shipping speakers

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.

Krell recommends "Ocean Air" and I have used them several times. They are great and reasonable.

I've used Craters & Freighters on shipping large audio speakers in the past with great success. They are nationwide and are very reasonable for the service they provide. I shipped Talon Khorus speakers (without the original shipping crates), Magnepan 3.6s and Carver Amazings speakers. And every time I've received great service and satisfaction. Check my FB as I've done this a time or two......
