I use two of those tubes put together to make a rectangular box that works out much better.

I just got 20 of the tubes delivered to me last week; I used about 100 of them last year to ship chestnut roasters sold on my web site.
Nematodes from Florida and many southern states are a big potential problem being shipped into California and a nematode certificate is actually required in addition to a phytosanitary certificate. Shipping soil from many states into California is prohibited. Soiless media is okay, though. Shipping soil with plants within California is okay, I believe.
There are many, many violations of these regulations and it is really becoming a bigger problem each year with online sales on eBay, etc. by hobbyists. Introduction of new pests can be a hassle for hobbyists but can even put some farmers out of business.
