Global logistics for heavy speakers - help needed

I plan to buy heavy set of speakers (440lb) and send them from US to Europe. The thing is the whole operation must be remotely executed since I do not plan to visit US in a near future due to covid restrictions. The speakers are without boxes, so I need a trusted logistics partner helping me with the careful packaging and sending to me. I would also expect them to do a visual inspection of the speakers before the trip. I do not know in person the seller, so everything I will do, must be based on a trust. I would appreciate any recommendation of the logistics company. Perhaps there are some logistics partners in US experienced in audio stuff. Your help is much appreciated. Thank you.

Buy something else, really. That is a LOT of risk and work unless you have trusted people on both ends. Can I ask what loudspeaker you are talking about?

I’m a huge Infinity fan. I still use my RS1B woofer towers and I have owned a lot of Infinity models over the years. Trust me when I say there are better loudspeakers out there. The years have caught up to them. As an example Magneplaner 3.7s with a good sub will give you everything you want and more. The Magnepan ribbon tweeter is way better than the Infinity Emits and Emims.
