How To Ship Heavy Speakers With Insurance?


The seller of a pair of B&W N802 speakers and I are having the most difficult time finding a shipper for his set of N802's to me. It is from Georgia to Colorado.

We cannot ship via regular Fedex or UPS as each speaker in its box is around 195lbs. Fedex and UPS limit their shipments to 150lbs per parcel.

When you move up to their freight services they only insure their packages for a vlaue of $0.10/pound, meaning if you ship 195lb speakers, you could get a maximum payout of $19.50 if something goes wrong. As we know these speakers are worth much more than that.

Just wondering what people have used in the past to ship and insure very heavy speakers?

Thanks,

Called Pilot Air and BAX and both said they do not ship Personal or Residential items, only business accounts are accepted.

Any other companies to try?

Thanks,

We ended up going with Craters & Freighters. They gave a very reasonable price and even placed everything on the pallet.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys!
