got 2 tyres to ship to welly. What's the cheapest then quickest way to get two tyres (weighing 9.4kgs total) from dorkland to wellyton?

Stick them over your body like the Michelin man, then ride down (It's also the funnest)

Wrap 'em together with parcel tape, address 'em, take 'em to a POst shop and courier them via CourierPost. Should cost about 18 squid.

already did that with a front tyre, from Taka to Avondalé. Was funny, but not too comfy. Also laid rubber over the tank. wasn't too impressed.. wellyton would be a tad further, and with two..

What WT said about Courier Post at the local PO is the best option, unless you have a courier pickup at your place of work, then send it through your work courier and write out a cheque for the accounts dept. You could take it to other couriers/carriers and pay cash over the counter I suppose but it would probably be dearer. Go the Post Office!

Sounds like your luck's run out there with Jimmy!?

Well since it's my (new) station wagon, and I know nothing about this trip, believe me he will not be going!

BTW a friendly word of warning - if WT ever says "hey let's go for a drive into Newmarket" and then stops at a car yard to show you a car he saw in the Auto Trader - run for your life! Because Eddie the car salesman doesn't take no for an answer.

Id definately see if you can find a backpack that can handle and ride down. if you come off on to your back you would just bounce.

but I reckon 20squid is about right.
thats about $51.50

Not too far off.A 6kg package I was going to send to Paraparam would've cost $25
