If it's a bike, I'd suggest taking the wheels out of the box and trimming it down to suit the remains of the bike. Then get a second box for the wheels and cut that to size too.

If you can trim them down to USPS limitations (length + girth = less than 108"), you can easily ship both boxes for under $100 each with USPS. Couriers might be even cheaper with such reduced sizes.
 
its a frame with some parts attached no wheels or forks

i ve been messing around on fed exs website for hours an got no were it wont save the details or select any otherdrop off point apart from one right out side the guys house an he s at work
not got a price yet either
the whole now seems a total waste of time
 
i sent a gt lobo to germany from uk once the buyer arranged shipping via fed ex if i remember it cost around £60 dont understand how i m getting sky high prices
 
You need some good practice!
A 21" frame with a 24" top tube easily fit into a box 36" x 8" x 28", which suits USPS max size, or even smaller. You have to take the forks off though, and trim the box down...
