How should I ship these babies?


Just sold two massive subs. Have the boxes. 100lbs each. When I purchased them, they were drop shipped from James Loudspeakers. I received them on a palette, both speakers bound together. James prefers to ship this way. They say they are handled better. I live on Long Island and am shipping to Texas. I can use your help. First hand or reliable second hand experience: please. thanks in advance, warren.

Warren you need to ship them on a palette and have the whole of it wrapped in shrink wrap. I shipped a pair of Servo 15's from Kentucky to L.A. in this mannner with no problem. Fed Ex has a freight line I have used as well as Conway both have excellent handling facilities. For you the biggest problem is getting them to the depot as Kehut said, residential pickup would be tough to make happen...and then what about the shrink wrap. Tom
Pack them up and put them back on the pallets if you can. Have Bax Global move them for you, but I don't think they pick up from residential addresses. You may need to take them to work with you, or drop them off at Bax near you.
Hi WarrenH,

I just had an experience of shipping a 98# amp from PA to CA and back without incident. The key is to double box it in a box that is double walled and to get it there as fast as possible, in my case it was three days.

I'll send you a PM to give you more details.

It is best to separate the two subs. It will keep the weight down and give you more options to choose which shipping service (UPS, FedEx, etc.) to use. I have taken a pallet and cut it in half and used it to ship heavy delicate items. It will keep the weight down and minimize damage. Shrink wrap items to the pallet and double box if possible. At this time of year business is booming for shippers and the priority is to get the packages to your door on time not in what condition.
