    75cm³ is about the size of a cup, so I'm guessing they mean a normal (~75m³) shipping container. It's tempting to blame the metric system, but it's more likely that the person writing the copy had an arts education and doesn't have any idea about technical things like volumes, or numbers, or cars...

    75cm³ is 75ml if you want to convert it to volume... a bit over 2.5 oz, I think. That would be cool... shipping an entire race team worth of supplies in the volume of a double-espresso, plus some room to spare! :D

    Maybe the containers are being made by Lilliputians. :D

    I carry most of my equipment in my check in bags on the plane! I've carried nearly everything on the plane which has given the TSA folks a few scares. hahaha
