Shipping speakers


Can anyone recommend a reliable and economical shipping or freight company that can safely pack, pickup, and ship speakers that weigh about 150lbs that don't have their original boxes or crates from Maryland to Rhode Island?

I would think it would be just as cheap to rent a U Haul and drive them to the destination if you consider shipping and insurance charges from a third party. I figure it couldn't be much more than 400 miles from MD to RI but I've never been to either state. At 200 miles an hour it would only take a couple of hours to get there.

Wow, that is one fast U-Haul ... ;-)
Definitely don’t use UPS. It’s guaranteed they will damage your speakers and then string you along several months until they 100% screw you out of any payment towards fixing the damage they caused out of sheer employee apathy. I’m still soured and this happened to me several months ago :).
Speaking of UPS, a tangential story.

Somebody was sending me a package, and they chose UPS. So I arranged for pickup at the UPS center, instead of having it ride around in a hot truck all day.

So the website showed they opened at 9 a.m., which was great! I got there a few minutes after 9, the parking lot was empty. There was a big sign in the window, "We don’t care what the website says, we don’t open until 10." I couldn’t sit around for an hour waiting for them, so the 16 mile round trip to their place was wasted, and I had to go back in the afternoon, another 16 mile round trip.

So as parker65310 is still soured after several months, I’m still soured after a couple of years. I’ve never used UPS after that.
