Not a good idea to fully discharge a lipo Chris.... They tend to puff and possibly rupture that way. I have never had a fire, but I have had a few cells get real hot. These were in a radio left on all night (no lvc) so the draw was very low, but they got hot enough I could not hold the pack.
No reason to not ship the pack, as long as it is not loose in the package it will be fine. I have shipped and have had packs shipped to me from all over the place and not had an issue so far... Hate to see him toss a decent pack, especially considering what he paid....
