What are peoples experiences with Paisley Freight?
Has anyone used them to send or receive wheels? Did you pay the additional premium for insurance?
Finding boxes to fit wheels + tires is seeming a PITA.
Any links or suggestions?

I didn't bother. I've used them twice now.
Just wrapped the alloy and left the rubber so the wheel could be rolled.
I think on the last batch I used some heavy duty zip ties to double up as "carry handles" (one per wheel) incase that method was preferred. Never had any problems.

I've used them a good few times for wheels and tyres after seeing decent reviews on forums like this. I like the fact they do specific pricing for tyres and wheels etc not the usual "what are the dimensions/weight?" that most couriers use. Never has any issues and they usually arrived the next day, even though I only paid for 3-4 day etc. Insurance wise I think they recently revised their costs etc. IIRC the first £50 is covered FOC and the upgrades above this are cheaper than they used to be. For me it depends what I'm sending anything up to £100 or so I'll risk it, beyond that and especially if its tyres I've sold on ebay etc I'll insure it.

Buckz sent wheels and tyres to me, and all arrived safely next day.
lots of bubble wrap and tape to protect centres.
