Can I buy a VIA Rail bike box without travelling by VIA Rail?

I just phoned VIA rail and apparently any manned station has boxes or will provide a bag for your bike if they are out of boxes.

VIA Rail no longer sells bike boxes.

The baggage staff at Toronto Union Station has confirmed to me orally that VIA Rail has stopped to sell bike boxes. Travellers who wish to take their bicycle as checked luggage do not need to pack their bicycle in any way.

Greyhound does still sell bike boxes at 10$ each, to travellers or non-travellers. Dimensions are 26 cm x 89 cm x 143 cm. It does not fit a normal bicycle with the wheels still on. I can barely fit my bicycle if I take the front wheel off; for a touring bicycle that has fenders, luggage racks, lights etc., it is not a convenient alternative.

Via Rail baggage policy lists “Bicycle box (for non-travellers)” for $20 “available in certain stations only”.

Also, https://greyhound.ca/en/ticketsandtravel/baggageinformation.aspx

Bicycle boxes are available from Greyhound Courier Express at selected terminals for $10 each (plus GST).

Perhaps the Greyhound box is large enough too.
