Ordering Boxes

For you to order them? just a few minutes..

: :lol: ,

sorry, I couldnt resist...

It should only take a week or so if you ordered them yourself, if you ordered them through a dealer, it may take a bit longer, sometimes they don't jump right on the order.

I've ordered boxes and packing material several times, even for legacy equipment and have had no issue.

how much do they cost?

When I sold my N801's my buyer paid about $1000 for the boxes and styrofoams and I still had to modify the foam to fit the speakers. Shipping was another $800 or so.

Buying the boxes from B&W seemed very expensive. I think that there are companies that can custom build shipping crates and ship the speakers for less than the cost of the boxes and shipping. I was looking at a pair of N800's in the midwest and there was a shipper that could build crates and ship for about $1200.

Volume Audiogon sellers like AudioPimp do this all of the time.

It really pays to keep the boxes for when you resell the speakers

Of course that takes space when its an 800D or 801 0r 802, but its more attractive and you will get your price.

When I sell large speakers I ONLY have local pickup as its a real hassle and you have the worry of damage.

The last set of 802D's I sold, we put in to the original box and then in to the fellows Galaxy And both fit and were protected.

I keep a separate Garage for storage where I keep all my boxes, and other stuff. its worthwhile

I shipped an empty N802 box from Texas to Washington State for $170 and had had it shipped back for $268. Shipping can be 1/4 the price of the big ones.
