About shipping have you considered DHL or FedEX, they have a pretty reliable global network.

Though it is not entirely fixed, here are some news of a hardware donation made to Wikimedia Foundation-------------An employee at HP in France has contacted us, offering us free hardware. This is a no-strings-attached donation from a few friends at HP who want to support Wikipedia. They reserve the right to mention this donation.
The machines offered are:
- One 4U 6 CPU Xeon 750 with 1GB of RAM
- One 4 CPU Xeon 700 with 2GB of RAM
- One 6U 8 CPU Xeon 900 with 16GB of RAM and 2 SCSI drive max (which
might work as a web server box immediately)
- 3 Celeron 600 1U with 20G/ide and 128M of memory.There were a lot of
discussion on irc these days about these servers and many people got involved to determine what would be best doing. First we decided to accept the offer :-) The 6 servers will be picked up 2 french contributors, Med and Cereal Killer on thursday. There will be a small shipping cost from Grenoble (the city where the servers come from) to Paris, which will be taken by the WMF.Med will install the Celerons. They will have a memory upgrade (the WMF will pay for this).
Yann has found us a hosting company ready to host the three squids for free, http://lost-oasis.fr/ :-)The three bigger servers will be shipped from Paris to Florida. We are currently trying to find cheap shipping cost. Any help/suggestion for *cheap* shipping is most we lcome. We'd prefer a company with good credentials, but there is no requirement in terms of shipping speed, so we might be able to find a good price. Please, help us if you know a good shipping solution. -----------I will set a page on the future wikimediafoundation website (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMF/Main Page) to begin listing corporations helping Wikimedia projects.
