It's called UPS... I have received packages from them that would appear as though they went through a war zone... I swear they are the worst!

I hate UPS, one time I ordered a cell phone online, the package came empty, someone got greedy and took the item from the box . Another incident happened to me just now, a package came 3 days later than expected; the reason: no suite number on the package. But when it finally came, the suite number was on it . What can Brown do for you? nothing....

Each wheel proabably had its own tracking number so they treat them as separate packeges. So there not garounteed to be on the same truck. If you have tracking numbers you should be able to see where they are.

My 33x12.5 came on a freight truck and I had to meet them in town 3 days after I ordered them. They were on a palate. What company sent them Ups? I didn't know they would ship something that big. I road around with the stock tire on the back for like 3 months. It no big deal.

I am just giving you crap. I rode around with a stock wheel on the back of my TJ it's whole life. I feel bad now. I was young, inexperienced, and wanted to save a few bucks.

Man, I have a couple of neighbors who work for UPS that live next to me. One of them is a big whiner, who fights with the HOA about stupid stuff. All he does is whine about stuff he hasn't done yet to his house or will do anytime in the next 20 years. But yet he manages to get fined for violations all the time. Maybe he is the one that is on your route. If so, good luck getting your other boxes.

Default Wheels and Tires

I waited for two weeks for my wheels to arrive from California. They came UPS mounted and balanced with 5 different tracking numbers. They finally showed up, the first one i opened the lug nuts weren't packed properly and came loose during the transit . Imagine putting 5 lug nuts in the dryer and turning it on. The wheel was all nicked & scratched, it was trashed. I freaked out thinking all five were like that. The other four ended up fine, the company paided for the shipping and i had my 5th wheel 2 days later. When ordering your wheels express your concern about the packaging it may save you a pucker factor when they arrive.
