How do you guys ship large/heavy things?

I'm in the process of selling the last HT sub that I built for myself and I'm trying to find a cost effective way to ship it. It's about 16"x16"x26" and 100lbs. UPS, FedEx, and USPS would be an arm and a leg.

How do you guys ship stuff like this and not get your *** handed to you in costs?

local pickup.

anything over 80lbs gets you *****.

DHL used to be the cheapest. Get an account number with any of the shipping companies and you get better rates. Just sign up online

Fedex is better for heavier items. I shipped a 70lbs Deka Intiminator battery through Fedex for 35 shipped. UPS wanted 42

Ship the driver and tell the buyer to build their own box for it.

Yeah shipping with my fedex account seems to be ok pricing. If you need to ship something that heavy double box and pack the sub in tight to where it can not shift. Alot of the damage you see on poorly packed subs is the subs heavy weight causing it to shift and fvck itself.

Well it looks like the plate amp and port can come out too. Anyone can build a rectangle with rounded over edges.

They didn't but they supplied me

For the price there wasn't anything else I would have considered using.

DHL is very cheap and easy. i can go on my account for dhl online, schedule it to be pick up anywhere i need to at what specific time, as im sure ups and fed ex do also but dhl accounts are much easier to set up
