Can i ship primed cases???

Use a decapping die to remove the primers if you have one. If not, use a sizing die instead. It is safe to remove live primers; just don't slam the handle down rapidly on your press.
 
I would stay away from the WD-40 it will just mess with the ability to reload if not completely cleaned. safest way is fire them off in the gun or de primed in the press with the appropriate PPE in use.

speaking of live primers, can one deprime and reuse the primers or does it damage them on the way out?

You can reuse the primers almost all the time. I've deprimed and reused many hundred primers. Sometimes the anvil will fall out (and I lose it under my desk) so I toss those primers. If they were seated in cases with very tight primer pockets and you try to seat them in looser pockets, they sometimes wont seat and just fall out with a tap on a desk. I can't recall having a FTF with a reused primer.
 
^^^ as Lutnit said you can reuse them, I've done that many times and if the primer does not look beat up in any way in it goes other than that it's trashed
