I shipped heavy Reference 3As (in boxes) by Greyhound once. Worked well and was cheaper than FED/EX or UPS.

Shrink wrap, corner pieces on all 4 sides then taped around. Cardboard over shrink on all 6 sides.

If smallish or monitors, (two in one box) face the drivers towards one another.

Then Bub-bub-bub-bububble wrap it till it bounces.

Then strap 'em to a sturdy 4 way oak pallett fore and aft, and as well side to side, standing upright! That way they'll arrive together, and strapped to the pallett, nothing can be set onto them.

Aside from a Shrike missle or termites, you'll be fine!
great and interesting ideas...boy do i know that i am around a bunch fo shippers......after all that , i think ill just deliver them myself....just kidding, i think the big boys will wrap them , it will cost the crap out of me....i don't want them to deny a claim if one does happen..thanks.dwhitt
Dwhitt: When packing always protect the corners, with the most of protection as possible. Packing material's and cardboard wrapping around the corners nice and tight. And also to make sure that the speakers are wiggle free within there containers. I found placing cheap pillows from Walmart on the top and bottom will give an added protections in their travel.
