it can be done but its not the best idea.
put clone in rockwool cube get cardboard fold into a square to fit the cube and long enuff to fit the clone all the way in tape off bottom tape off top pack em in a bag in a bigger box and ship it. dnt use ur address or po box or name best if the clones were cut and made it past the wilting stage 3-4 days best if it has roots to kinda help stablize it
you want the cardboard to be snug to the cube so it dn't move and you may wanna stuff sumthin in there to keep the stem from movn

Thanks Guys!
Yea my main concern was tha plant getting smashed in some ways. The post office sucks and they really dont give-a-shit about your packaging, as long as they get paid at the end of the day. i will have to look a lil further into packaging details and what els i have for options!
MORE IMPUTE WELCOME

Oh yea you have to secure the bottom planters so the plants stay upright and you have to fix them where if they get turned over the soil does not fall out,.I use 4 inch black plastic nursery pots and crammed a piece of tight fitting cardboard in the top and it worked.If you secure the bottom and make it where the soil dont fall on the way your good............Peace

How can I package clones for shipping when customs will not be involved?

For those that are interested:
1 - 20 oz. plastic bottle cut in half (you will use the end w/ the cap).
2 - Cloning solution (I use Olivia's).
3 - Rubbing alcohol (like a surgical operation , everything must be sterile).
4 - Toilet paper.
5 - Newspaper.
6 - Masking tape.
7 - Razor blade.
8 - Thin piece of cardboard.
9 - Plastic baggie.
10 - Most important - Donor plant (mother).
Re-cut your cuttings under water using a 45 degree angle cut. Soak a piece of toilet paper in the cloning solution & ring out until it's wet, but not dripping. Remove the cuttings from the water and place the cut ends together. Wrap the toilet paper around the cut ends of the cuttings.
Place the cuttings in the open end of the plastic bottle and push through until the toilet paper comes out the cap end of the bottle. Wrap the toilet paper in newspaper.
Take & cut the corner off a plastic baggie and wrap it around the newspaper to avoid the newspaper drying out while the cuts are in transit. Secure the baggie with a rubber band.
Proceed to wrap the entire cap end in masking tape securing it to the neck of the bottle.
Take a piece of masking tape and place completely around the open end of the bottle. It helps to secure the top if you cut the masking tape in about 4 or 5 places.
Lightly mist the cuttings & put the thin piece of cardboard on the open end of the bottle. Secure with the masking tape that is already in place on the bottle. You now have a container that will protect your babies. Place the entire bottle in a Ziploc baggie.
Wrap the entire bottle in bubble wrap, place in your shipping box, close & tape, label the package (of course w/ a fictitious name ), and it's off to your local post office. When your package is received, re-cut the cuttings & clone as normal. It took me 5 days to receive my cuts that were sent to me in this method & yet they still arrived in perfect condition. Hope this makes it a little easier for each of us to share each other's goodies.
Editors note...
This is a very nice method for packaging clones and shipping them when the package will not be traveling across international borders. IE: Not past customs. For times when packages are traveling past customs more anti scent measures will need to be taken. Oven bags in multiple layers, are a good way to contain the scent, but they must be combined with other precautions like wearing (and changing) gloves, not touching anything mj with the gloves as you place bagged bags into additional layers of oven bags. Not changing gloves or touching cuttings with the same gloves worn to bag the items, will completely defeat the purpose of the oven bags.

A while back a fellow member here @ OG shipped me some cuts that arrived in perfect condition. I took special note to the way they were packaged & have since had two other members succesfully send & receive cuts the same way, so I thought I'd share the idea.

The biggest problem with shipping clones this time of year is the cold. I have sent clones during the summer and they made it fine. the cold and freezing brings a whole new problem to shipping plants and such. Its works if they dont freeze, just some thing to think about. Your area may play a roll in survival rate.... any plant shipping to my area would be out of the question right now, its about -5 with the wind chill.
