It's not that life is too short, it's that the alternative goes on for a looooooooong time.

It's possible that the sender used Priority packaging and then sent it registered to keep the cost of insurance lower. The extra security of registered would make it a lot slower. Express might have been a better idea if fast mattered a lot, but I've received express packages just hammered before, so I can say it's not always the safest way.

For me, if any insured item is 2k+, it is more cost effective to use Registered Mail.
Plus, it also supposed to be under lock & key. Just the hassle using the sealed brown tape that's required on all edges.

The total USPS tracking news blackout for 4 or 5 days in a row on a valuable item is a little unnerving. But I assume it will show. Last time this happened to me all of a sudden I got 9 text alerts in a row and magically it was suddenly down the street.

I only sell high ticket items in person. I’m to afraid to ship anything over $1k. I’m sure that USPS get’s the job done well most of the time :-)
