Daniel,
I think the first answer could be just lock the stone in the box, give the
box and your key to the courier.

Part A: I heard this one where the friend also has a key that will open
his lock, but not yours. Also, the condition is that no destructive
techniques are allowed, so breaking or cutting wasn't a possible solution.
Part B:
He never states that the rope is attached to the top of the pole, just
solution for part A:
Lock the box, send it to your friend. Send the key as a separate delivery.
In essence there are two deliveries made.

The first one is simple if you relate it to public key sharing in network
security.
Place the diamond in the box. Secure the box with your lock. Send it to
your friend. So far, it's safe from the courier. When your friend receives
the box, she secures the box with her lock and sends it back to
nce there are two deliveries made.

But the courier will steal anything that isn't locked up,
including a key! I believe the solution is as follows:
Your friend sends you his box, unlocked, by courier. You place

I don't see why your friend can't send you his lock (without the key),
