I got one from Live Aq, and they had directionals (this side up) and so on, bags with plastic sheeting inside to try to keep the specimens from rolling, which was just fine until Fedex thumped the box end-down on my front step. A stay in the sump overnight let me collect the 'wild' mushrooms and get them in cups with a rock inside the sump, but it's real hard to pack against all the handlers. Don't even ask about the down-chute in the luggage area of an airline. I once had a dreadnaught guitar end-over-ended down the chute: it cracked a suitcase it hit. I *hope* a dedicated parcel carrier has better practice.
