It isn't too expensive to send it registered. It is probably the safest way to send something. I personally don't buy insurance. When I have something of high value I overnight the item USPS. It is a risk but when I ask the ladies at the counter, at our very busy PO, they all say they have never heard of an overnight package getting lost. That all said, registered is probably the way to go. Or do as Jay said, and ask the AH to help with it. Sort of curious what way you go so let us know, if you can.

Would I have to "prove" that the contents of the package are worth $5K ? or jump through any other hoops? Or is it a simple process?

Has anyone here actually collected on the USPS's insurance?
