Possible issues:  

 

crushing - possible, but protectable easily.  I mostly understand about this.

 

Use a padded envelope and you should be ok

 

EMP (electromagnetic pulse) messing up the memory -  I _don’t_ understand how this might happen, nor how to protect against it.

 

Don’t  worry about this flash is not susceptible to EMP

 

Excess temperature - how high can these puppies go, in storage, anyway?

 

-25 to 85 c is the no operating temp for most flash so you should be fine. 

 

Mail theft - ship it from an official PO, trust the kindness of strangers.   OK?

 

I would suggest using a mail service with tracking like UPS or FEXEX and will will be fine
