shipping glass decanters of mens after shave
I am preparing to ship 4 decanters of men's after shave. Any recommendations on how and is there any special instructions or handling for liquid shipments? Thanks for your great help!

I think that most men's aftershave has some alcohol so it would follow the same rule as perfume>>
From the USPS site. You do need to ship via ground using Ground Advantage. It can not ship Priority.
Perfume containing alcohol may not be shipped internationally or mailed domestically using air transportation. Perfume containing alcohol, however, may be shipped within the United States by ground transportation.

If you are packing the four bottles in one box you need to use large bubble wrap around EACH bottle so that they will not bang against each other in shipping. Also use REAL Styrofoam packing peanuts, not the corn starch ones as they smoosh down in shipping and won't protect the bottles. Leave at least 3 inches if not more between the sides of the box and the bottles.
If you do not feel safe throwing the box 4 to 5 feet then you need more packing material.
