I google and located a retail/wholesale box company in my area. Lucky, I was able to only buy only one box. The had a box in regards to length and width, but I had to cut the height down which was no big deal.

I sold my stock heritage seat to a Louisiana member here a few years ago and shipped it to him in a mustang seat box that I kept the stock seat in

Start using that Amazon Prime membership in an addictive way and you'll have more boxes than you'll know what to do with soon enough.

U Haul sells lamp boxes in two sizes that should fit the seat.
12" x 12" x 40"and 15" x 15" x 48". I just cut the length down to the size I need.

Good luck with the seat. I had to ship mine back a couple times and by the time I paid to ship it there three times total I was rapidly approaching the cost of getting one of the more expensive aftermarket ones.

Seat was good after three times, but in the end I ended up getting a Two up mustang anyways.

However, this was for a Suzuki Volusia so the stock seat wasn't as good to start with as yours.

Keep in mind the box has to be sturdy enough for round trip.

They also charge a premium for it too, at least the ones around here.
