Who has experience shipping large speakers?

I sold my Soliloquy 6.5s on the Audiogon auction. To my surprise after boxing them they weigh 175 lbs! Now shipping has become more complicated and more expensive. They need to go to Newark NJ from Orlando FL. I would greatly appreciate any recommendations for a shipping company. The quotes I'm getting are all over the map, ranging form $285 to $725! Unbelievable.

Yes my speakers (300lbs each packaged) had to be shipped via
freight carrier. It was Overnight Freight. $550 back in 1995.
Pretty wild to see an 18-wheeler pull up to my door. I must
say they did an outstanding job. The boxes didn't have a mark
on them, and these were two refrigerator-sized boxes! Seems
like UPS can't get that type of performance with a 20lb CDP.
