<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 2328135, member: 19065&quot;]The USPS <u>will</u> (and has the authority) to balk at using their other service boxes for Registered Mail, even if you cover every bit of the printing. They are familiar with the shape of their other boxes so &#039;could&#039; easily point this out and refuse it when you present the parcel at the counter. Most of the Priority Mail flat rate boxes have terms of use printed <u>on</u> them. Problem is with using them for Registered Mail, you never know which clerk is going to reject it for this reason. Sometimes they reject it, and sometimes it seems they do so just for the excuse not to having to help you with a Registered Mail piece because each one is a lot of work for them to do, they are/can be lazy. Others might resist because of the box, but eventually allow you to ship the parcel, and still others won&#039;t care one way or the other. I&#039;ve experienced all of these trying to ship things by Registered Mail. Best bet it to use something other than their boxes/envelopes and seal every seam with the paper tape, if not entirely entombing the parcel in the paper tape.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some tips and info from Stamps.com on <a href="https://stamps.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/154/~/how-to-prepare-registered-mail" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://stamps.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/154/~/how-to-prepare-registered-mail" rel="nofollow"><b>How to Prepare a Registered Mail</b></a> parcel.</p><p><br /></p><p>Registered Mail is a hassle and requires a trip to the post office for help by a clerk, but it is very secure and the best fully insured option, unless you have third party insurance to rely on as many businesses do for shipping another way. Registered Mail is much slower domestically, but for International Registered Mail, it&#039;s both secure, trackable outside the country in the receiving nation&#039;s postal system, and fairly expedient by comparison to rate of delivery time domestically.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
