Any city has good/safe places to drop transfer items, it's as much of an issue as you want to make it.
There really isn't a reason you can't make friends on P99, there's good folks around everywhere. I got a GNOME of all races to help me transfer some singing steel boots the other day. I'd met him only once before in a CoM group - said he knew some others in my guild when we were smalltalking...that was good enough for me. He didn't run off with them
