JIMinJAPAN Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I'm checking with a freight forwarder to get a pair of Forte IIIs delivered to me in Japan. Can anyone confirm what I found for shipping info: Package Dimensions 39 x 19.5 x 15.5 inches Item Weight 70 pounds Shipping Weight 70 pounds To buy the pair in Japan is around $9200. If these dimensions and weight are correct, I can get them delivered for around $950 including customs and tax. Thanks, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avguytx Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 It seems that shipping weight would be more than the speakers actual weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paducah Home Theater Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Speakers, boxes, and pallet is closer to 200 pounds. Sounds stupid but take each one then add 10 pounds for a box, times two, then add a 35-40 pound pallet and that's about right, that's the value I use. If you want them boxed up with wood then add that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padraig909 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I just took delivery of a pair of Forte IIIs. Klipsch shipped the pair on a pallet with a total weight of 161 pounds (according to the bill of lading). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
