rushedI 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?

When using plumber's tape on a BPAL bottle (not an imp, a bottle with a lid that screws on), make sure to apply the plumber's tape in the same direction that you screw the lid on. Plumber's tape is stretchy stuff. Used in the same direction it takes to screw the lid on, it will help keep that lid very securely on. Used in the opposite direction, it can start unscrewing the lid in transit.
(Not everyone pulls their plumber's tape as they apply it, but most people pull it at least a little, because that's part of what helps it stay on firmly. As long as you apply the plumber's tape in the direction of closing the lid rather than opening it, you're safe.)
