<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jester3681, post: 2328180, member: 53130&quot;]USPS Registered is really the only way to go above $150 of insurance. That&#039;s about the line where it gets cheaper than standard insurance and you can only go up to $500 with regular insurance. </p><p><br /></p><p>Registered Mail is a secondary service, or at least can be. I have shipped using First Class with Registered, Priority with Registered, and Flat Rate with registered. I have shipped in boxes and in padded mailers, although I don&#039;t think you are supposed to use padded mailers. Depends on your Post Office. Not only can you insure more (up to $50k), you get blow by blow tracking. Every time your package is exchanged it needs to be accounted for. You all but eliminate sticky fingers because the carriers take personal responsibility for the item.</p><p><br /></p><p>When you package your coins for Registered Mail, don&#039;t use gloss plastic shipping tape. Use the brown, paper based shipping tape. Or no tape at all. The Post Office has to seal all Registered Mail with special tape that doesn&#039;t really stick well to standard packing tape.</p><p><br /></p><p>One last note - it is a pain in the butt for the Postal employee to package the item Registered for you. Be polite and be patient.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
