Registered is obviously the most secure but with the storm right now you may be waiting weeks for that to show up, there is no real time assurance with it. It would be the cheapest though. Express and Priority mail now have the same priced insurance which will cost more but it will be there in 1-2 days depending which one you use. </p><p><br /></p><p>All three methods will require a signature for delivery with that value insurance and yes do get insurance. If they lose it you just have to put in a claim and a few weeks later you'll have a check. Make doubles of any documents you are sending with it for your records, you would need that for extra evidence for insurance. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just guessing off the top of my head express would probably run you $60 something, Priority the $45ish and registered $20something.
