I refuse to ship floorstand speakers. Won't buy them either if shipping is required. It has cost me money and extended the selling time, but the hassle of damaged speakers isn't worth the risk. For example, the last large pair of speakers I sold, and I had the original packing material, went for 20% less than offers from people who wanted the speakers shipped. Worth it though.
Selling in Chicago you should try "local sale only" and see what happens.
