Postal is always preferred if possible. Be sure to let us know;

When packing them, envision them being tossed around a room and pack them so they'll stay in the package - points protected - and won't get bent.

 

On the topic of 'bent' or warped, we generally are not equipped to straighten a blade.  It is generally unheard of for a thicker blade to warp in HT, but some minor deformation should be expected in thin blades - particularly 1/16 and very long 3/32.  We do our best to minimize this.  Some makers have had best results just profiling thin blades before HT and then grinding the bevels hard.
