Shipping Speakers to China - Which Shipper?


I'm shipping a pair of high-end speakers (German Physicks HRS-120) to Shanghai, China. Does anyone have a recommendation on which shipper to use in terms of cost and reliability? The speakers weight about 65lb each, but have a single box, so total weight with the box is about 140lb. Hence, I don't think they can ship USPS because of the weight.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

I have shipped Krell 250 amps, Wilson Benesch Chimera speakers, shipping them is not a big problem. All you need to do is make sure the items are properly packed, documents in order, item country of origin, invoice and a good logistic company that has an agent in Shanghai. If the importer is working in Shanghai, has a work permit, so much better to import. If you are selling to a local resident, he needs to appoint a forwarder to do it and that may be problem. Fedex will do the amps, huge speakers as well. A bottle of scotch and a carton of cigarettes attitude does not work these days in China.
