lone-wolf Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Ok mega long-shot here... I am looking at a pair of Klipschorns at the moment and they would need to be shipped internationally, I have shipped La Scala's internationally before and used a fantastic company that built a custom crate. The Khorns I am looking at are very, very clean cosmetically and I am looking at the best way to protect them in transit. I figure original boxes along with custom crates would do a very good job - I wondered if anyone here had the boxes their khorns came in and would they be willing to sell them? I am one of those people that keeps the box for almost everything I buy, its a strange little quirk but I am sure there are others out there. If you have kept some and think you would be willing to part with them you might help preserve something beautiful, its a good cause! I contacted Klipsch to see if they would sell some boxes but no such luck unfortunately! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avguytx Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Why don't you call Klipsch customer service and see if they would sell the boxes. Not sure they would as they might be inventoried or they keep just enough to support what they sell. But worth a shot. Maybe they have some "B" stock boxes. lol. Or you might even try Cory @MetropolisLakeOutfitters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lone-wolf Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 Thanks for the insight, however I did contact Klipsch and no luck with them, the customer service operator said they don't sell the boxes. I'll speak to your other recommendation and see what I can dig up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Home depot sells 2" thick styrofoam. Buy several sheets of that, several rolls of tape, some shrink wrap, a bunch of big boxes, a utility knife and a good sized pallet and get to work. Face to face with the foam between the k Horns should make a "square" on the pallet. Then more foam around the outside and cardboard and shrink wrap. Make sure you also tie them down to the pallet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paducah Home Theater Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 they do sell the boxes, I have the part numbers somewhere, ex-VP Steve Jain had some he was trying to ship so I looked into it. Getting them to you may not be the cheapest thing ever tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy for that as crates could have been built for less. The boxes were for the S Series and I had to modify the styro-foam to fit the N801s. Luckily I knew how to do this, I would have felt terrible telling him that the boxes did not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shipping company I am using will crate them for me but this pair of K-Horns are minters and I don't want any chips to veneer so looking at the best way possible to protect them.
