Vehicle Delivery - Sensible Precautions

[Battles]

Hey,
I'm having a bike delivered (not a car, reasonably retro though) using Shiply but I'm wondering about things that could go wrong and how to plan for them or avoid them completely.

Specifically, I'm wondering what to do about the V5 and keys. Do I trust the delivery guy or Royal Fail?
Maybe the question is who do I trust least?
Getting a favour from the seller in terms of using FedEx for the keys and docs might be awkward because I got it for much less than both he and I expected it to sell for. Ker-ching for me but he's well annoyed.

I've done some searches to find old threads because I've definitely read stories, good and bad, here in the past but couldn't see anything useful.

Any advice welcome.

Here, have some transporter photo goodness for your troubles...
This is what I'm hoping for:

Send you own courier IMO. If you can arrange a day/time when he is available (work?) then it's less hassle for him, and you know they will arrive safely and securely.

the delivery guy will need the keys and the seller will have to send the V5 off so he can just put the new owners slip in an envelope.
