shipping speakers


I am in the process of finalising a deal to sell Legacy Focus speakers. I have been calling some trucking companies about shipping them cross-country (they weigh 175 lbs. a piece). Some of the quotes I have recieved are outrageously
high. Has anyone had an experience shipping large heavy speakers? What companies have you used? I'd appreciate any input. Thanks in advance.

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.
I also recommend BAX Global (air or ground), but the above poster is correct...they no longer pick up from residential addresses. If the speakers are shipping from a business (any business), you'll be fine.
Call Carl Menici at Surf Air in Boston, MA. He can arrange a shipment that is reasonable, insured and prompt.
