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

Freight is your only safe alternative.

And I will repeat what has already been said,If you have a serious buyer they will be patient and be willing to pay 3 to 5 hundred dollars that it will take.

Or hold out for a local pickup which might take a very long time.

Best of luck to you and proceed very cautiously,

I will add to my previous post to say that U ship is mostly independent shippers who are making a living by transporting goods in the US. So, unlike Fedex or UPS, the guy who picks up your speakers is probably the owner. Uship vets their shippers, so you are not just hiring a guy off the street.
Of course, make sure they are insured and have good references/feedback. And, definitely get those speakers on a pallet.
