Shipping a Battlefoam bag full of miniatures?

So I have a couple armies that I'm planning on selling, and they both come with their own battlefoam 720 bag that's packed to the brim. Assuming any free space in the slots is stuff with packing material, can I just ship the battlefoam bag itself and reasonably expect to have everything arrive safely? I've never shipped one before so I'm not sure how they hold up.

So if I read it right, no box around it? If that's the case I wouldn't recommend it at all.
Now if there is going to be a box around it and you pack material around the bag to fill in the empty space then yes things should arrive relatively unscathed.

Drop a 25 pound box/weight on it. That's what you should expect for the package to go through.

Not to mention that you've got no way to reliably address it or keep the package secure if you try to just ship the case without an outer box.
Heck, I'm not even sure the USPS would accept it like that.

The accept suitcases and the plastic tupperware boxes. they have to be taped closed, with strapping tape. [tape with threads in it. Not duct tape.]
