<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 25569693, member: 77639&quot;]Registered is insured to the declared value and that determines cost.&nbsp; For a value of $13k, registering is 35.70 + 8 x 2.70 = $57.30.&nbsp; See table below.&nbsp; Registered is more secure than regular insured mail plus you can register with coverage to a value of $50k.&nbsp; You can register more than $50k but had best have private insurance for the overage value.&nbsp; Regular insurance tops out at $5k.</p><p><br /></p><p>Actual postage is on top of registration.&nbsp; When you register, postal clerks will offer priority or express shipping for extra cost.&nbsp; This is pretty much a sucker play.&nbsp; Registered mail moves at its own rate because of security measures.&nbsp; I’ve paid priority shipping on a registered parcel going from CA to TX … and it took 8 weeks.&nbsp; That said, I’ve paid for priority on registered parcels and had them go cross-country in a few days.&nbsp; It’s a gamble.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have private insurance and are not in a hurry, registered can still be desirable.&nbsp; It’s the safest shipping known, so private insurance rates are usually lowest for registered mail.&nbsp; You write zero for value on the form (a big security plus).&nbsp; Will still cost $19 to register it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1637217[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
