Sent a package w/ insurance via USPS website once. NC to Beckett. With $5k insurance which was all I could get online even though value was more like $6000, and priority mail, cost $88. Package went missing in Dallas ,I believe ( whichever hub is nearest Beckett). Filed a claim, had to "prove" the contents value, Basically where I had printouts from where I had bought some of the items online. Ended up receiving roughly $4500 from USPS . The teller at the PO says, " wonder how much it would have cost to ship that registered"? Calculated $5k insurance , still priority , Would have been $33. He said b/c the package is signed for every time it changes hands, the insurance is basically "free" .
I know whenever I ship anything of value now, it goes registered.
The paper tape is so no-one can remove the date/red stamp that they use on all edges and seems.
