How would you send the treasure box safely?

Assume you have a friend in far far land. You want to send your friend a treasure box, which can be locked with multiple locks. Assume you have unlimited number of locks and corresponding keys to those locks. However your friend does not have those keys. Obviously you cannot send the key along with the treasure box. Sending the key separately is not an option. How would you send the treasure box safely?

You are assuming that you have the key for his lock. Assume that he does not have the keys for your locks and you do not have the keys for his lock. Now try to solve the puzzle.
