hello.
I have never posted shrimps myself, but I have had received shrimps by post. The last time I payed £10 for guaranteed next day delivery whitch is more expensive then the first class. You would need good quality bags, a heat pack and it is advised to post them in polystyrene box.
something like this probably is ok:
ONE TROPICAL FISH SHIPPING BOX + HEATPACK + BAG + BANDS * COMPLETE | eBay
As well it is good to put a bit of java moss or a small plant in the bag as it helps for shrimps not to get too stressed - so they say 🙂

Generally the moss is for them to cling too but if it ends up taking linger than a day plants can end up filling the bag with co2 as they are in the dark

thanks for correcting me aliclarke86 🙂
It is not so good advise to put plants in then.
If you are considering posting shrimps my advise would be to post them in the beginning of the week so it wouldn't have chance to stuck somewhere at the weekend.

Small piece of filter foam works just as well without the risk of CO2.
