Help shipping a speaker over seas

I'm in the process of shipping a pair of monitors overseas and getting a bit worried on all the things that potentially can go wrong once the parcel is out of my hands.

Any shipping tips or must do's that would help alleviate my concerns that I should consider
The speakers are approx 40lbs each and 12x10x9

Any relevant opinions very much appreciated

Yup that's the route i'm taking and I have the original boxes and packing material now i'm going to triple box them and hope for the best
Full insurance wil be added of course and lot's of pics to show the boxes were ready to withstand a large degree of punishment prior to shipping.

That's all I can do..anybody else care to share their impressions

Here's a few more details as requested

I'm shipping these to Europe
I will be using styrofoam to protect the speakers for each box
The speakers MSRP is approx 4k

I thought Bax Global was only available to businesses not private sales

Are you aware of this
