Selling Large Speakers - How to reduce shipping?

I'm selling my Thiel CS6 that weigh about 200lbs each in their original shipping boxes. I'm looking for help in finding an economical, safe and insured way to ship these speakers within the USA. Both UPS and FedEx have a limit of 150lbs for normal shipping although UPS offers a Freight service that I found to be very expensive ($1000-$1200 to ship from Michigan to Texas or California). The speakers are packed in their original boxes that are 23x17x56 and weigh about 200lbs each. Any suggestions out there? Thanks in advance. Steve

I tried calling Bax Global now called DB Schenker. It seems they don't deal with private customers. I asked them if I could drop off my speakers at one of their locations. Their reply was that I am an unknown shipper and they will only deal with businesses.

Thanks for all the replies. I'm checking into some of your suggestions.

Thank you all for your tips. I called Pilot Air and their quote is very reasonable, under $300 including delivery to residential, insurance and palletizing and banding. Great tip! Thank you very much. Steve
