[QUOTE="imrich, post: 24644105, member: 22331"]It's beyond my comprehension why you would suggest having 2 expensive security/insurance systems, especially when it appears you don't understand how registered mail is handled. Here's what people should know about "registered mail": [B]What are the characteristics of Registered Mail and Registered Mail Restricted Delivery?[/B] The most secure United States Postal Service® mail service (protected by safes, cages, sealed containers, locks, and keys). [LIST] [*]Must be presented to a retail employee or rural carrier. [*]Requires a signature upon delivery. [*]Mailers using Registered Mail Restricted Delivery can direct delivery only to the addressee (or addressee's authorized agent). [*]Delivery information provides delivery status or attempted delivery status when the item reaches its destination. [URL='https://faq.usps.com/s/article/Registered-Mail-The-Basics#tracking']Tracking[/URL] is not provided as the item is en route to its destination. [*]Registered Mail can be sent to military locations. However, delivery information is not available for items destined to an APO / FPO / DPO. [*]A system of receipts is provided to monitor movement of mail from the point of acceptance to delivery. These receipts are not readily available and can only be accessed by initiating a [URL='https://faq.usps.com/s/article/Domestic-Claims-The-Basics']claims[/URL] form, which cannot be completed by phone. [/LIST] I lost a very expensive shipment of coins through this abnormal system where the devious delivery path, used a slow moving ship to send the shipment overseas where it became "lost", with no means of tracking. A postmaster quit (retired) her job after trying unsuccessfully to determine the shipments' location on a stalled ship. This information is "hearsay" as received from a USPS Manager after the shipment was delivered![/QUOTE]
