How to ship my speakers out of state


I have a pair of Revel Ultima Studio speakers and I am moving from New Jersey to Florida. I want to ship them but I'm trying to find a company that will ship them for a reaonable price. Since they each weigh 180 lbs in their cartons I can't ship them by UPS and FedEx because they only take up to 150 lbs. I wondered if anyone here would be able to tell me of a shipping or trucking company I can ship them with.
Thanks in advance

A couple words of advice, from a both a fellow Studio owner and one who has shipped speakers before:

One, put both speaker boxes together, and wrap up with sturdy packing tape, to ensure they can not get separated.

Two, put the speakers on a pallet, and cut it to size, if necessary to fit the boxes perfectly, and then secure the boxes to the pallet. (FYI: my studios were shipped to me on such a pallet, so I am not sure if that was standard from Revel, or somebody at the dealer was just intelligent!)

Three, insure the speakers in such a way, that if one is damaged, they pay for both speakers. (Nothing worse than having half a pair of speakers!)

Good Luck!

PS Some of the freight companies (Including Bax, I believe) are starting to limit your insurance to $500 for a pair of speakers. Make sure you DON'T use those companies! Speakers are WAY too fragile to even think about shipping them without insurance!
