Shipping a TEC cooler could get interesting. You need to get rid of the heat somehow. Cooling fins on a package would be interesting. The airlines don't like dry ice. You could try an ice pack/gel. If it's well insulated, the TEC will be off. The heater won't take much power. It's just a matter of how much insulation you need. What's the hysteresis on a resistor? Is it really important to ship it powered up? -- These are my opinions.
