<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 901268, member: 24633"]Of course, a lot depends on the value of the coins you are submitting, but since it is coming all the way from Alaska, I recommend that you use Registered Mail since every postal employee who handles the package must log it in or out, and these records are easily traced. Registered Mail provides insurance up to $25K, but you must still pay for the insurance for the declared amount. Some people think it is free or included in the shipping price, but it is not. The biggest hassle with Registered Mail is that you must use the special reinforced tape that you have to moisten (I use a sponge) and be sure that the tape covers all seams of the box or package.</p><p> </p><p>With any other method of shipping, i.e. Express, Priority, etc., paying the additional fee for <b>Tracking</b> is a waste of money. All it will tell you is that a package is received/shipped from one point to the next. From Alaska to Florida, the package may be processed through a half dozen facilities and 100 or more people could handle it, but you have no way of knowing who.</p><p> </p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
