Need a good shipping company

[SteveL300]

Does anybody know a good shipping company that can box up a pair of L300 cabinets and ship them from California to Texas?

Shippers and craters. They are on the net but expensive! Your looking at $800! If you are able to fabricate your ownd crates using 2X3s on a pallet with 3/8" plywood and 1" foam on the interior......you could get it there for $250 with materials not counting your own labor to fabricate!

Steve I'm working on the same project right now and one shipping company you can contact is Alliance Air Freight (800-684-6359), ask for Torri. His price is a lot more reasonable than Shippers and Craters but he does not do the crating. Suggest you do a Google search for local companies that do crating and shipping/crating, that may be the the least expensive option. A rough estimate on a price to crate large speakers would be $200+/-. Your best bet is a local company that doesn't have to travel a long distance. As Audiobeer suggested you can build the crates yourself but the crate must be as good as a pro or your speakers will be damaged. "riessen" did an excellent post on building crates, do a search for his post and you will find other info members have contributed re this subject.

Greyhound ships large packages very cheaply and fast! Sent a big box of chairs recently to NY - only cost $60 and was there overnight!

Hey, wait a minute!

Are you the shipper or the recipient?

:blink:

I have considered offering a packaging/shipping service recently - perhaps you could be my first customer.

Knock, knock. Where'd he go?
