Overland Express are the experts when you need a motorcycle wheel shipping service within the UK, or Worldwide. We offer some of the best rates available for bike wheel delivery. Please continue reading to find out how to send motorbike wheels.

To send motorcycle wheels, simply locate the option that matches what you are sending from the quote tool above, then press the order button.

When sending motorbike wheels and tyres, they must be packed appropriately. Bare motorcycle wheels or motorbike tyres are not acceptable and will be refused by the courier, or returned to you, and a £10.00 collection fee deducted. All wheels, and wheel and tyres, must be boxed. If the motorbike wheels are for refurbishment, or are already scuffed, the minimum requirements for packaging include using either bubble wrap for the bike tyres or motorcycle wheels, and then either boxed, or wrapped in cardboard. This is to avoid any risk of damage when shipping wheels. Do not wrap them in cling film, pallet wrap, or bubble wrap once boxed, as this sticks to the conveyors.

If sending tyres only, these will also need to be boxed.

If you are taking out additional insurance cover (exclusions apply), or the motorcycle wheels are new or refurbished, please follow our packing advice below, as the insurers will reject any claim where the motorbike wheels are insufficiently packed.

General Restrictions

It is prohibited to send the following motorbike rims, tyres or rims and tyre combinations through this service:

How to Send Motorbike Wheels by Courier

Prerequisites:

Bubble wrap
Parcel tape
Double walled cardboard box

A cardboard box must be used for the outer packaging due to COVID-19 handling restrictions.

The most important thing to consider when you send motorbike wheels is that they must be well protected for shipping. When sending wheels and wheels and tyres, they must be either boxed, or wrapped in cardboard.

Pay particular attention to the motorcycle wheel rims, as these can be easily damaged in transit. When packing, cover the motorbike wheels with a thick layer of cardboard, carpet, or bubble wrap, secured with parcel tape to hold it in place. Attaching cardboard to each bike wheel rim will help prevent any damage to them during transport.

The next step is to wrap the entire motorbike wheel in bubble wrap, we would recommend using 2 to 3 layers of the larger bubble type, as it offers more protection when sending motorcycle wheels, again using parcel tape to secure the bubble wrap in place. As a guide, if the motorbike wheel was dropped from waist height, the bubble wrap must provide sufficient protection to avoid damage.

Once wrapped in bubble wrap, they need to be boxed. Please use new double walled boxes, used boxes offer less protection. Once boxed, please DO NOT wrap them in cellophane, bubble wrap, or shrink wrap, as this snags on the conveyors.

When choosing a box, double walled boxes are always better. If you cannot obtain the correct sized box, you can wrap them in cardboard, securely fixed with parcel tape. If there is any space left inside the box, this can be filled with additional bubble wrap, polystyrene loose fill, or screwed up newspaper. The idea is that the wheel cannot move around inside the box during transport.

Once the box has been filled, you can then seal it with parcel tape. Again, make sure that there is sufficient tape used, ensuring that the box does not come open during transit.

Rims must be boxed, or wrapped in cardboard and cannot be sent just using shrink wrap or bubble wrap. Once boxed, the outer box must not be shrink wrapped, as this snags the conveyors, plain cardboard only.

Tyres must also be boxed and cannot be sent using just shrink wrap or bubble wrap.

Now that the packing is complete, you just have to attach an address label to each box. Our included insurance cover is up to £50.00, with additional cover available up to £20,000.00.

Helping Feline ship their stuff

Feline Guitars have been using this small company for a number of years and always had great service and competitive pricing. We had previously used UPS directly till it got to be hard work to communicate with them. The personal attention and help that you can get in an industry that is increasingly automated and hands-off is a welcome thing to have.

Southwell Guitars Recommend…

Southwell Guitars have been using Overland Express for some years now for sending our guitars worldwide. Most major courier companies do not insure musical instruments but Overland Express have an insurance service that specialise in musical instrument insurance, giving my customers and me peace of mind. I also like that Stuart and Tim are always easy to contact if there are any questions or If I need any help. This was especially helpful after the chaos created by Brexit and the Covid pandemic. Overland Express are my first choice when I am sending guitars, something I do on a regular basis and recommend them to anyone.

Highly recommended personal service

I've been using Overland Express now for a number of years. As I send a good number of both electric and acoustic guitars every year, I wanted to find a company that offered reasonable shipping and insurance rates that guaranteed to cover guitars against loss or damage to their true value. Step forward Stuart and Overland Express. They offer top couriers and reasonable insurance costs to send guitars worldwide. In all the time I've used them I've never once had an issue. Service is quick, reliable and it is a real bonus you are able to contact someone quickly who will deal with issues should any arise. Highly recommended.
