Best way to ship pair of Platinum Audio Speakers?


I'm about to list 7 Platinum Audio Speakers (3 Pairs, 1 Center speaker) and I'm looking for the safest way to ship them while not being cost prohibitive for myself or the buyer. I'm thinking the more compact speakers (Solos, Session, and center studio) can be shipped easily with double boxing with fedex, but I'm worried about the Quattros. I've read boxing them up and strapping them to a pallet is safest for taller speakers, but if anyone has any suggestions or advice, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Lacking the original boxes, I would ask Vandersteen to sell you some new ones. 
If that isn't in the cards, then use a double box method and separate the two with some peanuts.
Also, I have used Uship to ship a pair of 3a sigs. The prices are reasonable and the shippers seem to be quite reliable. These shippers are small owner operators who depend on shipping bulky/heavy items and often use their own vans or trailers, so your speakers won't be manhandled or dropped- Unlike Fedex or UPS.
