Pack each bottle in bubble wrap, leak proof bags and double box them.
Don't tell your shipper what's in the package as most will not take liquids and or alcohol with a special permit.

I would use UPS...not the post office.

or call Martin wine celler

I tried that once, it did not work either at UPS or Fedex, they have some kind of scanner that they know its liquid, and would not send it.

Try the method Jeeves will tell you about, it worked for me last year.
