Yeah, put DO NOT STACK, and FRAGILE on it, so they know what to break...

Go buy a new fridge and use the box to ship the fairings.
Couple options.

I recently bought new side fairings for my BMW. The box was 39"x39"x16", and to ship UPS was $140.

I'm with Cutty, tape boxes together to *make* a big box.

I think this is the route I'm going to have to go... Boxes that big are way harder to come by than you might expect...

FedEx goes by weight and dimensions... not sure about UPS... and USPS is weight only... gonna have to figure out what's cheapest, most likely USPS - however with them I have to keep the dimensions 34"x24"x24" or smaller... which should be doable...

I'll just rip down some OSB into strips and reinforce the box that way...

I padded the selling price so shipping was factored... I'm ending up within $10-$15 of what I wanted... good deal for everyone...

FedEx will be the cheapest. I have shipped tons of fairings, car bumpers, and even motors. Fedex.

Hit up the local walmart even and get some boxes.

We did a run by WalMart and about 10 other places last night after work... everything was crushed and bundled already... We got some pretty big boxes here at work for HVAC filters... gonna bastardize two of those into one big box.

According to USPS' website, $107 in one box. FedEx is $108... That's if I can fit those dimensions/weight... if I go bigger or have to use more than one box, it's a toss up...

With packaging and everything I figure 50lbs.

The two boxes were different sizes... gonna get another box today that's the same size as one of them...
