The ideal way is for a traveller to take it personally with him all the way. However a number of innocent travellers who have been asked to transport a package to another country and unknown to them hidden in the package are drugs, and as a result these innocent couriers have found themselves thrown into jail. For this reason people usually refuse to carry any packages. The question thus arises can one send such a Sefer Torah by post? It is well known that in transit, postal packages sometimes fall (or are put) onto the floor. Some poskim have dealt with this question and when there is no alternative, the post may be used. However, before sending the Sefer Torah, the gidim between two yerios should be removed, thus making the Sefer Torah posul, and it should then be placed in a container which in turn is in a further container, and one should also ensure that the package is waterproof.
