This has to go by ground and not be x-rayed, he says he's gotten other items that lost calibration from x-rays.  As he's paying, I have no problems with this.  It will be a one or two boxes total around 50 pounds max.  Shipment from here in Silicon Valley to Washington, DC.

Put heavy steel object on the pallet.  Insert your thing inside the heavy steel object and close it up.    Band the heavy steel object to the pallet and liberally wrap it with plastic shipping wrap.   Hire any of the long haul truck freight companies to transport said pallet to your customer's location.    Call your customer and explain how to open up the special x-ray shielding shipping container when it arrives.    Bonus points if the heavy steel object looks like it was designed by H.R. Gieger or has interesting moving parts.
