Large Focal Speakers Shipping Service


I have an opportunity to purchase a large pair of very expensive and very heavy Focal Utopia speakers. The speakers are in California, and I am in Maryland. The seller cannot lift, package or take them anywhere to be processed. Does anyone know of a reputable shipping company that specializes in full service (Pick up, Package, and Ship) for "Hi End" audio speakers ?
If they are contracted, are they responsible for the speakers, damage, actual, safe delivery ? Thanks for your help.

Last year I used Old Dominion Freight to ship some large speakers and the price was reasonable. Check with some of your local freight companies. If not pleasantly surprised, at least you might not faint from sticker shock.

I supplied a pallet, but they were happy to supply one if needed for no charge. I had the original packing. I shipped from south central virginia to upstate NY. I'm not saying it was cheap, but it was within reason.

I tried Uship but I don't like their insurance policies. They insure by the pound, not by the value. You would get pennies on the dollar should your expensive speakers be damaged or lost.
