I've only heard that UPS is the best because they do not x-ray. In any
case, I would think a shipper that only ships on their own strictly cargo
planes would be the best. These type planes are not a target of terrorist
as opposed to shipping with a carrier that utilizes extra cargo space on
commercial flights carrying passengers. These would be a target and subject
to stringent x-ray.

Subject: Film fogging while transported
Hello,
I plan to send some film samples to a friend accross the Atlantic, from the
EU.
My feeling is that I am pretty sure this will be destroyed by X-Rays or
Gamma Rays even (who knows).
I don't want to spoil film like that. I need advices and tricks to avoid
having my films fogged at the customs.
Any trick to avoid it. Some recommend to use a private transporter, but it's
far more expensive.
Did you experience good/bad things with your films sent by postal services ?
Thanks,
Philippe
