Best Shipper for Large Packages

I just bought a set of speakers (110 pounds apiece) and had them shipped UPS. I thought this might work out since I could get them delivered in a set time frame (3 day service), and I had to take time off work to be there. The brand new boxes showed up today, and they had so many holes in them they looked like Bonnie and Clyde after the Feds got done with them. What shipping services have other people used with better results?

Have had good luck with FedEx air. I shipped some ADS M15s, which were about 120lbs per, (x2) and some ML Aerius, about 85lbs ea. Both went fine as far as I know. Using the original boxes is important, insurance helps. Have heard more bad things than good about UPS, so I tend not to use them anymore. Plus, if you do enough FedEx you can get a decent discount (40% off is what my company gets I think).
