Extravagant shipping charge

It has become obvious that the shipping charge complainers have not actually done much heavy shipping recently.

" The item weighs 55lb, and it is about 17x17x10 size. The shipping box will be about 20x20x15, and the total weight would be close to 60 lb. "

If I was shipping a 55 lb, item with those dimensions I would not use a 20 x 20 x 10 box, too small. The item needs to be double boxed with plenty of room between one box and the other. Remember, the selling price has nothing to do with safely getting a 55 lb. piece of audio gear from point A to point B without damage. If you want your item to arrive safely, it is simple, you have to pay for it. Shipping heavy items via UPS, FedEx and USPS is expensive. If you want cheap, ship Greyhound, terminal to terminal.

I tend to agree with those who feel you are being taken advantage of. I sold a Jeff Rowland model 110, fifty-five pounds for $63 through my FedEx business account.double boxed no problems. New owner loves it.

Hey big_ greg, that's why this forum exists. So people who aren't sure can ask why

 Thanks, that was helpful.

Try shipping large speakers with insurance!! Wow and I've passed on many a nice pair of used speakers as the seller wouldn't deal with the hassle of shipping on their end.
And it seems everyone in my zip code loves Bose speakers. Not that there isn't anything wrong with Bose speakers : )
