HELP Best way to ship 160 lbs. speaker?

Hi,
I searched this forum and can't really get a clear answer on what is the best way to ship a package over 150 lbs. Im disabled so I'm only looking for a freight service that can pick up from a residential and deliver to a residential. I know Bax Global and FedEx freight service do not pick up in residential. I also contacted UPS Logistics and they won't let me insured it for more than $100 they said because it is used item. I tried to search "Rodeway trucking or Rhodeway trucking" but no results. Audiogoners, Pls. help.
Thanks,
Royy

Several years ago, I bought a pair of used Vandersteen 3A's from John Rutan at Audio Connection in Verona, New Jersey. The speakers were shipped by a freight/trucking firm that Rutan normally uses when shipping heavy speakers / audio gear. I'm not I correctly remember the name of the trucking firm, but I'm sure if you called John Rutan, he'll be glad to help you. John's phone number at Audio Connection is 973-239-1799.

Call Vintage Transport-800-333-0056 x 2002. No crating required and they will pick the speakers up from their present placement.

You can also try the company that JTinn uses in Portland. I think it is called Adcom. I have spoken with them several times. They are very easy to work with. Jonathon's website is Chambersaudio.com.
