By large I mean by area, not [necessarily] density or weight. Preferably something that isn’t collapsable or capable of being easily disassembled. I want the delivery of the item to be a major pain in the ass.

The National Parks.
I guarantee you, for the amount you pay in your taxes for the upkeep of YOUR National Parks, you get orders of magnitude more beautiful land to enjoy than the acreage you could possibly purchase directly.
Before Trump fucked it all up that is, of course…
The national parks are the best value, but dollars to area public lands are less managed and bigger
Outside of the awesome ‘national parks’ answer from someone else, I would have to assume the best cost-to-surface-area purchase in the world would be really cheap land in the American West, Australian outback, Russian tundra, Canadian North, etc. Assuming it doesn’t have oil on it, some of those areas, land practically given away. Sometimes you can get governments to pay you to take it on and try to do something useful with it.
If you consider that ownership usually includes mineral rights for miles under the ground, this really starts to look like the obvious choice of your looking for volume, not just area.
How do you get this free or cheap land in the Canadian tundra, again?
You most likely don’t. You would have to talk to the territorial governments who then would have to talk to the indigenous land holders. And even then it’s a logistical nightmare where the sun sets for a month.
Also if it is Crown land also doesn’t mean that the government is actually looking to sell or develop the particular land even if it isn’t in a National park.
I didn’t say Canadian tundra, I say Canadian North.
Hers a listing in northern SK for $129k CAD that’s nearly 12k acres. That’s $10.75 CAD per acre. That’s pretty cheap in my book.

I’m sure there’s cheap land for sale, but that one is just a typo in the listing I’m pretty sure.
Situated on a large 82X145 fully fenced lot, giving you ample room and tons of outdoor space for your family.
It’s a regular town lot surrounded by others.
Ha. Funny
You’re off by 3 orders of magnitude…Retracted.
You shouldn’t think big, necessarily, you should think heavy. Postage to be paid on delivery.
Lead sheet in a return envelope is a great thank you for unsolicited application offers.
In that article 1 of 11 images is still available. Everything else is gone. lol
Tbh I looked just hard enough to find one not about faeces, didn’t look too hard at it.
You can order packing peanuts for ~$5/ft^3 and some places will do free shipping over a certain value. There are also decorative balloon bunches, though I don’t know about price there.
Liquids would also work. Heavy, sloshy, awkward, etc. and you don’t want to drop them because it’d make a mess.
What do they pack them in?
They pad the packing peanuts crate out with brand new furniture.
Tobias, from accounting: The shipping department is the only one running at a loss. Why is your department ordering so much furniture?
Thomas, Shipping: How else are we supposed to make 1 ft^3 of packing peanuts fill a box big enough to destroy the spine and sanity of the UPS driver?
Tobias: Why would you want to do that?
Thomas: It’s part of the departmental vision statement. The company has one. Why can’t we?
In themselves, of course!
Hay bale - or multiple.
yeah this was my thought, Hay bale
i think i could go grab one for about $6 here in the fracked hinterlands
How much do you want to spend? Used shipping container?
Horse manure tends to be free around these parts
Drywall. Heavy, fragile, 2 out of 3 dimensions are relatively large. Easy to transport when you’re stacking them in a truck but difficult up the stairs for example.
Bubble wrap. Cheap-ish per m³ if taking up space is more important but Easy to carry a roll of that around alone.
Still gotta be careful when they are in the teuck though.
By area activated charcoal has a ton of surface area
I am curious what the purpose of this is
To spite either a delivery person or the person the item will be delivered to.
Whatever you end up doing, OP, you owe us a pic or video of the result!
Heaps and heaps of sand?
Air, cuz it’s free, and by size the biggest object in our planet

True, but land costs money depending on where its at. Water, could be a close 2nd but for the price, you can’t beat free.
