LARGE speaker shipping options???


I'm downsizing to a condo and need to sell my HT and stereo speakers which I plan on listing here (Audiogon). However I'm not sure about shipping. I have original boxes but have several large and over 200lbs each and 100lbs each speakers. I'm guessing these would have to go by a freight line. What is the SAP individuals are using and doing for this?

Just want to have all my ship(ping) in order before I list.

200lbs is WAY over 130lbs so how can I use FedEx??? These are LARGE speakers/boxes and 200lbs. 

Before I post them for sale I need to understand and know how to ship them. I see lots of large speakers for sale but most look to be from shops that know how to ship.

Wonder what most do. Should I just try pickup only? 
samgar2 When you says 'crates' is this in addition to the boxes? 
Lets recap

Your op said you had some speakers at 200lb and some at 100lb
So the 100lb ones CAN go by regular fedex ground.

The 200lb ones need to go freight and quite possibly fedex freight maybe the best bet there too.

Now as far as local pickup only goes, I have found that to be huge turnoff for buyers unless obviously they are within driving distance which usually means you may as well save some advertising money and just stick em on Craigslist!

I personally suffered trying to sell a pair of 220lb speakers with local pickup only and yes they sold but at a loss as to what I really wanted and took nearly 6 months to find a buyer.
FEDEX operates two freight divisions, FEDEX Ground and FEDEX Freight. Do some research.
Fedex freight is crazy expensive and I don’t trust them at all based On my past experiences. I have used trucking companies with great success some two dozen times.Never had an issue. There a really many good ones I have used including Pilot Freight, Yellow, Frieght Forward etc...

Have them placed on a pallet with the speakers shrink wrapped fully onto the pallet. These companies may give you a hard time regarding insuring beyond some amount per pound which may not cover their value if lost or damaged. Some do allow you to insure for your selling or purchase price. If not, just talk to your home insurance company as they offer short term insurance for these sorts of things. I have done it several times and the cost is reasonable.

I sometimes, not always, drop the speakers off to the trucking company’s local dock to save money. The buyer can also pick them up to save even more money. This is called dock to dock pricing and can save big money. I have a large SUV, but your speakers may be too big for this money saving option. Their warehouses are most always located in metro areas and often times near an airport.

These freight companies will give you a tracking number and usually deliver the speakers within a week. I have used Pilot Freight many times.

Almost forgot. If home pick-up and delivery be sure to request a truck with a lift gate and jack.
