Is UPS the only shipper who can handle this? Postal service would not ship bleach or things like that.
If UPS does ship, do you have to pack it in a particular way? Would it cost more?

FEDEX ships liquids.

All kidding aside. Put the chemical bottles in a zip lock bag in addition to the padding.
I remember having to ship via FedEx, 18 large cooler with groundwater samples. We even had to pack the samples with ice. FedEx had no problems shipping them. I did not handle the chain of custody, so I'm not sure if we checked off that this was contaminated water.

How about UPS? What should I do if I need to ship 5 liters of bleach?

Assuming you are in the continental US. Just for making this a much simpler answer.
I suspect you will need to ship bleach "ORM-D" which means (among other things) surface transport only. FedEx Ground or UPS can handle this. USPS won't do it. 5 liters might be too much and might require "hazmat" shipping. Best thing to do is call UPS and ask.
Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ORM-D for more information.
