I probably would have shipped it to the guy with guaranteed delivery. I've seen the way "throwers" handle bags and I'd be more worried something was damaged or missing by checking it than shipping it. Then you could just check-in online and have a carry-on with your clothes.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
