I would not send it, esp. if it's cold where you live.
Gluing cork is not risky.
The most difficult part (IMO) is removal of the old cork- sometimes it's barely held in place and comes off easily, other times it's difficult to remove.
Also, it makes it easier to remove the bridge key and D#/A# thrill key when replacing the middle tenon cork.
There are multiple videos on YT about cork replacement, and you can search this forum for the tips as well.

However, if in doubt, I would drive two hours and watch the seller - this way you can do it yourself next time.

***Watching YT and getting all supplies takes time too.
