Cost and companies for crating speakers

[bonzo]

Hi, does anyone have experience buying large used speakers where the seller did not have the crates, and because you wanted it shipped, you had to organize the packing and crating of those speakers? If you know any companies that do this the US or Europe, please do list them.

If the speakers are in a location you can't pick up and deliver by car from, then you want to call some company to go over to the seller's house, crate them, and ship them over to you

There are quite a few companies depending where you live. an example is https://www.cratersandfreighters.com/
Do a google search on 'companies that pack in crates'

I have used Craters and Freighters and can recommend them.

I would caution against providing a sweeping recommendation of that business. They are franchised, aren't they? In 2009 I had to lodge a claim with C&F for damage caused to a pair of Infinity speakers during the handling and crating process. They initially refused to accept the claim & I had to go hard on them and threaten further action before they agreed to settle my claim. And their communication throughout my dealings with them was extremely poor. Most of the time I was in the dark as to what was going on & had to resort to asking the seller what he could find out. I would never use those snakes again!!
