Guess what.  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!
