Logistics of selling an entire collection

A few months ago I started listing my collection of MTG cards on CardMarket and CardTrader.
I think I am around halfway through (around 5k cards) and I got a message from a store (700 positive reviews) that they would like to buy my entire collection, their offer is around 45% market price, 2000€ give or take.

I am tempted to accept, or at least bargain it up to 50/55% once I finish listing my collection, because boy is it a pain to sell them, but how do you handle a sale like that?

Like, how are you supposed to package thousand of cards for shipping?
How do I make sure the buyer won't just say X cards went missing or were never sent?

Should I drive there instead (it's a 4hour drive)? But I don't see the point unless we go through the cards together, which is gonna take hours, so I don't see it as ideal.

Has anyone gone through a similar process?
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Since people are going to ask, collection is mostly bulk (rare, uncommon and commons, mixed sets), here is the distribution:
Max price is 30€, 190 above 5€, 110 between 5€ and 3€, 450 cards between 3€ and 1€.

But my main question is still about the logistics 😃
