Would you use rods shipped out like that? Without packing materials?

The more packing material the better. I have shipped out a ton of stuff over the years, not to mention the parts I used to sell when I owned hidplanet, and its not worth the risk of damaging goods, then having to deal with the fallout. Overpack and you wont have issues. Ship without packing material, and youre at high risk of having a pissed off buyer demanding their money back that you probably already spent.

Here's what I went through a while back when the seller half-assed it when packing my brand spanking new JDM Zenki corner lights

I was lucky.
Please don't use a shoebox and paper when shipping fragile items internationally.
