Best frieght company to ship Speakers

Back In February, I had a pair of JBL 4430 Studio Monitors shipped to me, and a friend helped me, by suggesting a couple, and I went with R+L Carriers.

Total weight was estimated at 350 lbs, they were nylon strapped to a full size skid, and the nice thing about R+L (make sure other shippers have this if you decide with somebody else) was that they supply thier own Pallet Jack, and the 53' Semi Trailer had a hydraulic lift gate on back. Thus, not incurring any extra cost with Fork Lifts, etc, so this is one important consideration.

Another point, is if you can have shipment go to-from a commercial address, usually the charges are less, rather than to a residential address.

R+L appeared to be quite professional, quick, and down here in the Southwest (NM), it appears Holloman AFB, and White Sands Missle Range use them as well.
Hope this helps, Mark

Yes, R+L did I nice job for me too. You will however pay extra with any carrier to have a truck with a liftgate for the pickup and the delivery. The charge will vary and isn't that high but it is an extra cost.

Best I've found is Pilot Air. A number of speaker companies use them and they are also happy to deal with consumers. They pretty much palletize everything automatically and have been a pleasure to deal with on 3 different occasions, with no issues whatsoever (including tubes).

I've also had good luck with Yellow Freight, but you HAVE to specify a pallet or else its a crapshoot.

On my "stay-away-from-them-or-they'll-break-your-speakers" list: FEDEX Ground and UPS.

Good luck.
