FedEx does not Xray. I just received a batch of Efke film from Germany via FedEx and it was not Xrayed. I have an online FedEx account and can print a FedEx waybill anywhere there is an online computer. Like an internet cafe or wherever. In cases where I had specific times already set-up, I printed out FedEx waybills for both sending and receiving before I left home. FedEx online lets you tell it when you are going to ship. The date really doesn't matter because the waybill is valid anytime after it is printed. Jim - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
