What he said but try and put in some egg carton (as much as possible) as this is almost the same height as the inside of a cricket box and will definately help in having the roaches arrive in good health.

Air holes ...yes. Cricket tubs are ideal as they already have holes.

Brown paper ??!!

I hope you are going to pack them in a cardboard box with some sort of packing and not just post them wrapped in brown paper
