<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doug444, post: 1554794, member: 38849&quot;]The insurance (on top of Registered fees) is something you pay in addition.&nbsp; The breakeven point is currently, I believe, around $1200.&nbsp; In other words, registered plus $1200 insurance costs about the same as $1200 straight insurance without registry.&nbsp; Above $1200, registered + insurance is cheaper, and by the time you are talking (say) $3000 insurance, it is MUCH cheaper.</p><p><br /></p><p>For an 8-ounce first class mail parcel traveling between two cities in Ohio, insured for $1200, the <u>registered+insurance</u> option is $18.60 including postage for the item; the same parcel with <u>straight insurance</u> is $17.05 including postage.</p><p><br /></p><p>[calculated on USPS website, October 16]</p><p><br /></p><p>===============</p><p>quote:&nbsp; As long as it stays domestic it is insured for the declared value up to $25K.<p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">===============</span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">Yes, but that extra coverage (between $0 and $25,000) costs considerably extra.&nbsp; Registry is NOT a flat rate option, except (for instance) a registered letter with zero declared value.&nbsp; See the example above.</span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
