapping paper and clean film. I then sent them of as normal wheels not 4x4 as you could not tell unless you opened it up.

its a pity it wasn't last week as i was in Gretna and on monday im going to Mold. I6 WITH GAS CONVERSION

Looks like Paisley Freight ticks all the boxes. Of course that is if the seller is willing to pack them.
