The magic number for FedEx is 65lbs in a cardboard box. Above that, the likelihood of damage increases exponentially. My advice is send it FedEx freight on a pallet. I know this costs more but will radically decrease the likelihood of damage.
Shipping 80lb amps.
I have an offer to purchase my 80lb Odyssey Kismet Mono's from a buyer in Alberta ,Calgary, Ca.. Shipping from Detroit area of Mich.
As far as insurance goes. Buyer is going to pay but who's name should it be in for a possible future claim?
Any carriers to recommend? They would just ship in original packaging ( boxes) .
Thanks,
Russ

Yep I agree with the previous two posters. Ship double boxed and freight. I think it’s a bigger responsibility for both buyers and sellers to spend the extra time and money to go the full measure... to go overboard... when shipping items both expensive and heavy....than what what one would typically want to do. When a seller cuts corners, packs too carelessly, ships too fast and has not communicated with buyer as to the expectation of the actual shipping details... things go south quickly and often the buyer and seller have to fight about insurance and coverage or compensation. |
@benzman I live in that area. Get a quote from Ship Canada. Have it put on a small pallet. Their 3rd party insurance is very cheap. Excellant company. Have used several times and nothing but 100% satisfaction. Request quote from Emma
