A word of caution.  Be sure you understand the requirements before 
using a " commercially availabel" Type A package.  Testing 
requirements change depending on the physical form of the radioactive 
material being shipped in the package.  Packages tested at one total 
weight will not qualify if the weight of the package is increased.   
All testing documentation must be maintained by the shipper for at 
least one(?) year after the last shipment using that package, on and 
on and on.  Just because the package says Type A doesn't mean you can 
ship any Type A quantity of any form of any radionuclide in it!
