There is no possible way that could go wrong. Especially when TSA or Customs asks: "Are you carrying anything for someone else?"
Then you go on to explain, "Oh yeah, I am, but I know them. They are paying me to do it."

I feel Walmart is doing this and worse by asking neighbors to deliver your stuff. In fact, I often carry stuff for my compatriot coworkers and friends to/from the home country. This was just a more regularized and systematized version of that. All said and done, you're right - even my cofounder and I felt a little uncomfortable being mules for others even if the item being sent was totally innocent. The one and only delivery we made successfully was from Toronto to London via New York for the then CIO of British Telecom. He loved the idea so much that he covered it here http://confusedofcalcutta.com/2009/12/02/hauling-bits-around/ http://confusedofcalcutta.com/2009/12/02/hauling-bits-around... on his blog.
