International Freight Service. Help pls.


Somebody bought my Verity speakers from Netherlands. The speakers will be in two separate flight cases. One weighs 160 lbs. and the other weigh 80 lbs. I called Bax Global/Schenker which is the buyers preferred carrier but they won't deal anything personal and they don't want to pick up on a residential address either. What shipper will take a 160 pounder and will pick up from a residential address?
Thanks for taking your time.

Where is the local Bax depot located? Take it to them if you or a friend have a truck. Or have them pick it up where you work if possible for you.

In my experience they will ship for anyone. What they might mean by no "personal" is over-the-counter cash shipments like UPS and the post office do. You will probably need to set up an account and pay by check or credit card.

There are lots of customs issues, etc, so personal shipments are a problem. They need to have lots of information on you on file.

Otherwise, check with DHL and see if they will do shipments that heavy.
