Found a chap on ebay that was selling postal packs specifically for plants but he appears to have stopped selling them now:(

When we do swaps here, some of us use plastic bottles - cut in half, pop plant in, tape the bottle back together. The plant is well protected and the container is lightweight.

Yes I've sent lots like this too. The roots can be wrapped in wet kitchen roll and then clingfilm.

For smaller cuttings or plugs I use the little yakult type pots.
