Default What is the best way to ship a very expensive item

Posted By: barrysloate

I feel confident enough that if I had a package of that value I would send it registered mail and insure it for the maximum 25K. I've actually done it before. It will cost about $40-45. But I don't know how large it is, as you didn't tell us.

UPS insures up to $50,000, and has overnight and second day air, and of course will accept large packages. 50K of insurance, with one or two day delivery, should cost around $175-200.

And when I shipped the Lindy Lindstrom card, which I insured for 92K, I used Brink's, but you would have to see if they have an office near you, which they may not.

Or you could hand deliver it.
