<p>[QUOTE="NorthKorea, post: 1188031, member: 29643"]Given that you were sending the coins in to be graded by a TPG, I believe USPS is indemnified from paying off an insurance claim above what you paid. As another member stated, USPS Registered Mail is signed for at EVERY hand-off. Per USPS.com:</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Note: Due to extraordinary security precautions, the delivery length for Registered Mail may be 10-14 days. Registered Mail is not recommended if speed of delivery is important.</b></p><p><br /></p><p>By definition, any package sent Registered Mail would be FCM or Priority class. The notation above is to make it clear to the shipper that the package will be SLOWER than normal Priority Mail. If your package was sent on 29 April, as Conder said, the post office wouldn't open an investigation until 30 May, at the earliest. Heck, 20 May would still be within the window of reasonable delivery time given the class of mail and Registered status.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, USPS has been slow this year. I had a package that was being sent to me Priority Mail from New York. It took 10 days for the package to leave the state. In all, 13 postal days of shipping time (2.5 weeks) for a package shipped "Priority."[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
