i have used many online parcel couriers, i have shifted alloy/tyre sets around the uk, with them, you send each wheel/tyre as a separate item, and send 4 together, giving you a slight discount. I sent a set of widish p38 rangy wheels/tyres for about £30 the set. you have to wrap them, but only really need a small circle or cardboard and a few bin bags accross the faces. when you search for say parcel2go etc, and input the dimensions, you dont have to be 'exact' so squeeze them down a tad, and you get the magic £6 a parcel. the guys never meusure! limit is 30kg and around 60cm diameter. then it goes up to about 17 per wheel.
a pallet is a pallet, whether its full or empty, its arond £75 but a godsend to move an engine, or interior. they collect with a forklift. all this saves us a day driving there and back, and the fuel!
p.s you track the parcels online.
