Be wary, there are many out there there that will get the information (in particular your home address) and do many other things with that information.
We just had a news story here about people paying for a car with a cashier's check, and of course it was bogus, and off they drove with a the title in their name etc etc etc....
The concern about shipping raises big red flags for me, but there is the chance it is legit. If it is, get them to tell you what their preffereed shipper is, and that you will deliver it their shipper.
They "claim" they will wait for the check to clear, but check with your bank upon deposit, how long that really is. Many times it can clear your account, but not theirs and you will be stuck with any missing funds.
Always error on the side of caution, and devulge as little personal information as possible.
(I won't go into what a sad state that this country has come to, when we have to go to these drastic measures just to sell a car!)
