BTW...If you plan to ship relatively frequently, I recommend the plastic box from CrateWorks.com It's large but still "airline legal." It easily holds my 60cm LHT, large racks, stove and empty fuel bottle.
Yeah, there's place open until 10pm. Still have the transport problem without the car, but I could conceivably get it to FexEx by closing on Tuesday. Don't know if that would help, but maybe.
And, yeah, a dedicated box would be nice, long term. That's why my bike has couplers and a dedicated bag. This is the first time we've ever tried to fly with my wife's bike, so we will see if this becomes a habit.
