Yeah dude I sent my head to portflow and the thing was a work of art. You will definately be happy. I got valvesprings, retainers, bronze valve guides.
boxed it up and sent it to portflow today 
turn around will be about 2 weeks he said. i cant wait.
i did everything he said to package it. these are the packaging instructions the guy at portflow gave me in case anyone cares, i should have take pics of it, but i was in a rush to get it done and out the door before the ups store closed.
remove all sensors, cam caps, vtec solenoid, water neck, etc
put head in a trashbag (i double bagged it cause i have shitty bags)
cover head with cardboard al all 6 sides
pack in the box very tight. he recommends using lots of news paper, but i used bubble wrap, like 3 rolls of it, lol. the idea is so the head doesnt move around inside the box.
then i taped everything up with like a whole roll of tape.
costs like 50 bucks to ship via ups ground
one importand thing, NEVER use packing peanuts. the guy from portflow told me this and i agree, when i got the head from B (who got it from wil) there was peanuts all inside the head and was tedious getting them all out.
but all in all i had a good day, my rods are at the machine shop getting arp rod bolts installed, and the rods resized
i cant wait to make some real headway on this build.
