You might be interested in this thread. It should answer your question too.

yes i have been keeping up with that thread but i dont believe it tell you how to ship plants which is what i need to know

The way I've posted plants is: placed the plants into a plastic bag with a small drop of water (just enough to keep them moist), seal the bag so you trap some air in it (the trapped air should stop the plant being crushed), then put into a envelope or jiffy bag. If you concerned about it being crush still, you can to the bag into a small card broad box.
I hope this helps.

Would wrapping a paper towel wet with tank water help keep the roots moist in transit?
