how do RBTAs ship

Although I'm sure others have had problems- as with anything being shipped, if it is a healthy specimen it should be fine.
Mine was shipped overnight in a bag just damp inside. They are very small when you get them. Be prepared to have some kind of container to keep it in inside the aquarium in case it will not attach right away.
Keep a close eye on it in case it detaches from the rock and goes floating around the tank. I had to keep mine in something the first week.

A healthy specimen, especially one that is already acclimated to tank life, will ship fine. Of course, a lot depends upon how well the shipper handles and packages the anemone.
When I've shipped, I've included about 1/2 bag full of water, triple bagged, and used 1 or 2 heat packs (depending upon the time of year). They've all survived the trip fine, although some have been in pretty cold water when they arrived (heat pack failure).
FWIW,
