Over the years I&#039;ve learned the &quot;hard way&quot; that there is virtually no accountability in the U.S. postal system, and even when you can prove that someone has committed a felony using the postal system, postal inspectors will not initiate efforts unless they have a large portfolio on an entity. Postal employees know which packages are valuable, and the relative value, as different colored labels are used for increasing value. I believe only registered mail parcels are monitored in the system, all others being handled with minimal (to none in a rural area) security. It seems, the postal management doesn&#039;t want to be held accountable, inasmuch as there are numerous constraints for shipping via registered mail, the costs are significant, the wrapping process horrendous. In the event of a loss, you must prove what was shipped, and the items&#039; value. Living in a rural area, I&#039;ve tried on numerous occasions to acquire the special tape dictated by U.S.P.S.. Postal employees and stationery suppliers look at you as if your talking a foreign language when you ask for &quot;registered shipping&quot; wrapping tape, or where it might be acquired. I&#039;ve had the least problems by shipping un-insured, which I believe, PCGS, NGC will not allow. Even the U.S. Mint ships packages without postal insurance, using a &quot;clandestine&quot; shipping route. :rolling:</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
