it is ok to ship them, just make sure they come from reliable breeder or company.
Thanks very much for the info.

It's not so much worry about the breeders since I would go with one recommended from here, it's the delivery people in my area. Let me give examples,

UPS delivery of a $300 set of dishes, they used the box as a step stool, all of the contents were broken with clear boot prints on the outer box.
USPS delivery of medications that should have been brought to the door was found in the middle of the road by the neighbor that almost ran over them and he's the one that brought them up to me.
Fed-EX home delivery dumped packages of electronics down next the road in the yard then had them marked in the delivery area as brought to the front door, after spending 15 min running around the front of the house, back and sides of the house including my car port that's where I finally found the box.

That's the normal delivery of my stuff lol. If it can't fit in my letter box heaven only knows where I will find it and in what condition.
