How to ship my speakers out of state

Well, the rest of the story on TeamAir is: the speaker shipment (450 lb crate, 2 100 lb boxes) arrived from Portand, OR to Cleveland, OH in 4 days, in pristine condition, and were delivered last night. Everyone at TeamAir was very helpful, courteous and went the extra mile to explain all the charges to this amateur shipper. Net/net, air-ride quality at less than freight charges. They were hundreds less than anyone else, and provided the best solution. Highly recommended.

Most freight forwaders (i.e Yellow) use freight trucks (i.e spring-ride trucks) not air-ride trucks like moving van companies. Bax is an air freighter so that's not as big of an issue, as stated above they will not do residential pick-up, and will question any business pick-up that's not related product (i.e speakers from a law office). Through another poster here on a related thread I found Team Air. Now the final jury is still out cuz delivery is next Tuesday....but they were half the price of Bax, picked up at the non-business location (storage faciity) and use air-ride trucks for ground transport. So far, I highly recommend them......I'll repost later next week "the rest of the story". BTW, my stuff (speakers/stands) was 500 lbs.
