u-haul has a bunch of different sized boxes. I had to find a 3 1/2' long box to ship a center console from a car (sold some pieces on ebay). It ended up being like $30 to ship even though it was really light. I imagine you could use wrap as long as you protect it really well. Maybe wrap it in that thick cardboard type paper first and then wrap it in plastic.

I shipped a set of door panels from my old Scion. I didn't have any boxes they would fit in, so I had the place I mailed them from pack them. They wrapped them up nice and made a box around them. It didn't cost very much and I could have done it myself if I had found a big enough box.

I personally would strap them together, bubble wrap the crap out of them and then mail them like that...

i ship them all the time. i just use flat card board and make my own box to fit around them. Just so you know ups will charge you $5 extra if they are not covered in card board. Also check out their size requirements b/c if you box the door panels too big then it will put them in an oversize clasification and you will pay double to ship them.

Also on another note....if you put more than one fragile sticker on a box then then your part is gauranteed to get broken.
