Shipping heavy speakers


I have had a few offers on a pair of Revel Salon1's that i've shied away from because they weigh 240 lbs each and the offers all came from 800 miles away or more. Can you guys offer me some suggestions on how to ship these speakers? They're in near showroom condition and it would be a waste to see them destroyed. Tks

+1 for the prior post in getting comparative quotes from branded reputable couriers , but with the express understanding that that they are PROPERLY prepared for shipment FIRST to avoid tragedy .

Do you still have the original OEM boxes and (presumed) shipping crates and  other packing materials (Y/N) ?

if not, I would heartily recommend that you first contact the speaker distributor and order up & pay for the OEM replacements as a cheap cost of insurance and peace of mind against getting them banged up and damaged during delivery. 

They are going to be crated and likely also secured to a pallet because of their extreme size and weight,  just even to get them properly insured  for transit
 
There is no cheap short-cut here, so it is going to be unavoidably comparatively expensive. 

Or else ....... full stop.
