Bathroom scales???

Two options: 1) individual packaging - wrap each wheel up for protection and send each separately

2) pallette - send them loose but tied to a pallette (this is the way larger, odd shaped items must be sent.

 

2 is probably more expensive, so your best bet is probably to invest in some sheets of bubble wrap and card and gaffer tape them up. You might get away with taping two wheels together, but it depends on the weight limits of the courier you choose to use. Don't forget postal insurance.. Particularly if you're using the royal snail..

Try 2 sets of 2. And maybe approach a friendly local business who use couriers, regular users seem to have secured good deals and you can pay them whatever it costs.Worth trying.
