How did you make a box big enough for a bumper? Those things are huge.
I sold a bunch of things bike related, and man what a hassle trying to find boxes big enough to be able to cut into a even bigger box. I looked behind furniture stores, applicance stores, home despot moving department, and a whole bunch of bike shops. Ended up spending more money on gas than I made selling the stuff!
I cheated. I bought a 996 bumper from LA Porsche Dismantlers. It came in a perfect box.

My brother and I sell a lot of stuff on ebay and often make odd sized boxes from cut down appliance boxes. Check around new apartment complex and townhouse projects when the appliances are starting to be installed.
