[QUOTE="krispy, post: 861927, member: 19065"][B]Bad advice![/B] for an ounce of silver cost of around $18. Registered mail is far too much effort for sending one ounce of silver that only costs approx. $18. For Registered mail you have to pack and seal with brown paper tape and stand in a queue at the PO to get it in the system. Time and materials defeat insuring the piece unless you are sending to particular international destinations where security is an issue. IF you are just mailing to a domestic address, then First Class insured to the minimum $50 with tracking will suffice. Avoid Priority Mail as the fees are excessive and not worth it for one piece. Avoid Priority Mail flat rate envelopes and boxes as those fees are insane unless you are able to stuff a lot of heavy things into a flat rate box. There are discounts to postage if you use the online rate calculator and print/ship that way. For a single ounce of silver shipped coast-to-coast domestically in the US, in a padded envelope, First Class and insured upto $50 you should pay less than $3 for postage. Tracking, Delivery Confirmation, et al. services are extras which you can elect to buy. Registered Mail will cost you around $13 for the same thing, plus add on the materials you need, brown tape and the time spent in line at the PO.
