Good. Probably. Yes, it's being shipped. Insurance is your friend.

Worked there as a temp for a while. Here's how it works.
1) Stuff is insured automatically for up to $100. $3 for every $100 you want after that.
2) No tracking. It gets there when it gets there. Make sure that they have CLEAR phone numbers for both the shipper and receiver. Its how the person receiving knows when it has arrived, they call them to come pick up.
3) Yes, it's placed in the luggage compartment. It is safe. Just make sure to pack it well so it doesn't rattle around inside the box you're shipping it in.

had my front bumper shipped from GA to Bellingham thru greyhound. Everything turned out ok. Probably cuz the bumper was bubble wrapped like crazy.
For sure way cheaper than going thru UPS, FedEX..etc.

I have my package lost 4 times from greyhound. Unless you have a bodykit or lip kit to ship, I would stay away from greyhound. Their rate is not cheap anymore compare to canada post anyways.

it should be safe, unless your package gets decapitated.

bought some shocks off a revscene member who lived in penticton and shipped it via greyhound. It came to my door very fast, was undamaged and was overall a smooth process. Cheaper than some alternatives too apparently.
