Best Shipper for Large Packages

I just bought a set of speakers (110 pounds apiece) and had them shipped UPS. I thought this might work out since I could get them delivered in a set time frame (3 day service), and I had to take time off work to be there. The brand new boxes showed up today, and they had so many holes in them they looked like Bonnie and Clyde after the Feds got done with them. What shipping services have other people used with better results?

BAX Global is who I use for large items like speakers, they do a very good job. FedEX freight is also good, though they have a size/weight limit. BAX will ship damn near anything, and even pick up right at your door (though this costs more). I shipped a 330 pound pair of speakers cross-country with BAX, fully insured, and if I remember it cost the buyer something like $400 or so.

I've had excellent experience with Bax Global, especially with large stuff sent from the US to Europe. Also they are a bit cheaper than most. Lollypop is right on the money with BAX!

Ditto on Bax Global. Most shippers will not ship any individual items over 150 lbs. They shipped my BAT 6200 172 lbs. worth from San Diego to Denver, delivered to my door in two days. Check out their cheaper rate (they have some special name for it), as they generally meet the delivery times of the higher rates.
