I've even tried this. I shipped a box of 100 rolls of film to Tegucigalpa using DHL. I cost me $150. When I got to Tegucigalpa, I planned to leave early the next morning going out to a remote community in the mountains. The DHL office (when I finally found it in the maze of Teguc streets) was closed and didn't open for 3 days. It took them another week to find my package. Luckily I had only done it as an experiment and carried extra film with me. When I finally got the 100 rolls of film, I had already returned from the trip to the mountains. I'm just glad it wasn't my cameras or something I couldn't do without!
