I think it's okay to ship an animal to someone they already know, but to ship an animal to somewhere they've never been with new people I think is rather cruel and probably very confusing for the dog or animal.

That's pretty much the same thing as going and picking up a dog from a shelter or breeder though lol. It still involves the puppy or dog leaving with someone it doesn't know, whether in a plane, a train, a car, a bus, etc. I think that no matter what the situation is, you'll always be the evil one for a couple weeks because you just took him/her away from his mommy and brothers and sisters and now you're throwing strange objects around and feeding him weird food and putting him in wet stuff for the first time..but that's just my opinion.

Not exactly though.

The dog is going on a plane, being carried in a kennel by people it doesn't know, and then arriving to someone it doesn't know.

A puppy from the shelter, or breeder near you, has time to interact with the family/ people.

I see where you're coming from though, I just don't think it's all that similar.
