Finding reasonable Shipping for heavy, crated speakers to ship cross-country


Would any of you fellow Audiogoners give me advice in finding reasonable shipping rates for two crated speakers, 140 lbs each. UPS quoted $375 and FedEx online showed $310. I originally received them a dozen years ago for shipping cost of about $175 on a truck with a moving shipper with a bunch of other folks items of course.

FedEx ground gives HUGE discount on ones who open an account with them so instead of $310 you will get away with near half quoted online.

Another way is to accept bids from insured professional companies via uship.com which is I guess somewhat similar to piggybee
