I think it would be a nightmare to try to ship a very large Hoya. Why not start one from cuttings? Carnosa is so common, I'm betting you could get a few people to send you cuttings for the cost of postage, and before you know it, you'd have a big pot-full that would root and then grow like mad. Besides, taking an old, established plant from one environment to another can sometimes be the kind of shock they never recover from.
