Thanks everybody for all your help. I got the amp in safe and sounf with yellow freight. there was no sign of damage anywhere in the box, the amp was shipped in the original double box. I love this amp.it's a Pass Labs X350. The look is incredible. by the way, if anyone ever need a motorcycle part,let me know I will more than glad to help with any o your power sports need.

Thank you guys

I don't like to use UPS in general, but I believe they offer a packing service, which does a good job of packing and they may actually pay insurance claims if you use their packing service. I am not recommending UPS and I don't know if they would pack your amp but they are worth checking out.

I had 200lbs. shipped from CA with Pilot Air. Good rate too.

I have used fedex ground with out any problems, I think there limit is 170 pounds. If you dont have the original box, just find a box store in your area and purchase some bubble wrap and two heavy duty boxes. Wrap the amp in a few layers of bubble wrap and place it in the first box, wrap that box in bubble wrap and place it in the second box.I have used this method many times without any problems at all.

I would strap it to a pallet if possible. Check freight forwarders. If you can take it to and pick it up from airport, air freight is probably the safest, quickest, and possibly even cheapest.

The Idea of the impoosibly heavy or superheavyweight amp has always been a fantasy mine. Even though I think the fact that at least you get something of true substance for all that money is more effective in proclaiming by gross tonnage that this is a mighty beast indeed it must be powerful. Shipping them around should always be the sellers responsibility.
If you can use a phone and can clearly use a computer just keep inquiring until there is a "Of course yes we will ship whatever you like if it is legal to do so, Sir! (or whatever your title is) and proceed with the logistics and find out that will cost you a trip to the ER for back spasms or worse. The other problem in selling an old Krell is that people used to have other people who were skilled in the art and poetic dance of immensely strong elepantine men. People actually made a career and not earn a living carrying shit for other people.
I am no lightweight and carried some very heavy things (I was a lifter in College) but even trying to tote my latest aquisition a Jadis DA 60 represents a significant trial. Its about 80lbs a feather once but 30 years later a full story down a flight of narrow stairs then through an obstacle course to a platform.
Therefore there should be regional offices for examing, testing and purchasing. Then a completley do it yourself method to carry the objects to their new home. My .02

Bax Global, but they may only handle business to business.
Fed Ex. Frieght I think is another that should be checked out.
