Shipping Heavy Speakers: Freight of FedEx


Considering a shipment of speakers from Sacramento to Phoenix. Each speaker weighs ~ 100 lbs and packed in original box, original packing material. Boxes and materials in good shape.

Went to UShip.com for a freight quote and the rate is the same as FedEx Ground ~$200.

What method of shipping would you choose?

Thanks for the replies. I decided to go with a shipper from UShip. The speakers I will receive are Spendor S100. The original boxes are in good shape with all original packing materials, corner and edge guards. Speakers weigh 95 lbs each, boxed.

I am able to handle the entire transaction on my end.

At the same time, I am shipping a pair of Klipsch Cornscals from Scottsdale, AZ to McKinney, TX. These are also going freight, using a shipper found thru UShip. The buyer is handling the transaction.

The driver handling the Klipsch shipment has asked that the speakers remain as is, no additional packing or crating. He said he will handle everything.

I should have a good feel for this in the next couple of weeks. So far, it seems to be a great choice for shipping large speakers. I did purchase additional insurance thru UShip for the Spendor S100 I will receive.
