<font face="Arial">I'll be making a shipment to a customer in
mid-January and he has some specific shipping requirements.
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.<br>

Any suggestions for a service to use? He said if someone is
driving this way he'll pay a reasonable sum to make it worth
their effort.<br>

Even though this is from me, there will be nothing that can
explode, no drugs or anything other than electronics.</font><br>

Go to your local industrial surplus emporium and buy a hollow
heavy steel object big enough to contain your thing but not to big
to fit on a standard pallet. 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. <br>
