Recommendations for a shipper


Good morning,

For those who have used a shipper i need advice. I need a shipper to pick up and crate and ship from the west coast to the east coast freight. Probably, a box a little less in size than a cubic yard ,and 100 lbs in weight. Any experience ,and perhaps idea of costs involved would be great.

thanks in advance!

@akg_ca  i looked and stand corrected. Fedex does indeed do freight defined as above 150. It turns out i underestimated and the weight os 190. Ups does not. I cant get their qebsite to work but an old fashioned call should help. 

I was impressed with UPS until I saw one of them carrying my 120 lbs amp across the yard on the verge of dropping it the entire way. 
 

Get the insurance no matter who you use. UPS has a good reputation of righting the wrong from what I read.
 

The next delivery was 2 170 lb speakers, 2 rel subs (friends), amp, and a streamer.

For this my friend I just took a trailer from KC to Chicago and took the delivery ourselves. We almost dropped a speaker.🤣

Seconding the use of Craters and Freighters.

I have used them twice for east to west coast, heavy/bulky/expensive speakers. They pick up, pack and crate like champs, and provide updates along the way.
