Default Who should I use for shipping wheels?

I have to ship out 2 sets of wheels and tires. Who should I use for the best price? One set has to go to FL., and the other to Ohio. I'm in Northern NY.

I've used ups and fedex to ship and buy wheels. Just use a cardboard box and cut out the shape of the wheels to protect them and all should be good.

I've shipped wheels using both UPS and Fed Ex. I cut a cardboard box down to fit tightly around the wheels and taped the life out of them.

Fed Ex was way cheaper.

You can go to the UPS, Fed-X, or DHL web sites and get an online quote for price and arrival time.

UPS SUCKS!!! I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH! The last three things I've received have been damaged and the last set of tires I shipped they didn't pick up the COD check. It took me three months to get my money!!!!!!!! FedEx , no problems.
