[QUOTE="imrich, post: 1049708, member: 22331"][b]Very Accurate/Informative!![/b] [B][FONT=Arial]I've collected from USPS on numerous occasions, and found that the process may be prolonged to a year, and can be very convoluted, as their requirements for proof of content/value are very restrictive. I believe that when shipping via registered mail, you can ship virtually anything reasonable, and I've shipped large sums of cash with proper value declaration. A caveat when using the USPS insured shipping is that you may be required to prove the contents of a shipment, and the real value, My understanding/experience is that only the proven value will be covered to the maximum of the amount for which a premium has been paid. After several encounters, when there's extraordinary value, I package in full view of a Notary Public with a camera, I believe that many will not read the USPS documents pertaining to insurance coverage, and try to avoid premiums by shipping uninsured/underinsured, expecting full compensation.
