Packing & Shipping Large/Heavy Speakers


I have a pair of Legacy Whisper XDS's I'm wanting to sell. They measure 63x17x13 and probably weigh about 200lbs (or more), so extremely large. Most of the advice I've read is simply to crate them on a pallet and then ship freight; but how to go about that? I know for freight shipping there are websites to get quotes, but it's really the packing aspect I'm concerned about having never tried to pack anything this large.

Many cities have professional resellers. They take audio gear from trade-ins from audio stores and evaluate and resell. They know how to pack and ship. Or look for local sellers. 

 

You may change your mind on shipping anywhere. I found buyers for a set of speakers only weighing 60 lbs and all told it would have been $500 or was it a $1,000… you need crates built… then what if there is no damage visible… but they don’t sound right? I finally gave up.

 

Admittedly, I don’t like dealing with this kind on nonsense.
