I had a great experience with Yellow Freight (www.myyellow.com). If you can drop off the speakers at a Yellow terminal and get the buyer to pickup the speakers at a Yellow terminal you can get a 40% "yes discount" but you have to specifically ask for it. I've found the biggest concern with the freight companies is insurance! You need to specifically ask each freight company how they insure your speakers & tell them the speakers are not brand new. I've found some companies will only insure by the pound, which isn't enough insurance. Goto their website and call them up for a quote. It's actually pretty simple and wasn't that stressful for a newbee like myself. I've used them two times and each time Yellow used a forlift to remove the speakers from my truck and load them up for free. Good Luck
Who has experience shipping large speakers?
I sold my Soliloquy 6.5s on the Audiogon auction. To my surprise after boxing them they weigh 175 lbs! Now shipping has become more complicated and more expensive. They need to go to Newark NJ from Orlando FL. I would greatly appreciate any recommendations for a shipping company. The quotes I'm getting are all over the map, ranging form $285 to $725! Unbelievable.
