Default Bubblewrap. Where? Need to ship 4 wheels

I'm throwing 4 wheels on a greyhound to Saskatoon and need to wrap them up somehow. I was thinking either bubblewrap/cardboard/old blankets but don't have any of the above available to me.

Anyone work somewhere that has extra? Know where I can buy some? Are they open Saturdays?

Sorry, I have no idea where to start on this one...

Excellent. Thank you sir. I'm guessing Staples will bend me over ever so slightly less.

You'll be able to find rolls of bubble wrap at Post Offices as well. Any Shoppers, Rexall or Paragon with a PO in them should have supplies that you are looking for.

HR- if you end up buying a big roll; at some point I will also be looking to grab some of the 48" wide stuff. I probably only need about 20 feet; so if you need to sell some let me know.

When i shipped my wheels i just covered the face and back with cardboard, its thick enough and protects the wheels better than bubble wrap.

Yea thats how they all get shipped Bubble wrap is too soft and will pop under the weight.

Most of the time when they ship wheels with no rubber on its just individual boxes. For tires on they just cardboard the front and back.

Awesome. I dumpster dived and scored a fair amount of cardboard.
