Mark- I know that, and I'm not disputing that without proof they won't pay. But why should they care? Why would anybody register a worthless box for 25K? It would cost around $60, and nobody is just going to give the post office $60 gratuitously. The only possible outcome would be that maybe it actually would get lost. But registered packages virtually never do (I haven't lost one in 25 years, and I bet I've sent close to a thousand).
So of course they demand proof, but I, as well as Jim B., are suggesting it shouldn't matter. Since they deliver every registered package they should encourage everyone to insure things for 25K. It's just a lot more money in their pocket.
