shipping speakers

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.

If you are near a major airport and your shipping point near one as well, call Forward Air, they will be in your phone book or on the net. Their offices are usually just outside the airport terminal. I believe its 40 cents a pd airport to airport, with a $45 min plus whatever the insurance charges might be. Also if you have trouble getting the speaker to their place, they usually have a couple of local moving companies that will come to your house and pick up. Your stuff gets palleted and has very little human contact.Just recently I sent from Nashville to Seattle, a pair of speakers(330lb)for about $130, plus $40 for the local moving company. I even use them for stuff under the minumum, cause a lot of times if the person on the recieving end can pick up, it will be cheaper than using FEDEX or UPS. and whatever it is doens't ride around on a truck all day having stuffed dropped on it just to not get delivered.
