Getting a cellphone shipped to Mexico

My son always sends me his old iPhone when he gets a new one. This time, he tried to send it via UPS, Federal Express, DHL and USPS. None would ship it because it has a lithium-ion battery in it. Apparently there is a new law or rule that says anything with a lithium-ion battery in it cannot be put on an airplane. (What??!! What about all those cell phones that walk on board airplanes with passengers? And how do manufacturers and retailers get their phones to customers?).

Anyway, I would like to find an alternative way of getting my new phone here to Ajijic. Anyone have any ideas?

You have to get it muled down. Ask around, LCS, put up ad, webboards, and I think there's a FB page for it but I don't know the name.
