Oleg, welcome to the forum. You reminded me of how it was in Singapore during the mid '90s when killifishes are not available in the LFS, and I had to look towards USA and Europe for killie eggs.
It has taken us some time to be where we are now, but I'll help where I can.
Let me dig around and see if I have any Simpsonichthys constanciae eggs for you. I have some Aphyosemion australe eggs but since their incubation period is much shorter, I wouldn't want to try these first (sending them, that is).

Choy, I've not tried sending eggs to a cold region but for plants, a polyfoam (polystyrene?) box works best to insulate.
I can only guess that if the bag of eggs is wrapped with fine filter wool, then snugly fitted into the polyfoam box, I suspect that survival rate is pretty good. Not knowing how long it'll take to arrive, annual-eggs would be a better choice.
I'm back & keeping 'em fingers wet,
