Priority mail w/ registered

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 :-)

It's not just USPS or hobby items. I've had similar problems (crazy routing, lost items, etc) with UPS and Fed also this year and the problems only seem to be getting worse. I think all the delivery systems and services are overstressed.
