No, Chris, and I have gotten tires from both of the suppliers you mention; but I'm not a tire distributor, store, or fulfillment house and haven't shipped wheels/tires before. We live in Glenwood Landing where we have no USPS delivery; we have to get our mail from the Post Office. I went there where I've picked up a few wheelsets shipped from the UK. They're usually strapped in 2s; which is how I described the packages would come to them. The Postmaster said ..."no, go to UPS." I did, and they said put the wheels outside faces inwards with a circular board in between and strap them or break them up and ship in 2s. I wanted insurance for $1000, they said no. Big hassle for me so I said forget it I don't have to sell the fuggin wheels.
In fact, I think I'll just keep 'em.
