How do box a bike legally for UPS shipping w/o the original box?

I need your help! Please tell me where I can find those kind of boxes! Plus my bike is for professional racing, so should I take it to a store where they can box it? Thanx a lot guys!

UPS has weight and box dimension limits:

Packages can be up to 150 lbs (70 kg)
Packages can be up to 165 inches (419 cm) in length and girth combined
Packages can be up to 108 inches (270 cm) in length
Packages that weigh more than 70 lbs (31.5 kg, 25 kg within the EU) require a special heavy-package label
Oversize packages and packages with a large size-to-weight ratio require special pricing and dimensional weight calculations Source(s): http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/resourc...

Check with a bike shop to see if they have a box they're throwing out you can have. Since you're into professional racing, do you have a good relationship with a bike shop already? If so, wouldn't they box it up for you so you could mail it?
