Shipping Egglestons without boxes


I have a problem here. I have a pair of Eggleston Andras in Los Angelas, and I need them shipped to Oregon. I do not have the crates for them. They cost $425 for a new pair of crates. Does anyone know a company that can ship the speakers, without the crates, safely? And about how much will it cost? If you do know of a company can you give me a number to them? thanks in advance

I do a lot of shipping of large computer equipment/racks throughout the year for my company. The only way I know of to prevent damage is use a DEDICATED truck from a commercial freight division such as Mayflower, North American, Allied, etc. (make sure it's commercial freight portion and not the residential moving division.)

It's going to cost you a serious premium and a half to ship this way, but it's about the only way you would be able to eliminate excessive "handling" which usually results in damage (only the loading and unloading.) My guess is shipping with a dedicate truck will probably out weight the cost of just buying the shipping crates and shipping them via consolidated freight.

Otherwise, I know a shipper that can do it for you, but my guess is that it's not going to be cheap. However, you might be able to get a deal on it if you're flexible with the dates but no guarantees. I can get you in touch with my account rep. if you mail me off line. Mind you that you will still need to have them securely strapped to a pallet for transporting.
