I recently used discount-shipping to ship my Martin Logan Sequel II's from San Francisco, CA to Dallas, TX. The cost is normally $0.95/LB. However, they have an interesting alternative to regular shipping. If you can drop off and pick up at their terminals, you can ship for $0.65/lb. This is what I did and it worked fine. (Plus if you drop them off, the company will give you the final cost and let the buyer pay for it directly.) Note: rates do not include insurance. [email protected] |
It really depends on a couple of factors. I recently shipped a 305lb crate of Avalon Opus from SC to Illinois and used Bax and they couldn't have been better to deal with. Great service, very professional, and extremely courteous. I would have had them ship back the Kharma CE 1.0s that I had traded for except that they would not pick up from a residence so I ended up shipping them via Fedex, which worked out well too, albeit a good bit more expensive. I'm sure there are a number of reputable shipping firms that other Audiogoners have used with equal success. A couple of issues that you may have to deal with may determine who you use are: 1)weight of crates or cartons, 2) physical size, 3)where the speakers will be shipped from, and 4)insurability. I assumed that it would be very easy and it ended up being much more involved than I had originally thought. If you are buying from a dealer or business, they'll take care of all the arrangements and charge you accordingly. If you are buying from an individual, it could be a little more difficult and you'll have far fewer options. Good luck!!! |
