Can i send Shipping Documents Directly to LC Issue Bank

Hello All,
I am new in this Forum and i really need your Professional answers/ advice to my enquiry as below:
I am a Supplier of some goods here in Eastern Europe and have been selling based on (T/T) / Advance Payment, but now due to the constant request of new buyers that we should accept CONFIRMED L/C 100% at sight from them as means of Payment, we have finnaly agreed to give it a Trail to begin bussiness by L/C 100% at sight Payment But the Problem here is that:
(1) We are based here in Eastern Europe ( Poland ) and Our Bank we use for Bussines is in USA ( Basically Offshore Bank )..., One of our New Buyer wants to Open and Confirm an L/C from his Bank in Europe ( in Germany ).
what i need to know is that, is it Possible & right according to L/C Practise for Me as a Seller to send the Completed Shipping Documents (as called for in the issued L/C ) Directly by myself via Express Courrier to the Buyer's Bank ( L/C Issuing Bank in Germany) ???? Insteed of me sending it by Courrier to my Bank in U.S.A and then my Bank sends it Back here to Europe ( Germany ) to the Buyer's / L/C Issuing Bank....
I am seeing this as a Waste of time for Documents Moving to USA., and then Return Back here to Europe, when i am here in Europe and can easilly Send the Documents via Express Courrier from here in Eastern Europe where i am (Poland) to Germany ( L/C Issuing Bank ) to receive Payment.
Please i need all your PROFESSIONAL ADVICE if this is right under the L/C Rules for me to do, and if the L/C Issuing Bank ( Buyer Bank ) in Germany will NOT reject the Shipping Documents & Reject Payment because i sent it directly by / from myself ????
I await your ADVICES !!!
Thanks
