By far the easiest way I have found to ship is to go to
http://ups.com and sign up for an account there. You can initiate the shipment there, print the label, tape it to the box and drop it off at any UPS authorized shipping center (they are all over the place).
The staff sees the sticker with the bar codes and addresses and such already on the box and say "just dropping one off?" I nod and leave the package on the counter.
If you go to the counter to pay and fill out the label and such they will ask you all sorts of questions to which you will have to either think up creative answers or lie.
As for packaging, I like to wrap each bottle in bubble wrap, put them in a 6-pack holder. Put a disposable diaper on the bottom of the 6-pack holder. Put the whole contraption in a plastic trash bag. Line your outer box with another bag, and use crushed paper or more bubble wrap to line between the 6-pack holder and the outer box.
I don't use peanuts because they can shift, and they are a pain in the neck for the person who receives them.
