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?

My only contribution is that my mom's dad was a post office employee. Apparently anything that was mailed? He would basically throw it across the room and if it survived, it was fit to be mailed. ...needless to say, anything that came from that side of the family tended to be packed and taped up to within an inch of its life.

So if it can survive being tossed across the room by a grown man, it'll probably be okay. O:>

(This is why it took so long for me to send friends some earrings I'd made: I needed to purchase small plastic boxes to stick in bubblepack envelopes before I felt safe mailing them.)

Good luck with getting the stuff out of your inventory slots!
