<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doug444, post: 1905741, member: 38849&quot;]First of all, understand that Registered mail without supplementary insurance has a maximum indemnity of around $45.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can buy supplementary (USPS) insurance for shipment in the U.S., but not for overseas shipment.&nbsp; We are way behind the curve, in a number of British Commonwealth countries, you can buy the insurance for any destination.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also be aware that sending a Registered parcel to Russia, much of Eastern Europe, and most of Africa is roughly equivalent to wearing a &quot;Kick Me&quot; sign.&nbsp; Just makes the thieves job easier.&nbsp; That said, if your shipment is worth a couple hundred, or more, there&#039;s no easy solution.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not quite understanding this comment:&nbsp; &quot;...via USPS registered mail for insurance reasons,&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The breakeven point for Registered shipping in the U.S. is roughly $1200.&nbsp; Meaning that, $1200 of straight insurance costs about the same as Registration plus $1200 supplementary insurance.&nbsp; Above $1200, straight insurance is more expensive; below $1200, Registration is more expensive.&nbsp; Good luck, and I hope you are not confused.&nbsp; I mail tons of stuff.&nbsp; I also buy discount postage off eBay, which saves 20% to 30% on postage costs, but also means you have to take it to the Post Office for processing, no pick-up service.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
