if you can afford expensive speakers like the NS3000 you can afford to ship them for a small cost. Just cough up the money
Bookshelf Speakers Transport by Airplane - Checked or Hand Luggage
Long ago when I was 6 years old, I carried my dad’s rather large Sony bookshelf speakers as hand luggage from the UK to Canada on a BOAC flight. This was in the 1970’s.
Today, I am looking to upgrade from my KEF LS50’s to the Yamaha NS3000 for my office. Trouble is that the NS3000 is available in Canada but not in the USA (I checked with USA dealers).
Has anyone taken a bookshelf speaker as checked luggage on a flight today? I am not sure if security would even allow a speaker to go through these days.
The Canadian dealer may not be able to ship to me in the USA, but I have family living a few miles from this dealer. So, I can always pick them up personally, and even ship by UPS or FedEx, but I wanted to first see if anyone had taken speakers on a plane?

@kenjit If the option was shipping by FedEx or UPS versus me carrying the speakers in my luggage, I take me every time. It is also killing 2 birds with 1 stone. since I have not been back to Canada since the pandemic. I am just trying to figure out if this type of luggage is still allowed. |
