I bought a large subwoofer that was packed by UPS and shipped by UPS. It came in completely smashed -- knobs broken off, corners smashed . .. They clearly had no clue how to pack anything. My advice is that either UPS or FEDX will be fine IF it is packed well. Original packing will probably be great. For heavy speakers, I would only use freight.
UPS and FedEx freight shipping reliable?
Item I want to sell weighs 80 lbs unpacked, measures 25 x 18 x 11, kind of like a large desk.
How reliable (i.e. not damaging items) are UPS and FedEx freight? I've had problems with their home and ground service damaging my package.
Would they do the packing and find the right box and materials for the item themselves, or is that the shipper's responsibility? Do other freight shipping companies have online tracking/delivery confirmation if I choose to use a different company?
