Bikes: It's complicated.

Another jump of the price is also at girth=105"
So, usually for a frame with fork, I must be under 105" and for a complete bike under 130".
I do not know about other companies, because I am using Bikeflights for about 6...7 years, without any problems.
Yep, that's the magic formula. I often get a box that's just a bit "too big", it's easy to cut them down to optimize the size and get under the number.
