And they reuse the box on the way back to the States cause they bought some ROTA rims.

I love it when they buy a nylon bag to wrap around the box, why not buy luggage instead I say?

On a connecting flight from China, it was raining hard and I saw alot of folks with messed up boxes when they arrived in the states due to box luggages.

You should market a plastic or a composite balik bayan style box so you can use it all year round.
