Recommended Carrier for Speaker Shipments


Hi,

Does anyone have experience with shipping speakers across country?

My speakers weigh 103 pounds each and they are in perfect condition. I wish to have them upgraded by the manufacturer located in CA. I am in CT.

I am very nervous about shipping them, based on some of my experiences shipping other audio components.

What's the safest way to ship speakers (with cost also being a secondary consideration)?

Thanks!

I have good fortune with BAX but as someone said they can all mess up. The most important thing to me is to get them on a pallet and have them shrink wrapped and delivered that way to your door - this way you know they did what you asked.

If they do this, the only way is to run a fork lift into them and that is a lot less likely than dropping, crushing, etc.

The perfect way would be to do the above but have a custom crate/box made that includes additonal packing that the speaker boxes/crates fit into. Then this is put on pallet and shrink wrapped. Your chances for damage have almost been made void.

Last, as the story with BAX above shows, look them over really really well BEFORE signing. You have only one chance to do this so don't let the shipper push you and don't be too anxious. Find a problem BEFORE signing and you will save yourself tons of pain.

Good luck.
