FedEX refuses to say whether their packages are submitted to x-ray (for security reasons), but they will say that it is highly unlikely that packages will be x-rayed. The only problem is that it is very expensive. I sent a small box of film to Honduras as a test. It got there fine with no damage but cost over $100 for next week delivery! FedEx and UPS do not go all of the places I do. I wish there was an easier way. This time I carried twice as much film as I thought I would need and left half of it in a refrigerator in Honduras. Now I just have to hope that it's still there when I return and that the electricity has not been off for extended periods of time! Leically, Tina Tina Manley http://www.tinamanley.com
