I think it is possible that you fat fingered the keyboard at the UPS site.
I would think, $40-$60 for two. I usually ship two to the box. 16" box for
15's, 18" box for 16 or 17" wheels. As a caution against UPS depredations,
I cut pieces of plywood at 16, or 18, inches square. I then put one at the
bottom, one in the middle and another on the top. I then strap them with
fiberglass reinforced tape. The plywood squares help prevent deformation and
slippage of the tape. UPS has nearly destroyed at least one box, but it
held together.
It can be a mistake to underestimate UPS when it turns its hand to
destruction. I also tape the wheels together before putting them in the box.
In any case, there is a significant savings in using one box.
