They should be easy to mail. The sender can get 16 or 18 inch cube
boxes at several places (mailbox stores, office supply places, etc.),
should be under $10 each. Or perhaps they can recycle a box someone
else is throwing out. Pack the wheels with some padding to minimize
scratching and movement and stuff in transit. Bring to post office and
fill out customs forms for them.
Cost based on weight can be worked out in advance here:

I've mailed bigger (or at least the same size) boxes than that to
several foreign destinations. Oddly, air parcel post to Canada is
usually cheaper than "surface".
Obviously if you can hitch a ride for them with someone already heading
that way, you'll save money, but the mails will work.
