Default Sending wheels?

Found me a set of cheap alloys, only problem is, the seller is in birminham, and im in scotland but really dont want to miss up on these!

I need some info on how the seller could post them to me, cheaply

Whats the best company? (reliability/speed/cost)
How much should postage cost, from the birmingham area, to central scotland?

Cheers.

Wheels aint so much valuable, but im getting them for pennies compared to what their worth hence why i dont want to hold out for a set closer to home!

A road trip is sounding more and more appealing though
Saying that, £40-£50 is less than what i thought it's cost to get them up here!

Cheers for the help ser, much appreciated!

My only worry would be that the person selling them doesnt wrap them very well,id be pissed off if they turned up damaged.

I really cant see it being more than that price,id hope....
