(size does count when you have to pay for delivery demanded.) (I use new boxes, not old ones with bubble wrap taped around the Tikis first, then around the whole batch,then inside the box so everything is snug but not too tight the box won't close without alot of pressure.*(ie. like those depicted at tikifarm's site on the statue/decor page).
