<p>[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 3359989, member: 76086"]As a dealer of 30+ years I can offer some input. Forget all you used to know about registered mail. It no longer exists as we think (or thought). All registered mail is now the same as First Class, which is to say it falls in with junk mail, your traditional bills, etc. First Class mail is now the lowest class of mail, the so-called 'Priority Mail' is just first class that you pay 15 or more times too much. This week I received a registered package with return receipt (from another US address). I did not sign for it in any way, though the green return card was torn out and presumably mailed back to the sender. Certainly no security in that, and the sender did not get what they paid for.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line, send everything the lowest form of mail, but make sure it is insured. That's about all that matters.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
