How to ship speakers

Always place and stick a lot of "Fragile orange sticker" aound the box provide by Fed Ex or ask the counter.If you have a lot these Fed Ex guys wiill be more carefull all the time.I shipped a lot with this easy technique and never have a problem....always insured your item sold.Good luck.

I have shipped my Zu Definitions back and forth to the factory using FEDEX ground without any problem. It is easy to track the progress online.

I guess I should have read the FAQ's first. Thanks for the replys.

Most important is to make sure you protect the most damage prone area on any speaker when shipped the corners and the bottom of the speaker. They are always damaged with most parts of the body not being damaged. So when packing always protect them the "corners" with the original box if no original box then make sure to add much stuffing and cut up another box and use it to wrap around corners and also using cheap 10 buck pillows from walmart on the bottom and top will cushion.

Remember- If one gets "lost"- you are hosed. The shipper will only pay the cost of one speaker, even if it's impossible to replace just the one for any reason.

It happened to me- the speakers I shipped arrived safely at the FedEX hub in Memphis, and only one left. The other disappeared IN THE HUB and FedEx never found it.

I could not buy one to replace it (that particular model was no longer made) so my buyer, naturally, wanted all his money back. I argued forever with FedEx but to no avail- they said you have one good speaker, and one's gone- so we owe you for one.

And no, you can't insure each speaker for twice it's value to cover this- FedEx demands receipts and checks the value, so the amount you insure it for is really not valid if it's for more than a single speaker.

I refunded the buyers total purchase price and let him keep the one speaker that made it there.

Lesson learned? Listen to FatParrot- strap them together on a skid and ship via freight.
