Mailing perfume domestically.

Basically what it says on the tin.

I am about to embark on a huge and terrifying purge of my belongings, in part because I need to have less stuff (because reasons), in part because I need to have more money (because related reasons). One of the things I have a startling supply of is BPAL (Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab) perfume.

Does anyone know, from "I have done it and here's how" experience, how to mail perfume/essential oil within the US? I've found both "it's a hazardous material and you can't" and "it's possible, just hard." Well, I need to know how.

Help?

Seconding angelamaria's packing suggestions. Also, in lieu of bubble wrap, grocery store brand ziplock baggies partially inflated with air also make good packing material and can be pretty inexpensive and work well. You can adjust air levels in the baggies to desired padding level.

Ah, sorry. I recently discovered this after running out of bubble wrap and found it useful. Best of luck!
