Mark, I have had a TR3 front apron shipped to me in a custom made plywood
and 2x4 box. I've had a pair of fiberglass fenders shipped to me carefully
wrapped in cardboard and tape which closely resembled a box. I just got a
windshield delivered from Victoria British (winter sale) that was wrapped in
8 inches of foam on all sides and shipped in what looks like a 18 inch by 5
foot by 24 inch box. All sent via UPS. Can't say what the prices were.
I'll send you a picture of the front apron box in a separate email, but I
suspect that your filters will keep the attachment from going through. It
was a very creative way of packaging, although I suspect that the weight of
the wood added significantly to the shipping cost.
