Default Very strange ebay buyer address

Hello everyone. I had a item listed in a buy in now auction with multiple available. This certain buyer bought out the rest of my stock, which was a few items totaling $250. Payment went through in paypal, the address is verified but when I search the address on google it seems to be a freight forwarding service.
The address is
18221 150th Ave
DHA 277261
Sprngfld Gdns, NY 11413-4010

The address is confirmed on paypal, but it also says Payment From:
abdullah alshulayan (The sender of this payment is Non-U.S. - Verified)

He is also using a hotmail for his email.

Anyone have any insight on this? Should I ship it? Should I request sig confirmation, add better insurance? I've read a couple thing about people getting burned using freight forwarding services. Thanks for reading

I ship to forwarders on a daily basis. Delivery success rate is just as good (if not better) than USPS international

EDIT: Just a little note. I google the address too, and the forwarding company was founded in 1994. They seem reputable to me. I think you're good to go.
All of my Kazakhstan orders ship via a freight forwarding service, because that's their only option

I would go ahead and ship the items. People use freight forwarders all the time when they buy items online.As far as signature goes, it will only protect you upon till the point of the New York delivery. Insurance won't kick in if the package is lost overseas, since it was intended for a USA delivery.
Once the package is in the carriers hand, they are responsible for the item arriving to the buyer.
However, keep in mind that the buyer can claim item not described or received on his end.

How is the buyer feedback history?

Thank you both for the quick reply. I think the name threw me off the most lol.
He has 50ish positive feedback but it seems like most was within the past couple months

If you go to his feedback profile you can check his "feedback left for others" also. With some international buyers with strange names, it's better if you use a forwarding service so you don't have to go through customs. I once had a parcel rejected by customs because the name was "Mohammad Hussein." So at least you won't have to worry about that.

But yeah if you sell to international buyers you're going to see some strange names, haha..

Ahh yes I forgot about that feature, looks like he has left all positive feedback so I guess I should be alright. Thanks for the help man
