Perhaps this might help: In Everett, Washington, we have a small business called "The Mail Box." I's owned and run by one lady who, for a very small fee, will package and ship boxes or anything, including books. She ships them, also insured, by either U.P.S. or FedEx.

You might look to see if you can find such a store in your area. Hope this helps ... bob(deckman)nelson
