Shipping company for speakers- any good or bad one

I shipped Greyhound a pair of Reference 3A L'Integrales from Boise, ID to Moscow, ID at 100 lbs. for $60 and it was overnight. Arrived perfectly. UPS had refused to ship in original factory boxes.

Had bad luck with BAX--TWICE. Like the poster above;they came out,looked at the speaker---"yup,the forklift did that"--- :claim denied. (Wood crated) Just a couple of mos. ago claim for 9 loose solder joints to one of my CJ8's. These come with "pallatized" boxes. I'm sure the forklift driver lowered them; slamming 'em to the ground.----- claim denied. No, I'm sure they don't damage everything they touch;just everything they have shipped to me. It isn't just their handeling/ it's their iron-clad CLAIMS-DENIAL policy.--If it requires a forklift--don't use BAXGLOBAL.--Unless you feel lucky.

Shit guys!!!
As we speak BAX Global is shipping speakers to me from CA to NC!!!
What "Avguygeorge" & "Cytocycle" have mentioned is giving me a sinking feeling!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed. It's too late now to do anything (by pray!) since the speakers have been picked up already!

Thanks everyone for the input. I'll definitely avoid Bax. Looks like FedEx freight will be the shipper of choice.

Speed, it is all a luck of the draw. As you seem to have decided on FedEx already, just keep your fingers crossed. FedEx has damaged two large and fragile shipments (the shipping parties involved took care of both problems, so I did not claim with FedEx).
I have not used BAX but I see both good and bad news about them.
FYI, a while ago, I had large speakers shipped to me via AAA Cooper and there was no problem, but I have to note that the shipper packaged beautifully.
