Question on shipping speakers without boxes.

Wrap the speakers several times with Saran Wrap or another thick cling wrap to protect the drivers. This will also protect the wood. Then pack then pack them in a box with styrofoam as stated above. Don't use UPS.

bring them to ups office and let them do the job.

The local ups store(which used to be mail boxes) is as good as the local manager. If she/he has read all the manuals and has good workers,they will make boxes-for a price. They will cradle everything in styrofoam, wrap everything against mositure,and enclose it so it will take rough treatment without the contents being damaged.

Thanks all for the responses. My original message was a little misleading. I'm thinking of buying speakers where the seller does not have the original boxes. What happens if the speakers are damaged and the seller feels they did an adequate job with the boxing? The shipping company will not insure against bad packaging. Has anyone had good/bad experiences with buying speakers this way? Thanks again.

In this case I'd rather hit the road to pick them up.
