And don't give me that nonsense about pilferage. UPS is far worse than USPS for theft. I ship and receive hundreds of collectibles every year via USPS and I've had maybe one or two items go missing over the years, and one of them was an overseas shipment sent registered that went missing in the customs house in NY. And if you don't want USPS insurance I know for a fact that private insurers cover USPS shipping as long as there is a tracking method, because I have it.
