How to insure shipping large speakers?


I am struggling trying to find an insurer for shipping a pair of 200lbs. each speakers from Milwaukee to Baltimore. Surely many of us here have done this. It is a private transaction, although if there is no other way, we could make it a business (church) to business (hospice) deal.

We can find a shipper o.k., just not insurers (well, one wanted a 3rd party to crate the boxes, but geez, these are Von Scweikerts that come in a plywood coffin for shipping from the factory!)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Everyone have a wonderful Holiday!

You could consider one of the smaller moving companies - maybe one that moves fine furniture or pianos. I had a pair of 125lb/each speakers shipped to me via one of these carriers - no crates, but handled with care throughout, and they arrived spotless. It took a few weeks, but was well worth it for the results, and it wasn't much (any?) more expensive.
