Use the "breathable bags" and only put a few shrimp into each bag with some java moss or other plant that the shrimp can hang onto. Then take the bags and put them into a styrofoam box and put that into a cardboard box and ship or put the bags into a cardboard box lined with styrofoam and ship. Any extra space should be filled with newspaper etc. Things are trickier in colder weather in which case you need to add a little heating pack. You can find most of the stuff if not all on Aquabid.
