[QUOTE="buddy16cat, post: 1963337, member: 37356"]From what I read it sounds like you should stick to registered mail if you need insurance or maybe try UPS? I haven't checked their policy. Their packages are automatically set to the liability $100 but you can declare more up to $50,000 if you take it to a UPS store. [B]UPS’s liability for loss or damage for each domestic package or international shipment, or to each pallet in a UPS Worldwide Express Freight ® shipment is limited to $100.00 without a declaration of value. –T he maximum declared value is $50,000.00 per package/$100,000.00 per pallet shipped via UPS Worldwide Express Freight. UPS’s liability for loss or damage can be increased up to $50,000.00 per package or $100,000.00 per pallet by making a declaration of value for an additional charge (subject to terms and conditions). – For shipments with a declared value of more than $50,000.00, multiply the total declared value by the rate to determine the declared value charge for the shipment. – For packages tendered to a UPS driver with a declared value amount more than $1,000.00, the shipper must retain a high-value shipment summary signed by the driver. The UPS shipping system provides this form when the shipping label is requested. – Declared value charges can be included in charges billed to receivers or third parties. – Refer to the “UPS Tariff/Terms and Conditions of Service – United States” for more information[/B] [B]I checked this UPS terms of service and saw this: 4 3.1 Items Not Accepted for Transportation No service shall be rendered in the transportation of any of the prohibited articles listed in the applicable Service Guide or the Terms. UPS does not accept for transportation, and shippers are prohibited from shipping: – Articles of unusual value, which shall be deemed to include, but are not limited to: • Any package with an actual value of more than $50,000; • Any pallet with an actual value of more than $100,000; • Coins, cash, currency, bonds, postage stamps, mone y orders, and negotiable instruments (such as drafts, bills of exchange, or promissory notes, but excluding checks); • Unset precious stones, and industrial diamonds; • Any article that contains more than 50 percent by weight of gold or platinum, or any combination thereof in raw form including, but not limited to, bullion, bars, or scraps of these metals.
