Is It Safe To Send Item

I have received payment for an item and when I chose view order details I had a strange message. It basically send that the buyer had recently changed or deleted their address and I should confirm with buyer if address shown was correct. Well I have sent an email to the buyer asking him if the address shown on order details is correct but no reply. Should I just send the address I can see in order details or wait for buyer to confirm (which he might not do). Im not asking this question from a safety point as view but I just dont want to send to the wrong address and then get into a non received item dispute.

    You should always send the the address on paypal if that was the payment method.

    I had a similar message the other day, and when I contacted the buyer she had no idea what ebay was talking about, as the address was correct and she hadn't moved recently. I'd give it a bit longer for confirmation off the buyer, if I were you.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Even sending it recorded to a non verified address will not assist you in a non receipt claim. Id wait for a response.

    Please don't bother wasting 70p on recorded. If the item is under £36 get a certificate os posting and if it goes missing just claim from RM. If it's over £36 send it special delivery.
