I would send it out wrapped up real good... no spaces between the cam/packaging and outside walls of the box so it can't move around at all. Then... consider getting some shipping insurance for what the cam is worth. Shouldnt be too expensive and neither of you will get fucked on the deal. That's the BEST thing you can do because you dont know what happenes "behind closed doors".

a friend from new york sent me a headunit a few years ago and it definetely had enough packaging around it... the day i got it at my front door it looked like there was a footstep on the damn thing. Sure enough... somebody stepped on the package and broke the faceplate off. 3 hours and 2 tubes of super glue later i got it working, but it wound up taking a shit a few months later.

Goes to show that you should be careful.
