If you are near a major airport and your shipping point near one as well, call Forward Air, they will be in your phone book or on the net. Their offices are usually just outside the airport terminal. I believe its 40 cents a pd airport to airport, with a $45 min plus whatever the insurance charges might be. Also if you have trouble getting the speaker to their place, they usually have a couple of local moving companies that will come to your house and pick up. Your stuff gets palleted and has very little human contact.Just recently I sent from Nashville to Seattle, a pair of speakers(330lb)for about $130, plus $40 for the local moving company. I even use them for stuff under the minumum, cause a lot of times if the person on the recieving end can pick up, it will be cheaper than using FEDEX or UPS. and whatever it is doens't ride around on a truck all day having stuffed dropped on it just to not get delivered.
shipping speakers
I am in the process of finalising a deal to sell Legacy Focus speakers. I have been calling some trucking companies about shipping them cross-country (they weigh 175 lbs. a piece). Some of the quotes I have recieved are outrageously
high. Has anyone had an experience shipping large heavy speakers? What companies have you used? I'd appreciate any input. Thanks in advance.
