Most any service to Kodiak gets there either late, or very late. Depends on the weather as they close the airport pretty regularly, and especially in winter. If it has to go by boat, from Homer to Kodiak, don't send a calendar as it will be obsolete when it gets there.
I have a couple of wooden boxes I made specifically for shipping barrels. One inch sides, and ends, and 1/4" Birch plywood for top and bottom. The screws are the very large head furniture screws with torx heads. They have been back and forth to Grand Rapids with nary a scratch.
