shipping medical supplies

I would like to ship some medical supplies to a vet friend in cabo for humane work. There are so many different regulations regarding this stuff in mexico (ie a stainless steel sink for a restaraunt is different than the same sink for a medical clinic....?) Any way, anyone have a suggestion for a guy who will ship some antibiotics, supplies, etc from SoCal to cabo?

A couple of years ago, I flew into Cabo with 8 disassembled dog crates for the sanctuary in Pesacdero. When going thru customs, the customs agent warned me in his best English that bringing medicine in for the animals was not allowed. I assured him I wasn't bringing any in, just the crates, but he made me take all the tape off the crates and went thru all the pieces to make sure I wasn't smuggling any medicines into the country. After that was done, he again warned me, in the same words....no bring medicina for perros aqui.
