Shipping Film back to Los Angles from Foreign country

[Eugene Sung]

I'm going to Peru for a month a will be shooting quite a bit of 16mm.

 

I was hoping to every week or so, ship the shot rolls back to Los Angeles to be processed, probabaly at Photokem. This seems like an easier and safer option that carrying all my shot film for the entire time I'm there.

 

What carrier should I use (FedEx, UPS, etc...)? Can you guys give me some advice and insight? I'm just worried about the dreaded X-Rays from the couriers. Is there an international courier service that works well with film?

 

Thanks in advance
