i have a painted body kit i gotta ship out to another org member. i drove around to 10 different stores looking for a box long enough to ship it out. i checked through some of cardboard only dumpsters and found nothing. homedepot didnt want to help me out. i have a box thats a few feet wide but onl 3.5 feet long. can i flex the side skirts and ship them out that way? the kit is already painted. maybe im overlooking the obvious, but i want to get this out today since monday is a holiday.

 

How long are they? If you can find two boxes that are of equal length and each is just a little longer than half of the skirt, you can tape them together at the middle.

 

my side skirts came in bubble wrap only. screw boxes!

 

its going to be very hard. The only way your going to get it into a box is if you bend it in half.

 

Go to a mattress or furniture store and ask and cut it to width (even places like Ikea/Staples/etc). Length should be no issue both my box spring and couch came in boxes.

 

That's an excellent source for a box big enough, I wouldn't bend the skirts in half unless the buyer intends on painting it again, chances are the paint will flake if you bend it in half.
