shipping speakers

If you already have the boxes and can pack them yourself it should cost about 300-350 with insurance. Try Pilot freight. If you are shipping to a rural area it will be more. Boxing can cost 200 to 300+ for crates. Some air freight companies are less and some pick up.

glen: most such services DO require drop off, tho some offer pickup. drop off is MUCH less expensive. pickup charges also vary between commercial (with dock) and residential. the same conditions hold true on the "delivery end." if the recipient wishes to minimize freight charges, he/she should arrange for pickup at the freight forwarder's dock. -cfb

I recently shipped a set of speakers from Central CA to Texas using a company called Craters and Freighters. The speakers weighed 600 lbs and shipping was as I recall $550.00 which included picking them up at my house and building custom crates. They do have a website which you can get an online quote but be aware the online price was about $350.00 above what I got quoted on the phone. Definately call them for a price. Hope this helps.

Good Luck!

BAX shipped a pair of Acoustat 2+2s to me in Florida from Jackson Hole, Wyoming for $326 last summer. There were 3 crates totaling 277 pounds. The largest crate was 8 1/2 feet long. Don

Also try some moving companies. If they have a truck going your way you can get a pretty good discount & most all of the moving co. vans are air ride to protect the contents. They are also very good about making crates to protect valuble items while in transit.
