Bruce,

The box is about 8" by 10" by 3". It looks like the kind of box you would
get maybe a video card in or a sound card.  It is a hard cardboard box.  It
did not fit in our mailbox so the postman brought it to my door.  Keeping my
fingers crossed that you get it soon.





--Best regards,

Can you describe the box, so I know what to look for?
