My problem is not that I can't safely ship it... I would be 
absolutely comfortable shipping it anywhere in the world in the 
custom box I had made... but that I can't find anyone I can trust to 
fix it correctly who will accept it for repair without the original 
box, no matter that this box is better.  That's a different problem 
without a ready solution.
