Question on shipping speakers without boxes.


Has anyone had experience shipping speakers without their original boxes? Would you recommend it? How did you protect the delicate driver elements and grills?

You can go to U-haul store and find boxes! If large, you can use those boxes for hanging suits and dresess. You can wrapp them in bubble wrap (big, not the envelope size), bit make sure that you have enough of thick styro-foam for the bottom/top, and corners. Also Tuesday Morning stores and Music stores, have pretty nice sized boxes. It pays to visit their trash-bins. Good Luck!
Once you get some good solid replacement boxes from Uhaul, go to home depot an get some sheets of foam insulation. Cut them to fill the interstace between the speaker and the inner box wall. It will be professionally packed!
Wrap the speakers several times with Saran Wrap or another thick cling wrap to protect the drivers. This will also protect the wood. Then pack then pack them in a box with styrofoam as stated above. Don't use UPS.
