    His request was I pick it up, I requested he split. It is a used wheelset but I was hoping to sell locally using Craigslist because I don't like dealing with shipping and fees which is why I avoid Ebay. I am not in a rush to sell but this would replenish the small amount of savings we dipped into when our dog injured her back last month.

I am not big on just keeping "back up" parts of this nature. Yes you can taco a wheel but it isn't something that happens often even in rocky Texas.
    What shipper? FedEx ground usually has the best price. Prices are based on volume and distance in addition to weight.

    speaking of Craigslist, I checked my email this morning to find about 30 extra emails. Someone took over MY craigslist account and was using it to sell electronics. about a dozen people wrote to me asking for Ipads and things. Each ad had his URL and email address, so after I changed my password and deleted all his ads, i sent all the info to craigslist. !! 4 of them had already been flagged!!!

    Hey Amanda, I shipped out my wheelset yesterday, FedEx ground, using the double ZIPP box it came to 13.2 lbs and $ 52, so I guess it's gotten a bit more expensive...
