Do it the way NGI does it, as you shoot film, number them, then when ready to ship, send the odds and even numbered ones in separate packages, (for 500 rolls though, do four or five packages) that way, even if one or two packages don't make it (due to xrays or getting lost) you still have ALOT of your film, you probably should either have your film shipped this way also (to your destination) or just spend the big dollars and buy it when you get there.(posted 8611 days ago)I can just imagine a person carting 500 rolls of film in a huge lead box on wheels saying "no, it's part of the Intl. Space station, really..." gotta love it...
