This is what I've seen when receiving live "goods".
Styrofoam. (6 pieces for each side including the top and bottom)
Newspaper to help insulated it and keep the bag nice and snug.
And heat packs if needed. (As well as the fish bag itself!)
It changes from person to person, but hopefully you get come sort of an idea about what to do now.
I just received a shipment of snails today and they were packed in baggies of water in a styrofoam box with a cold pack. They were all healthy.
I received a shipment last week without the styrofoam or cold pack and they were mostly dead. So, I recommend styrofoam and cold pack if you live anywhere hot.

cold pack usually last a day but its better than nothing. Styro foam can be bought at home depot at the wall section .
Wrap them in a damp paper towel w/ a little extra water, and then put them in a baggie. Then box however you want.
