how many cycles are lipos good for?

It is very easy. The USPS priority packaging is very safe to use. If you wrap the lipo in bubble wrap, the combination of the plasic and air, coupled with the specially treaded carbdoard of the priority box acutally create a small time paradox. The lipo is then tricked into beliving that time has stopped, thus it is unaware of the transport time, and thus will not spontaneously turn into white hot plasma. I have a specially made building to house these lipos, that was actually designed and constructed by Thomas Edison, the forefather of lithium battery technology. The actual working of the building are very difficult to descibe, needless to say it will keep all hobbyists and passing nuns in busses 100% safe.

You are treading on very thin ice, young man. Just yesterday, the entire continent of antarctica was destroyed due to an improperly maintained cell phone battery. Luckily the NCFTINTLAIMLPB (national center for the immediate notification to lincpimp about improperly maintained lithium polymer batteries) contacted me before Canada was lost too (not that anyone would notice that). The risk is real, and dangerous. Trust no one...
