How to ship my speakers out of state

Most freight forwaders (i.e Yellow) use freight trucks (i.e spring-ride trucks) not air-ride trucks like moving van companies. Bax is an air freighter so that's not as big of an issue, as stated above they will not do residential pick-up, and will question any business pick-up that's not related product (i.e speakers from a law office). Through another poster here on a related thread I found Team Air. Now the final jury is still out cuz delivery is next Tuesday....but they were half the price of Bax, picked up at the non-business location (storage faciity) and use air-ride trucks for ground transport. So far, I highly recommend them......I'll repost later next week "the rest of the story". BTW, my stuff (speakers/stands) was 500 lbs.

I have used Dayton Freight (www.daytonfreight.com) successfully twice to ship heavy speakers (160 lbs ea)and they did a fine job on each occasion. They do residence to residence shipping and are less expensive than some of the competition. Be aware if you use them, they do charge extra if you want a truck with a liftgate. In my case I just help the driver lift the speakers on to the truck rather than have a liftgate truck. You'll also have to see if they have a hub in your area and if they ship to your destination point. But they've been good.

It has been years, but I bought my B&W800 from the east coast and had them shipped via FEDEX second day air.

Crated, they weight 768 pounds.

I used Team Air to pick up and deliver 2 215# speakers earlier this Summer. Everything went as smoothly as I could have hoped. The seller and I agreed to purchase new crates and they arrived with only the slightest wear and I believe transit time was 5 days.

Plus, Team Air billed me. Trust, how antiquated.
