     Hi, the new bikes come in a metal crate, strapped in with a cardboard cover on (which isnt very protective)
 
 the crates get shipped back to the logististics company and find there way back to the factory.
 
 I wouldnt recommend using one to ship a bike in really.
 
 there are some bike transport companies that pack the bike for you. have a play with google maybe.
