Info on Using BAX to Ship

There has been some discussion on this forum about using BAX to ship heavy products. I was told by a dealer that I'm returning some crated speakers to that it is simply like walking into a local UPS hub and dropping them off for shipment. Well, it does not work like that! So if you're thinking of using BAX here are some things to know. Only a commercial business with an account with BAX can ship using BAX. They don't accept items from individuals and they won't pick up at a residence unless you have an RMA for a return. This is because of 9/11; they want to make sure you are a viable business with a good reason to ship something heavy. Hope this saves people a trip to their "local" BAX office like I wish it had for me.

If Where talking about BAX GLOBAL Shipping, You can drop off your shipment at any "willing" business address such as your apartment complex office, a friends store etc. and Bax will happily pick it up. They will also accept your personal check for payment, No business account needed. I just did this to send a pair of 3 series maggies from Denver to MN.

With Menlo Forwarding is even more simple than with BAX: it's simply necessary that you bring your items to their storage, then they have to wait 1 week before ship them anywhere in the world.

I shipped large ribbon speakers to the east coast with Bax Global with a phone call, a credit card and gave Bax the location at a business for them to pick up. This was the easiest and most inexspensive transaction I have done. The buyer had to pick up at the Bax location, but they were there in three days. They mailed me an invoice and I was done.
