It's actually really easy to mail a bear canister. Bear Vault will  
ship your bear can to Kennedy Meadows so you don't have to ship it to  
your home. http://www.bearvault.com/bearvault_pct.php.

If you do order one and have it shipped to your home, your support  
person can stick stuff inside it and slap a mailing label on it and  
they'll mail it just like that.
