Shipping Speakers & Big,heavy items


To all;

I have tried to ship speakers, big boxes ,heavy boxes, and expensive to ship & expensive items
Not much luck , and consider Parcel (ups- fed-x) shipping a dangerous proposition for expensive fragile audio
Cost were $800+
Some $2000+

I ran into the perfect solution,that is easy , straightforward , excellent and cost effective

It is for Freight/LTL 
They give you multiple quotes, multiple options ( residential pickup & delivery or freight center to freight center)
They offer solutions and suggestions on "the best way"
And they offer an easy way to insure the $$$ items.
And fast
Note: Costs are very good!!!!!

The other part is they are a broker 
so, All freight companies are open to using 

And, They are not self insured and all the “ battles” that insue with that, if issues 
The insurer is Loyd’s of London and they email you an Insurance Certificate 

so far, pretty good stuff

You shipped on a pallet or parcel( just box?)

If you shipped just box, you got the normal. If you see how oversized packages in Parcel are handled, you would never do it, again

they physically throw the packages down chutes and into plastic carriers from 3-10 ft, plus they are frickin heavy and they don’t want to do it

freight on pallet is only way, that way fork trucks can be used

sorry

jeff

ps: insured?

Some people make a huge deal over packing
1) put speakers back
im OEM packaging 
2) Go to Home Depot & buy a pallet with a kit of 4 ratchet straps and mount to pallet 
or build a pallet with 2x4 ‘s 
$30 bucks 
 3) Trucking companies will pick up at door , if wot want or take to shipping company with pickup 

If you need a complete pack, pickup & ship ( $2000 or so)

a little effort goes a long way 

It appears audiophiles are not very handy .........

call the phone number on email, he’s a lot of help
