Cost me $80 to ship 2 boxes of 15's with tires from SD to TX through FedEx. Paired them up, roped together, extra cardboard used to 'box'/reinforce the corners and pad the ends, lots of packing tape, low psi. Im sure if wheels and tires can take potholes, speedbumps, roadkill, etc... they can take a few hits, kicks, and throws from FedEx/UPS workers.
