Shipping company recommendations for large speakers?

I am planning to ship a large (and heavy) pair of speakers, but I need some recommendations on which shipping companies you have used successfully.  
 
Each speaker has its original shipping cardboard box, with foam inserts for the speakers.  Each box (two, one for each speaker) is 62x22x22, and each box weighs 170lbs.  I will need a shipping company that can put the two speakers on a pallet, and shrink wrap them.  

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated! Happy listening!

They respond quickly with a quote. Provide as much information as possible: provide shipper and receiver addresses, indicate residential or commercial, liftgate service yes/no, phone # for both parties, and dimensions and weight of a pallet.

try a moving companies drop shipping option. I've use Day and Ross a few time to move large heavy speakers. last ones were some that were 250lb each they came put them on a pallet and shipped them. no issues at all and I didn't have to lug them anywhere.
