We have had this happen for a few things. We did a large scale image
import from mailed disks, as well as transferring Wikimania presentation
videos. (By we, I totally mean Roan, I just connected the disks to a
server.)
If this is something we would want to do with this, someone needs to own
the import part of the project (I don't want to just suggest Roan for this
for all future imports ;) The disk(s) would be shipped (NOT USPS) to our
Ashburn datacenter directly. (Though we have to know about it when it is
incoming, and open an inbound shipment ticket.) USPS and the DC for
deliveries are not ideal. If the item has to ship USPS, I suggest it go to
the office. Then it can be shipped UPS or FedEx to the datacenter.
