Shipping company for speakers- any good or bad one

Had bad luck with BAX--TWICE. Like the poster above;they came out,looked at the speaker---"yup,the forklift did that"--- :claim denied. (Wood crated) Just a couple of mos. ago claim for 9 loose solder joints to one of my CJ8's. These come with "pallatized" boxes. I'm sure the forklift driver lowered them; slamming 'em to the ground.----- claim denied. No, I'm sure they don't damage everything they touch;just everything they have shipped to me. It isn't just their handeling/ it's their iron-clad CLAIMS-DENIAL policy.--If it requires a forklift--don't use BAXGLOBAL.--Unless you feel lucky.

Shit guys!!!
As we speak BAX Global is shipping speakers to me from CA to NC!!!
What "Avguygeorge" & "Cytocycle" have mentioned is giving me a sinking feeling!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed. It's too late now to do anything (by pray!) since the speakers have been picked up already!

Thanks everyone for the input. I'll definitely avoid Bax. Looks like FedEx freight will be the shipper of choice.

Speed, it is all a luck of the draw. As you seem to have decided on FedEx already, just keep your fingers crossed. FedEx has damaged two large and fragile shipments (the shipping parties involved took care of both problems, so I did not claim with FedEx).
I have not used BAX but I see both good and bad news about them.
FYI, a while ago, I had large speakers shipped to me via AAA Cooper and there was no problem, but I have to note that the shipper packaged beautifully.

Just to follow up, my speakers were shipped via FedEx Freight and arrived quickly and without damage. I did have to help unload them from the truck, which meant leaving work for a few minutes. The speakers, crated separatley, weighed in at 330# each and the solo driver had no equipment other than an appliance dolly to unload them with (there was no ramp on the trailer). Had I not been there to help get them out of the semi trailer, I shudder to think how, or if, he might have accomplished it on his own, however. The speakers were shipped on thursday and delivered monday morning from approximately 800 mi.

Thanks again for everyone's input.
