Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
I'm wondering if anyone that has purchased the CIP or Lucerix mirrors recalls the size box it came in. I need to receive the mirrors by Wednesday of this next week so I have a chance to put them on before leaving early Thursday morning for a trip pulling my RV.
I normally don't like to wait for the last minute but I just pulled a horse back from California (to Arizona) for a friend of mine and she's insisting that she buy me tow mirrors as a thank you for doing it for her (nice friend, huh?). She realized when she drove for a couple of hours during the trip how inferior the factory mirrors are for seeing around the hips on my dually -let alone trying to use them while pulling a trailer.
I was in the process of ordering the CIPA mirrors from http://www.stylinconcepts.com for $349 for the heated/electric version (50 bucks cheaper than Geno's) and was blown away by their shipping/handling charge. They wanted to charge $109 for overnight delivery or $89 for 2 day delivery. I went to Geno's website and they charge for the actual shipping charges rather than a flat shipping charge. I went to UPS.com and calculated what my shipping would cost rom Cumming, GA to here in Gilbert, AZ and it was considerably less than what stylinconcepts wanted to charge (about half and that's with me entering a box size that I figured was quite a bit larger than what it probably ships in). The only problem with me going to ups.com is that I guesstimated the size of the box, which brings me back to the question... . does anyone know the approximate size of the box that the mirrors ship in so I can better guesstimate the actual shipping charges? If I can get the price pretty close, I prefer to buy from Genos.
