I sent a Merlin to Australia somewhat like that, cut the box down and put PVC pipe crossmembers at each corner and through the BB. Then I ordered all the parts the Aussies can't get over there, had them shipped to me, and used them to fill the gaps. $323 and was there in four days. The "group" of buyers split the shipping up amongst themselves. I think there were about 40 different items plus the frame, most of it eBay and WhyMor items.
