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

I have just spent AUD$1500 (ins inc) shipping a rare 30kg turntable 1000kn to from Sydney to Brisbane. I went through all the freight companies with out satisfaction. Then went to removalists who said "oh that will need special wrapping and a crate... how about that. The TT was bought for $6000 insured for $8000, and I made sure it was moved like a fragile egg.

Do the same with your speakers. Its worth it in the end. There is a topic that is repeatedly deleted, innocent advice as well, due to equipment severely damaged en-route from store to buyer. Make sure everything is accounted for the way YOU want it before the speakers move.
