Use UPS.... I work for a greenhouse and we ship plants all over the country using UPS. Just make sure of a couple things....1. it isn't freezing weather 2. it isn't over 80 degrees outside(gets hotter than that sitting in a UPS truck) 3. you should water them the day before you pack them into a box so they aren't drippy when you pack 4. put alot of packing into the boxes so the plants fit tight....we use crumpled up newspaper(not the shiney stuff) and packing peanuts work great to if you have some. You wouldn't even have to use the overnight method.....we don't unless a customer specifically asks....it's ALOT more expensive to ship overnight.

Use priority Mail Flat value packing containers and Labels which you ought to order from the USPS save on their internet site. The packing containers and labels are loose. they have distinctive sizes of packing containers. once you're taking them to the submit place of work - ask for transport affirmation after which you would be able to music each and every shipment.

It is possible to ship USPS, but I strongly suggest against it. They will definitely damage them. They don't guarantee their service either. I recommend UPS or FedEx all the way.
Good Luck!
