Just found this company:
http://superiorenterprise.com/index....r%20Enterprise
they seem to carry a great selection of shipping products.
I asked someone there (who shall remain anonymous), and was told that the ISTA requirement just refers to a crush strength, and that their boxes meet that crush strength. I also read on an archived leopard gecko discussion forum
(

that the requirement says "should" be tested, not "must"...
O.K. -- armed with that info, and the recommendations of others that one should go through an actual UPS *facility*, not one of their franchise "stores", I'm ready to go back and talk to some actual UPS folks about shipping as a private individual.
Wish me luck!
