A four foot box sticking out the top of the pannier was a bit unwieldy for the ride home. For reasons I will never understand, they put it in a box that long. It is a four piece paddle, but for shipping they had the blades attached to the two halves of the shaft in the box. When the store contacted me to say the paddle was in so I could come and pick it up, I assumed it was in a box no longer than about 30 inches, thus rode the bike there instead of driving my truck.
