How to insure shipping large speakers?


I am struggling trying to find an insurer for shipping a pair of 200lbs. each speakers from Milwaukee to Baltimore. Surely many of us here have done this. It is a private transaction, although if there is no other way, we could make it a business (church) to business (hospice) deal.

We can find a shipper o.k., just not insurers (well, one wanted a 3rd party to crate the boxes, but geez, these are Von Scweikerts that come in a plywood coffin for shipping from the factory!)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Everyone have a wonderful Holiday!

Just to close this topic, I went with BAX, especially after the quote on the phone was half the price of the web form estimate! And they covered insurance for the stated value. I chose the slowest method and they got them from a snowstorm near Milwaukee on the Friday afternoon between Christmas and New Year's to Baltimore by Monday morning. The people on the phone and the delivery driver could not have been more courteous. No affiliation, usual disclaimers, etc., just a happy customer
Congratulations on your safe shipment. Not knowing better, we shipped some very heavy speakers (coffin crated) with FedEx Freight a few years ago and they tried to weasel out of paying for insured damages for 6 months, before we finally reached a "settlement". They had dropped the speakers from a height estimated to be 10-12' and were trying to argue that if properly "packaged" there shouldn't have been any damage. What a joke........ SHIPPER/SHIPPEE BEWARE!
Update- Just shipped using Yellow Freight and a pallet with excellent results. The pallet was definitely the key - it keeps people from doing dumb things, most of the time.
Just received large speakers shipped by Pilot - no problems. This seems to be an "under the radar" shipper, but they did a great job - apparently several speaker manufacturers use them with excellent results.
