So I spotted a set of speakers I'd like to purchase on the east coast, but I'm struggling to figure out how to get them to Nebraska safely without spending more than the speakers cost. I'm looking to move a pair of speakers with a weight of around 100 lbs per speaker. The seller wants local pick up, so I need to make this easy on him to get the deal done. I considered building a pallet and shipping it to him. Then he could load the speakers into it, and ship it back, but I'm not sure he would go for it, and shipping the pallet both ways could easily cost me $500 or more. Does anyone have an idea how I can pull this off? They are light enough to go UPS or FedEx individually, but I'm afraid the weight would result in them getting damaged from mishandling. If I pay FedEx or UPS to box them, I'm not sure I'll get the protection I want, and it will cost a lot. Are there independent shops I could hire that would do a good job packaging, for a fair price? Paying someone to pack them, and shipping UPS or FedEx is likely the cheapest option and the least painful for the seller, but not the safest option in my mind. I look forward to your advice and experiences. Thanks.
