I recently ordered some speakers (Focal Auria 926) via an Audiogon purchase.
We (seller and I) decided to ship via Team Worldwide for a few reasons:
1. Care and hand delivery.
2. Full insurance.
3. Neither of us trusted Fedex Home delivery, UPS etc. to be honest.
4. Cost wasn’t tremendously more for the above reasons (and given price of speakers). ~$400.
They arrived on a pallet, shrink-wrapped and took care in delivering them to my front door - felt I got white glove delivery when they arrived. And they were in pristine condition.
Personally I felt the shipping cost was worth my peace of mind.
Perhaps food for thought.
