shipping speakers


I was wondering how sensitive are speakers to shipping? Are they often broken in transit? Whats the best way to pack them?

I ran into a real quandry when I tried to sell my Alon Circe's. They were too big for Fedex and for UPS and the only other shipper in the area, BAX, required that they be shipped from a business. Since I work part time as a host for an NPR radio show, I tried registering this business with BAX. All went well, until they asked to come visit my "business" to make sure that it was legitimate. When I told them that the business was run out of my house, they said this would not work and that I was SOL.

The other option I was exploring was shipping the speakers from my wife's medical office. They would have had to get registered with BAX and I would have had to bring the speakers to her office for pick-up.

Fortunately, I then found a buyer who was willing to drive to Knoxville to pick up the speakers!

In these times, it is increasingly difficult to ship large items from individual to individual.
