How should I ship these babies?

Just sold two massive subs. Have the boxes. 100lbs each. When I purchased them, they were drop shipped from James Loudspeakers. I received them on a palette, both speakers bound together. James prefers to ship this way. They say they are handled better. I live on Long Island and am shipping to Texas. I can use your help. First hand or reliable second hand experience: please. thanks in advance, warren.

I've used BAX for larger poundage than that & had them picked up at a friends' business & they delivered to the buyers residence.

Well, after doing oodles of homework, cheaper is not necessarily better as you all know. Also, many shipping companies do not have a track record that I'm familiar with. Also these babies are ridiculously heavy, and getting them to a friend's business is problematic and labor (and time)intensive. Also, the buyer wants delivery to his home. So? UPS it is. I have had perfect experience with UPS over the years. It is going to be a bit pricey: $270, includes insurance, pick up at my door (very good thing)and delivery to the buyers door. Thanks for your tips guys.
peace, warren
