Day after day the carrier showed up empty, like Santa Claus without any presents... After the package disappeared in the tracking, I got fed up, went to the post office and low and behold was in the cage.

To be fair, Priority Mail on it's own isn't a whole lot better nowadays. I sent a Priority package to the Chicago area a couple of months ago, and it bounced around the area for nearly 3 weeks before it finally got delivered.

It's an insurance issue most likely. For my insurance, I'm only covered up to $2k with Priority Mail. For anything higher than that, I need to use Registered Mail.

Yeah, I sent an item to a private signing event a week before the deadline via priority mail, which was supposed to get from CA to AZ in two days. I missed the event entirely. Took over a week.
