There is a service that makes a special bike box and ships Fedex store to Fedex store in the lower 48. I think they are looking at expanding over seas but have not got the numbers to work yet. Forget the name, but I saw someone who used it last summer. The boxes are very well designed. You do not have to take the pedals off or turn the bars. There is room in the box for packs.
