Packaging floorstanding speaker-tips?

Mstram go to the special services at the Bax Global website. You will find residential pickup and delivery in this menu. It's an extra $30.00 for each option.$60 if coming from and going to a residence. Set up your shipments on the site.. you shouldn't have any problems. It doesn't hurt to ship them from work and to someone's job either.. if possible. This saves the 60 bucks. Been there done that!LOL

I have been in the shipping and receiving buisness for over
20 years. By my experience, Fed Ex 'Red' (not green) does the best job of package handling. I have never worked for any carrier, only dealt with them at various locations around the country. I have never received a mishandled package from them !
Just a thought.

Like most of you, I have been buying and selling items for years. No problems with shipping for a long time, but I'm now on the cold streak from Hell. Last 3 deals:

1). Bax lost a 150 lb Cinenova Grande amp in the wooden crate.

2). DHL smashed the cage on a dbl boxed Rotel amp.

3). DHL dinged the corner on a dbl boxed pair of Totem Forests packed with extra padding.

Have the carriers gotten more careless recently???

sence reading this thread ive been using newbee's suggestion to pack & ship out everything ive sold,it works fantastic!!

ive shipped huge speakers, a subwoofer,amps, preamps & cd players all without even a dent in the boxes.

this method is a little pricy to use but it sure beats anything ive ever seen, your gear will arrive safe.
