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...
